Finally installed 19" Enkeis on my Maxima - PICS

First of all thank you all who helped me choose the correct tire size for my wheels. The wheels are 19X9.5 and I didnt want the stretched tire look. As advised I went with 245/40/19 (goodyear) and am very happy with the result.

Before anyone says anything, I dont plan on dropping.
My nex mod will be tinting the taillights, and then installing the 07-08 spoiler.

Nice... Just learn how to embed images in your post....

Man.... Why not drop it? Lol.

A drop+spacers will make that car look HOT (in my opinion).

But hey, your car, you like it, that's all that matters.

Yea i'd do a small drop if anything.. get some springs -- it'll minimize that huge gap between the tires and fenders...

It looks nice. I wish I had that wide of a wheel. What is the offset? How much did the wheels cost you, if you don't mind one asking?

The offset it 42. Not sure if I should put some spacers in the front. I got the wheels brand new in the box for $400 off of craigslist.

Thanks. I wanted to avoid the stretched look as much as possible without rubbing. Actually if I could do it again I would go 255/40/19 since there is still enough room under there to fit this size. Myabe next time.

WOW!!! For $400 brand new??? That is a good price, I think. If I had that wheel, I would go 255/40/19 without a doubt. But, I would probably even go for a 265. The wheel would take it and I can almost be sure it would not rub.

I have the 7thgen wheel which is 19x8 and without a doubt, my next set of tires would be a 255/40/19. But would be a while before I do that as current tires are still in great shape.

What is it that you think doesnt flow well? the fact that they're chrome. Cause wheel design wise, a lot of members on here have a very similar wheel design on their max. Just curious.

Thanks j2fresh. not really looking to lower because doesnt that actually make your ride worse? I can see it improving your handling but the ride too?

I gotta say someone is selling some H&R springs, all 4 for $150 so I may think about it. Everyone here says drop it lol. I may just give in.

Can anyone do a photoshop of my car lowered. Everyone says drop it, Im curious to see what it would look like dropped.

Why are you begging, lol? You want to see if the 275 would fit? I think it can fit in the back with the right wheel width and offset. What did you want to put this on? What is the width and offset of the rim you had in mind?

Are you going staggered? Because I doubt if 275 would fit in the front. But most probably would fit in the back.

Heres the pic as promised.

The rears, (staggered) were rubbing in the back against the bottom of the fender. I had to move them to the front and they actually fit there just fine (no rubbing). Finally sold them for a good profit. Nice wheels though.

yeah, they rubbed in the back, They would stick out about 1/2 an inch so maybe rolling fenders was in order or a different tire size.

What will work is if you get four fronts
