Im about to get some rims but wanted to see if anyone had rims on the're 4 gen and have NOT lowered it. I know I know, lowering it looks way better, but I just got to see it without the drop, because for the perfect drop look with the least amount of "comfort of the ride" taken away, we're looking at about $700-$1000 bucks right? just want to look at my options, so please let me see em...........

 

that was before the eibach drop

 

That doesn't look bad at all, nice

 

What size are those?

 

heres mine with 2k3 17" rims no drop at all. i like the look.

 

wow, that looks perfect and those are 17's! nice......

 

Before S-tech/agx drop....They are G35C 18s

 

Hmm thats weird, the picture won't show up, maybe it's just my computer?

 

 

it looked horrible not dropped...IMO

 

ooooo, that feels nice

 

AFTER DROP...and fresh from body shop with front end swap and cefiros...

 

It's not THAT bad, but Yeah, huh, with the G35 it looks way better dropped, your right on those.

 

......... dude your totally

 

Do you have more pics of your car from other angles, Im really liking those rims on the 4 gen max

 

i think mine looks ok not dropped, on 2k3 17's

 

my advice to you sir...drop before wheels.(you can thank me later)

 

Why a drop first?

 

thats good advice, if you can afford a drop, i cant

 

id get some 2k2 or 2k3 17 inchers like mine and just not drop it. i like the look, theres not a huge gap in the wheel wells. i dont want to be scraping on every speed bump and stuff either.

 

1. Car will handle MUCH better
2. Car will look better
3. Once you get rims, you will be much happier that you lowered first.

 

it will also ride worse with a drop, ive heard,

 

So how much for a drop like yours? and how is the comfort of the ride?

 

get a used setup from the For Sale forum on here and expect to pay anywhere from 200-500 for struts/spring combo...about 500-700 coilovers

 

comfort on my set up...not too harsh but definately stiffer than stock.... a lot stiffer.

EDIT*- my struts are adjustable, I keep them stiff on purpose.

 

good luck.

 

WOW, even more than I thought, but thanks for the info. Definatley makes me look at lowering a little bit more.

 

Check the sig, 18's not dropped.

 

Yeah, that looks pretty sweet, are those 18's though? they look a little small but still look good

 

Yeah the're 18's, the tires are too thin (215/35/18) b/c they came off of my bro's Eclipse.

 

no drop walmart hubcaps lol......put all my bux into sound.

Edit : still aint a bad lo0king 11 yo car. had since 95

 

you shouldve splurged and got the spinning hubcaps.

 

ya i do ill post them now. i dont have that many but a few, they arent very good, im gonna tak some more today though





i dunno if those will work hopefully.

 

Yeah, I feel ya. I basically have put all my money in sound. Mine is stock looking to

 

Yeah, those rims look really good on your ride. Im actually thinking of getting those rims, the 350z rims or the g35. But since you basically need to drop the car if you have the g35's I just might go with the 2k3' or 350z's. Thanks man. More pics would be good to though

 

With sock ride height no smaller than 18s it looks strange with anything smaller, if you go smaller i would consider a drop.

 

If you do your suspension be sure to replace the axles at the same time.

 

Heres some FRESSHHHHHH pics of my maxima w/ NO DROP.

I have the full tokico spring/illumina kit waiting though.... just need time to install it... and i wont let anyone touch my car anymore... nada..

You likes?

I aint Horrible really, and not that noticeable until you really look....

In St.Louis we have MASSIVE~ potholes after winter so ive kept the stock height for that reason too... tight suspension and 50series tires can Crack a rim if the pot hole is BIG enough... and they are... esp at 50mph..

 

I've got 17" Konig Prophets, picked them up cheap on the .org with stock ride height. Hoping to go coilovers this summer.

 

i might get a drop in a while, but i really like how it looks right now. ill post more pics on this thread later.
