Hey like the wheels, nice choice. How did you do your tail lights in white?

At first I thought they only looked OK, but I like 'em more and more! I think they look much better in person than in pics. Certainly much better than stock '95SE rims. Still, the new '02 Max rims might be a smidge better...(if you are into OEM).

very nice, Mishmosh, how's the ride w/ the 17"'s and did you make any mods to the suspension to fit those rims?
Imagine how those '02 Altima 3.5SE rims would look on my White '98 MaxSE

Nothing needs to be altered. The bolt pattern is the same and the offset is fine. If you have a stock suspension, the wheelgap may make the larger rims look funny though... And hate to say it, but EVERYTHING looks better on a black car!

Hopefully the last guy will get it soon so I can delete that thread. Too long
And it's only 920+ last time I checked.

nice man...i ordered 00 max rims and i know they'll look hot on max cause i've seen them in real life on this black max on rt 22...looked so hot...takes up more space and makes car look a little dropped but so does yours....did you drop your max? or does the space taken my wheel and tire take up that space....dam, didn't know altima rims would look that hot on the max....

Face it, you cant get the dropped look without paying for it, or cutting your stock springs, which is extremely stupid.
The "taking up more space" is an illusion.

see, my stock rims are 15" and have the nice thick tires while my aftermarket rims are 18" but have low profile so they look just about same in size from ground and have like same gap but the stock maxima and altima late modeled rims are bigger than my stock (they are 17") and also have the nice thick tires so they would actually lessen the wheel gap than MY stock rims...we can easily prove this if Mishmosh would tell us if the car was dropped or not cause it's same generation as mine and has away less wheel gap than my car....

That being said, I have H&R/KONI (as listed in my sig). I like this combo although the two max's I have seen with H&R/Tokiko seemed to have slightly lower (but noticeable) drop than me. Don't know why... Although not cheap, getting new springs/shocks is one of the best handling mods out there (yes, better than FSTB and RSB) and it looks so much better too.
Mecc, the 225/50R17 tires you will be getting makes the overall diameter slightly larger than stock, so wheelgap may be smaller by a hair but it is still there big time...

Actually, I found Red/Clear tails for the Max from APC for sale from www.NOPI.com for about $150+.
