2002 Max w/ 2004 SE wheels and TEIN H-TECHS / PICS

Hey guys, I've been real excited about posting pictuures of my car..it's finally done (for this week).

I have it dropped with Tein H-Techs and tokico illumina struts, I alss have 2004 maxima SE wheels with 245/40/18 tires...it's a nice setup, no problems with tires and with struts set at 1 front and 2 rear it rides about stock...hope you like.

Pics of the car are also on Page 2 - they are a little bigger...if someone knows how to make them bigger here let me know.

Ride is awesome with the ILLUMINA's 1 in front 2 in rear is almost stock, 3 all the way around is a bit harsh for me but handles real well....I'm gonna stick with the stock feel...

Looks good but not much of a difference from the stock 17 inch SE rim look, plus its adding more weight. Looks good although.

I think that looks really good. I am a fan of the "stock wheels" look. I really like the Maxima 18's even if they might be heavy. Did you get the wheels from someone or from the dealer?

Very very nice. Why do 18s look so big on Maximas and not on Jettas? like 19s on a Jetta is not too big looking.

no problems rubbing and about 3 days....
I looked real close in the rear, I really can't see where it would rub, I'll have to check with people sitting in it..

Looks hot! I was thinking of getting the 18's like yours but got 18's from a G35 coupe. I'm in the process with the springs/shocks, coming soon...

very nice.


The way the drop is now, it looks perfect to me. But by what people say.. it takes brand new springs at least a week to fully settle.. so it may get even lower than that.

And I also heard that 04 wheels with stock rubber (as wide as it is) will rub on the fender or strut or something when lowered because of the offset?


looks really good..

please report back if a little while with more pictures and see if it settles anymore..

i'd really like to see exactly how H-techs are supposed to sit once fully settled.

That isn't the stock rubber, I got 245x40x18, not 245x45x18....

nope, not the titanium edition.....I thought that was funny too, I didn't notice it until I took the picture and psted it..
