Just wondering how the Altima nismo rims look on the max and if you guys think they would look good.

 

Only ONE person that I know of has them. There are some pictures in this thread, but PM him for more on his car. For me it was either those rims or the ones that are in my sig, and I picked the ones that are in my sig

Thanks for the info. I sent him a pm...hopefully he replies.

nice set up... makes me want tosell my rims EVEN more now.. i think i might get hte 19's in g35 rims... those would look SICK !

 

I think you should get the Nismo 19's if you still want to run good times at the track

 

You shouldn't be running 19's if you want good slips.

 

Thanks for the pics and info. Im definitly getting those 18in nismo rims now. My car is the same color so it should look pretty good.

 

I don't see why not, if you get the right sized tire to match the overall diameter of the stock set-up...but that would=thinner tire which would=bad traction, so yes I do agree with you.

thanks Kamski.

 

Kam, what's with posting the link to the pic in the thread?

 

i think he was helping someone see a pic of your ride..

I do LOVE my track times...hmmm... this will take LOTS OF THOUGH... BOng me ..

 

The 19" NISMOS are lighter than most 18" rims and as far as I know lower profile tires equal better traction.. ...am I confused?


BTW ALTI SE-R rims are very light at 16.5 LBs I believe.

 

Wow on the Altima rims!

Maybe someone can elaborate on the sidewall/traction thing

 

Well, I would think a smaller sidewall would = less "flex" in the tire as it digs in for traction.

 

I think you are referring more to handling here. If you really think about it then IMO a thinner sidewall will result in less traction because there is no "flex" and a thicker sidewall will result in better traction because it has a little flex to prevent will slippage...someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just what I think.

 

You are correct, just look at dragster slicks. HUGE sidewalls, anyways for the street 18's are more than enough. 19's are to much if you ask me when you take into account drivability, pot holes, and the fact that no matter what we don't ever approach the limits of the car. At least not usually :-)

 

Its PUUURTY

 

For the sake of this thread 18" rims with 45 profile tire and 19" rims with 40 profile tire is not big a difference at all. Its not like we are going from 60 profile to 35.

 

Anyone knows how the Altima SE-R wheels would look like on a Maxima 04? PLZ lemme know if anyone done it or has some pix.

 

The SER rims look good on the 5.5 gen but I never seen them on a 6th gen. Lots of people selling them in the classified section though.

 

People had the 350Z track wheels on their 5.5 gen and many said that it would look odd on a 6th gen.........look at sig

 

Just to give you an idea of what nismo rims cost.

 

Yipes!! Expensive.
