better pics

KenSR20 · 12-10-2008, 06:21 PM

looks good doesn't seem to be too big of a camber either if so not noticeable.. How much of a fender roll or pull u think this requires?

Unique · 12-10-2008, 06:34 PM

thats with the rear inner lips rolled and slighty pulled its not even noticeable.

obarrera · 12-11-2008, 07:51 PM

Shit, I forgot I made this thread

Here's the set up I think im gonna go with, 18X9.5 all around with 50mm spacers for the rears, and 25mm spacers on front, what do you all think about these spacers, these are the only ones i've seen, I can't find 50mm spacers anywhere else!eBay Motors: 4x114.3 50mm WHEEL ADAPTERS SPACERS ALTIMA 240SX SENTRA (item 250341752434 end time Dec-18-08 17:48:30 PST)

Im finally gonna order the wheels next week hopefully, the spacers, new tires, etc, I'll post pics when I get my set up finished

unlegendary · 12-11-2008, 08:19 PM

alright Obarrera, I know your probably stoked about getting your first new set of wheels but please do not be one of those guys that resell their wheels just because they found out that they did not do enough research and sell their wheels for only 1/4 of what they paid for.

I do not know why this thread was made, there is a somewhat controlled thread on wheel fitment and it is a stickied thread. Hell, go to the for sale section and see what people are running and I can guarantee that 50mm spacers are NOT needed to be flush. The only reason that I see spacers are needed is for miscalculations in future setups such as buying BBKs or a set from Z32s.

Here to make sure I am not the expert here obarrera, go to your local aftermarket car business maybe such as Speed Alliance, Sinful Enhancements, and maybe even High End Performance and ask for their suggestions of wheels for the best price (wheels that will not get cracked when accidentally going through a pot hole), tires, tire sizes, whatever, and include if you wanted to buy BBKs in the future if you do not already have any or something that clear Z32s.

obarrera · 12-11-2008, 08:42 PM

I already have Sportmaxes, and im happy with them, but they're 17's, in silver, I want 18's in gold, I have never had any problems with them, gone trhough pot holes, no cracks, I even went over a big ass rock one day on the freeway, nothing happened to the wheel, I don't see why I would be selling them. Deep dish wheels are ridiculously pricey, and I'd rather spend a few hundred on 962's, and spend the rest on my engine, then spend thousands on a set of wheels.
If YOU don't like sportmaxes, it's cool, I respect your decision, but I really like the look of them, the only reason why I considered getting other wheels is because of the width, but im cool with a 9.5 wheel..
And im not buying the spacers for them to be flush, my rears almost look flush right now with NO spacers at all, and they're only 9" wide, I know 50mm spacers are not needed for this. I just want them to stick out and pull & roll the fenders.

*wh0aitznic0* · 12-22-2008, 08:22 PM

I have 962's 17x9 with 20mm spacers up front and 18x9.5 with 25mm spacers in the back. Would I need to trim my stock studs a few threads to not smack the wheel's center portion when I put them on ?

1slowS13 · 12-22-2008, 09:04 PM

^yes

but if you go 25mm around, you only need to trim the rear..

for my car, the rear studs stuck out more than the front.. mearsure them if you have to!

95 maxima se · 12-22-2008, 10:31 PM

i made my choice in rims now thanx you guyz!! sexy cars

repda916 · 12-24-2008, 03:26 AM

so if i was to put these rims on my stock coupe, i would need 25mm spacers, leave the front studs, and cut the rear ones?

just get >35mm spacers.

you wont be close to flush with anything less anyways.

Thanks. So if I get a 5mm sandwich for my front to make it effective 25mm spacer and two 5mm sandwich spacers in this order (hub>sandwich>bolt-in>sandwich>wheel) to make it 35mm, I won't need to trim my studs ? It's just that I'm not a fan of burning bridges that's all. Still on factory studs as far as I know.

iLagX · 12-25-2008, 10:46 PM

Here is my set up.
225/40-18 all around.

S13shaka · 12-26-2008, 07:15 AM

Eastside DriFto · 12-26-2008, 07:30 AM

S14TEENZ · 01-07-2009, 01:07 PM

jus for street.

*Slideways^Jordan* · 01-07-2009, 01:25 PM

I really like the sportmax series of rims dont get me wrong here!!! but their not really all that great with the offsets and staggered size combo. But that's just my opinion I would definatly rock them if i only had around 400 bux to spend on wheels but this is what I rock... Gramlight 57d Pro luminous yellow son.

actually, they'll clear
by looking at the url of that pic, it says its 25mil spacers
iirc, with 15mm, they dont clear
but with 20 nd up, they clear

Matej · 09-14-2009, 08:43 PM

4-lug, Megan Street coilovers, whatever camber I got after lowering the car, and whatever the cheapest tires I found were.

gsxr141 · 09-14-2009, 08:56 PM

18x9.5 and 18x7.5 with 265/35's and 225/40's. lowered on tein basics with a little more room to go. rear camber is roughly -4. next time i'll go with at least a 8.5 up front, and 25mm spacers all around.

Matej · 09-14-2009, 09:21 PM

In those pictures, I believe I had one bottom collar removed all around. And I adjusted the camber plates to as negative as they go.
