FS: 1 month old HP Lightning wheels and tires. 56K beware!! Price Drop

Price Drop: $900 plus shipping.. Need garage space.

Quick Spec:
HP Lightning wheels
Fronts: 18X8 (2.5" Lip) +38 with 245/45R18 Dunlop Sport Maxx Tires
Rears: 18X9 (3" Lip) +38 with 275/40R18 Falken FK452 Tires

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed Description:
I have for sale a set of HP Lightning wheels. They are about a month old so still pretty new. I bought this set Brand New for $1600. Had them on my car but decided to go for a different set so now they are for sale. Front tires are Dunlops and rear tires are Falkens. Reason for different brand tires is they were out of stock of the Falken tires for the fronts so had to go with different brand. Thread design/pattern is the same though as you can see from the pics. One small curb check on rear passenger wheel. Bareley visible. It is circled on the 5th picture down. Here are the specs.

Wheels: HP Lightning wheels (Staggered Fitment)
Size: 18X8 (2.5" Lip) Fronts +38 offset
18X9 (3" Lip) Rears +38 offset
Bolt Pattern: 5X114.3 or 5X4.5
Color: Hyper Silver Dark. These the the dark version of the normal silver ones.

Tires: These are not those cheap Kumhos, Nexen, or Federal tires. These are actual Name Brand high performance tires. These tires have plenty of meat still on them. As you can see from the pics, tires were barely driven but you guys be the judge based on the pictures below. I've provided lots of pics of thread depth below.
Front: Dunlop SP Sport Maxx Ultra High Performance Tires size 245/45R18
Rear: Falken FK452 Ultra High Performance Tires size 275/40R18

If you live up north and want these, please do not use them for winter driving since these are summer tires and have horrible snow traction.

Price is $1200 plus shipping and 2.9% paypal fee. PM me or email me at mclee45@hotmail.com if interested. Pickup is also welcome in Houston area.

front wheels fit perfectly. you will have to roll your rear fenders for 5th gens to prevent rubbing.

Sorry Mclee, you lost me. What do you mean by you have to "roll your fenders" to prevent rubbing. And is this the case only with a dropped car?
Thanx.

my maxima had H&R springs on them. the rear wheel well will need to be rolled to prevent rubbing with the tires. Shop here in Houston does it for $50 to roll the rear fenders. Rolling your fenders is just bending the inside part of your fenders to not rub against the tires. Doesnt affect the looks of your car outside at all. Its body work inside the wheel well. I dunno if the rear wheels will rub on a non-dropped car.. probably not but only way to find out is to test it. Its not necessary to roll fenders on dropped cars. Only if the aftermarket wheels and tires are very wide.

they fill up the wheel well nicely and makes the ride much softer since its already harsh with the H&R springs.
