I was wondering if I were to get some twenties on my maxima, would I still be able to lower the car without wheel well modifications. I was wanting to get sprints. OH yeah they would be 8.5 inches wide. Thanks

 

what size tires would u put on em???

 

The tires would practically have to be a band of rubber, nothing else for it to work. Even then, you probably couldnt go over bumps without rubbing.

 

talk to speedy he has 20's on his 4th gen....

 

Ive seen a bunch of 4th gens with 20"s in chicago, ive even heard of someone talking about putting massive 22"s I dont think you can lower it if you put them, it akes your car look like a 4x4, just get 18's and drop it about 1.5"s, You cant speed with big rims cause of rim action

 

lol rim action im a start sayin that..

 

Just to let you know a 4th gen with 20s looks mighty fugly! I saw one two days ago and that **** was ugly. Our cars just dont look right with the large wheels. 19s and lowered will be a much better choice.

 

19s-




Looks nothing like it did huh jaime....

 

the bigger the rims/wheels size are, the more rotation it'll take to complete a full revelation. therefore it'll decrease your HP, it'll jus blings tat's all.

 

Not if you keep the same size overall diameter as stock. It's called Plus sizing. Here's some info:

nope...i believe its because the actual rim overall is larger which spreads out the area which the car has to move. With a smaller rim, the car has less rotational mass to move and thus moves faster.

Its something technical like that...its proven as well, bigger rims=slower times. period.

PS. Also the only thing that "plus sizing" does is keep the speedo and ODO in check, thats all.

 

If you really wanted to get technical, you could call it rotational inertia. There are a bunch of mathematical equations that could be whipped out, but in laymen terms, more mass (weight) spread over a larger diameter (15's vs 22's), requires more force to reach a certian RPM (speed) in a certain amount of time (acceleration). Basically...you will accelerate a hell of alot quicker with stock 15's than you ever would with 22's. If anybody wants a more in-depth explaination, I encourage you to enroll in your closest mechanical engineering school and take notes....

Well. His original question was regards to whether he could fit 20s or not. The answer is yes. Obviously he's not doing it to win any races and my post was strictly for the matter of keeping the speedo correct.

 

20inches.org has some 4th gens on 20's.. and 21's... they are pretyt common in south florida

 

20"x8.5" wheel with sprints might rub if you don't roll the rear lips, you have to check the off-set of the wheel.

 

what tires are u runnin, i have some evo 19's???

 

falkens, 245/35/19

soon i will try a 255/35/19 in the rear (this will make it taller & wider).

 

oh aight koo im lookin at the falken 451's. i wanted to try the 245/40/19 but i don't wanna roll my fenders or get rim action...

 

i have the 245/35/19 and i didn't roll my rear lip and i don't rub at all.

245/40 will be taller but not as wide.

 

my boy selling 20s came off his 2002 max its 20x8 with a tire of 245/40/20 and i got a sprint drop u think im gonna rub??? front or rear???

 

RI-max

It depends on your boys rim offsets also. If its going to rub, most likely to rub in the front. I believe if your boys offsets is around +30et to +40et it should clear the fenders, calipers, and no rub. You have to role your rear fenders also.

 

you can fit 20s and ride around tuckin rim.... if you are on bags

 

I wish I could tuck the 19s. Im glad I listened to you and all the others about getting 19s.

I have a set of Lowenhart BR5's for sale. They are 19x8.5 +45 offset. Only used for 2months. Personally I think 19's would look much better on your car.

 

how much clearance to the ground do you have, with the kit?

 

front is like 5 3/8 inches from the ground. My tires are nittos 235/35/19 for the other guy who asked me.

 

i have 3 inches of clearance in front

 

i finally saw the 235/3519's in the shop today. not that badd from what i heard. im still tryin to decide which ones to go with...
