Yea, I haven't made up my mind yet on the XXR's. I got a REALLY good deal on them, thats the only reason they are on it. I think they will look much better when I get rid of the stupid white pin stripes and get some clears... I may end up trading for some g35-350z wheels, not sure yet.
Post pics once it's lowered!

Sup Krazy,
I found these on Craigslist... They are Brand New Wheels and Tires. The guy bought them for his lowered EVO but ordered them too wide for his wells. They are 18 x 9.5 rims and the tires are 265/35/18.
I installed the AGX Struts/Eibach Springs the other day and haven't taken any pics yet. The only downfall with the wheels being that wide is I can't slam the car like I'd want to. I will post some pics in a day or two.

at all of this. Max Ride has the stockest Maxima ever, stock height stock 5th gen wheels, stock paint stock motor.I'd just like to point out the following.
1) You want black instead of white, so do what you want
2) Extra cash leftover, as you already stated you wanna do a 3.5 swap. A high mileage shell lasts forever if it has no rust anyways. Low mile 3.5 swap = win.
3) Your black car is looking SICK. What are the specs on those wheels? The Ground Control/AGX suspension is a great setup too.
4) If you're throwing a bunch of mods at a car, mileage doesn't matter as much. Toss the old suspension, old exhaust, old motor etc and you'll realize you just got a good deal on a black shell.
...still
ing at your wheels.

At first I was shaking my head at this thread, thinking this guy was an idiot for selling such a low mileage car to buy practically the same one with higher miles because he didn't like the color. But then I saw the car you bought and what you're doing to it and damn. Not bad OP! I would've never guessed the new one you got has 180k on it, it looks like it's in great shape. If I were you, I would've parted out your old one to stock before selling it to squeeze a little more cash out of it but what's done is done. Best of luck with your new car and I agree with the others here, do a low-mileage 3.5 swap.

yeah def get pics up... thats a huge frigin wheel... i was thinking you just got them with the wrong offset but it looks like you didnt have a choice! you ought to do us a favor and pull one off and weigh it... XXR's are pretty heavy if i recall correctly! and a 9.5! sheesh... did you notice it being slower off the line now?
Well, I haven't taken this one to the track yet, and yes I imagine I lost some off the line, however I did gain some awesome cornering!

ing at your wheels.Thanks! They are 18 x 9.5 and have a 3.5" lip... The back fit perfect, the front would be better at 8.5 instead of 9.5, but like I said, I got a great deal on them.
As far as the car goes, I feel like I got an Excellent Deal ($2600) in really good condition and LOADED! It even had a Nissan Oil Filter on it when I bought it.

nice old car.. love the interior.
new car = FTW
Red wheels = FTW / Offsets = FTL
Will the front not RUB?
and all the people that were knocking him leave the guy be. I can understand the $$ warrants him selling it to pocket some money. and + hes right about paint. I would never change the color of my car unless it was atleast a semi strip and paint. Like they take the car apart and paint all of it. which is a very expensive paint job.

I actually thought it would rub when I turn my wheels, luckily it does not.
I will put some pics up later today showing how she sits after springs...

wrong dude, its lowered, the paint is almost flawless, ( and a rare color, bm1 blue ) and those wheels were stock on a 5th gen. motor has 210,000 now and i am constantly tuning and doing work to it. i just did and oil change with treatment and a fuel filter, getting ready to do a cai or short ram, i also spent a ton of time cleaning out the intake and throttle body and im doing spacers soon. also have warpspeed y with monza catback which ill change in the spring to cattman. i know it looks stock, but im not into lip kits or a big drop. she handles great with the kyb-gr2's and maxspeed springs. not everyone wants to look like everyone else, my max is 1 of a kind, never seen 1 look like her.

Their are a lot of different reasons the mileage is low.
My 1991 Truck has 51k, its low because its a 2nd vehicle and it was down for 3 years with a cracked piston.
My wifes SUV has been getting low mileage the last 5 years because her last two jobs have been 3 miles and 0 mile commutes, prior to that it was driven 13-14K miles/year. I drive it every week but it mostly around town.
