fenders are completely rolled in the rear and rubs lightly by myself then with 2 people in the back it rubs pretty hard over bumps lol. and axles are a different story haha, my advice is buy duralast axles just for the lifetime warantee it sounds like someones clunking a hammer under acceleration lol. both axles will be replaced this week though under warantee.

i understand the axles thing... it happened to my 2000 max when i slammed it... i just figured the 5.5 was a tad dif as i haven really messed with mines yet... what is the tire profile?

edit: i just saw u posted the specs... i was gonna go with 35 series tires lol

im going 225/35/18 on a what i think will be a 8.5 width and a 235/35/18 on a 10" rear if i go 9.5 i may go with the 225/35

Not really feeling the red front sidemarkers, but everything else looks amazing.
I agree, no lip needed for you looks clean as hell without it.

www.adapterkings.com do your research before you adapt wheels too a nissan because we have studs not all wheels work the need to have holes or slot in the back for our lug nuts to fit into

I have wheel adapters on my 300ZX. They bolted right up without any problem. I didn't change from the 5x114 bolt pattern though.

Damn, five-spokes with a polished lip looks great on the Max, nice ride! If only my Tracers on the Z would fit, I'd move them over while it's down for turbos/motor

Well I didn't expect 18X10" w/+45 offset to fit properly when they barely cleared the Z w/rolled fenders. Fronts are only 18X8.5. Then again, if I can swap the Max wheels onto the Z it couldn't hurt to try.

Wait, as a long-time car guy I feel a bit dumb asking this but I've never owned a FWD vehicle before. Is it outrageously strange to have 10" wide rear wheels with 8.5" fronts?
