i just put 20s on my max and they dont rub at all, no problems a lil slower then w. the 18s i had on it last yr but it fills up the wheel wells nicely, i am not sure how to put a pic on here but i will when i get my digital cam back. any1 have any problems w. 20s? i havent changed the suspension yet i dont know if i should get air bags or not the rims are gloss black and so is the car

It's not slower, the speedo is calibrated w/ OEM wheels, so you lose some of the speed in translation, IIRC.

 

God, I hope you dropped it too, though.

and finally, the gang's all here:

 

LOL metal i think thats your favorite of the lil faces huh? but very truue.....pictures are a must!!!! i cant decide on 19's or 20s for my maxima, but mine are gonna be all chrome... but ill also have tein H tech springs/illuninias by then so i might go with 19s too avoid any problems.... i second metals what size tire u running wioth the 20s??

 

i just took some pics, need the peice to connect it to the comp i will get it from my girl in a lil when i close the gym at 7pm check back in a few hrs. sorry shouldnt have posted nuttin w. no pics hahahah

i am runnin 245.35/20 sumotumas i got chrome 18s i am sellin if any1 is intrested for like 900 they have about 6k on them used them last summer paid 1600 225/40/18 wanali check my aol profile deiztwo9 for the pics

 

send pics to madwayz@aol.com

 

I have about 17 of the html codes for the faces memorized, so I will usually just use one of those instead of looking for a different one.

 

I want to see them too

BTW, metal it is vB code. Not HTML

 

Extra weight will slow him down too.

 

If the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo is the exact same as the OEM setup then there is no speedo difference. The weight difference between the 18's and the 20's is what is making the car feel slower. That is a lot of wheel for the Max.

Use this to calculate the speedo difference:

With the added weight and wheel size, the car will actually accelerate a bit slower. It will also take more effort when braking.

 

hey guys, would it make a difference in speed between 17" and 18" and 19" rims/tires?

 

The lighter the wheel, the quicker you accelerate. 17"s are generally lighter than 19"s, etc.

 

oh ok, now that makes sense

my friend told me that it's all about the size of your rims, the larger the rim is, the slower it is because it takes longer to accelerate.

 

And I was expecting some nice pictures

 

make a DAMN cardomain site already!!!! lol............ friggin what is it? 17 replies and no pictures! doh! ... in other words tho, dont get 20s if your main goal is speed

 

my girl brought the wrong wire to hook up the digi cam i have the pics they look sweet i will send em out when i get it tonite i hope when she gets off work. sorry for the delay

 

Here's mine with 20s. They feel kind of heavy at first, but I've gotten used to them.

 

nice car....aegis 3 pc??? long time favorite of mine... was thinking about going with them for my car....but ever since i had my 22s...im addicted too lots of chrome...and just nto sure if they will shine enough lol...

 

i have 20's as well. I have it tucking all the way around. Rides fine and i dont have any rubbing problems. That is after rolling the fenders and having the wheels modified....lol

 

Look up moment of inertia. It depends on the mass distribution on the wheel. Larger wheels tend to be "slower" not only because they weigh more, but also because the weight is distributed further from the axis of rotation.

It looks clean. Not a fan of 20s on Maximas, but yours look good.

 

i dont even want too ask what "rolling the fenders and wheels modified" involves lol....... allright so ya squeezed it out of me... what is it? lol

 

wheres the dubbers bruther?

 

i just bent the metal on the fender upwards. ABND 5 zigen shaved down the offset from 38 to 42..so i could ride around with the wheels tucking.

 

whats up with the pictures....we should have a rule...no pictures no post!!

 

i have the pics now i am sending them to madwayz@aol.com he will post them when he can let me know what u think i have spinners coming not sure if i will put them on i like the look now black on black. i also have a body kit, kombat style not sure if i will put that on either, if i do i wanna pait the car yellow or deep candy red let me know what u think

 

Very nice minus the grill

 

nv max, your car looked just as hot with the other wheels(5 spoke). Where those dubs too, or -1? Already sold?

 

Yeah , I don't have them anymore. Just the mesh. These were the old
shoes.

 

not bad at all

 

the old chrome one's looked bad-***..

 

i cant get the pics on here tried to open a car domain site last nite but it still hasnt sent me the password? i dunno why i will try another email adress later i am goin to work now. if any1 can get the pics up send me an email at deiztwo9@aol.com or just im me

 

Just out of curiosity: What springs do you all have (for those of you sittin' on 20s)?

 

Nice pics!! The biggest I'll get is 18".

 

jic's...............

 

nice wheels man ..

what do u think about mine !!




Here's mine with 20s

 

rims are ok, but get rid of that fart can

 

i like'm....

 

I like everything but that muffler. Get a Frankencar or Cattman catback and it'll be the complete package.
