hey im planning on running a 20" rim on my 99 i30 and my question is what would be the ideal offset and tire size? btw im going to be running k sport coilovers if that helps...


TIA

Greg

 

I have a 95 maxima and I have had my 20's for about 2 weeks now and theres just a little rubbing when turning the wheels all the way left and right.
And I lowered it about 1.50" with tein springs and everything fits nice. The wheels are 20 by 8.5 and my tires are 245/35/20, I talked to a few people that had there 20's for a while and they said that 255/35/20 were too wide and rubbed the inside wheel well. Heres some new pics to see how they fit.

 

love em man! slick

 

ahh why 20's??

 

Whats wrong with 20's?

 

nothing, great laughing material

 

def great laughing material

 

do you guys think your driving race cars or something? these are MAXIMAS dammit, not 350's those 20's on dude car look a 100% better than those black winter lookin rims up there ^^^^ ha now thats laughing material

 

Well I was running 20in Spora Estradas on low profile toyo 245/35ZR 20 proxies 4 tires. They were cool but it severely decreased my gas mileage and knocked of my alignment. I ran them on stock springs and shocks and had no rub. The rims had a 2in deep dish lip. Really cool but 20's are practical on maximas.

I say run 19's since the car is already lowered 1.50mm

 

dude i no the 4 th gen is a lil different than 5th but GO 20's I put 20's on my 5th gen with a 1.8 drop in the front and 1.5 in the rear looks effin awsome..ride sux a lil compared to stock but worth it...My moto Go BIG OR GO HOME...I running 245/35/20 On Nitto's--20's on a Max is the way to go 4 door sedan...

 

20s only look good on a 6th gen

 

Because like most people with a 4 door family car I'm not worried about my time in a 1/4 mile! Now thats laughing material

 

So true if you want a speed demon buy a street/strip car not a 4 door luxury sports car that gets almost 30 MPG

 

you obviously think that a maxima is an escalade or a bentley.

 

no. we just dont happen to have enough aftermarket support for a lift kit to fit 32" yet. hopefully one day. it makes our ***** much much bigger.

 

to be honest, those rims in post 2 are just about the worst rims to put on a maxima. not only are they 20s, but they are chrome. now, some rims can get away with chrome on the max, but i think it has a lot to do with surface area. and with the surface area on those rims, it is just completely

 

Those twentys look aweful to tell you the true.... and you cant even talk guy cuz your bimmers rims are retarded their gold haha

 

if you want to see a maxima on DUBZ holla at my page this puts those other two to shame if you dont like the full face rims. full face rims + maxima = is just wrong

the colored pics are B4 i lowered it the Black and white pics are after KYB/AGX and eibach pros

to each his own. i personally like Dubs on a max, hell i used to have a set.

 

I give you props on the color, but open rims + stock rotors = is just wrong. The 20's I got was a deal that was just too good to pass up. I don't know about were everyone else is from but on the west coast riding big and on chrome thats all that matters in floss angles.

 

Here some pics from an all nissan meet in feb, all ths maximas in the pic have 20's on them. Well not the black 6th gen it has 19's

 

so it maybe off topic a little, how do u guy feel after putting 20" wheel on? those thing I think at least 35lbs or more, in term of gas efficiency and accelaration (like having 3 or more people in your car)?

 

So far the 20's ride smoother than the 18's did. but I can't chirp the tires anymore from a dead stop, and I could with no problem with the 18's on but I need to upgrade the breaks, so I'm shopping around for all four rotors and better calipers up front. No change in gas miles really, and a car full of people just the breaks are the only concern. I got a cai already and I plan on gettin headers, y pipe and the full cat, hopefully all by this summer.
