Maxima owners chime in

[blindG35]

I put the 350z 17'' on my maxima today. it looks really good in person. just needs to drop it. any one here had/has a maxima want to share their story.


still searching on maxima.org. too much info and threads to look into, time is short on my hand

here are some before and after pics

Nice pix. Great car too. Those hard to kill. I was trying really hard and no success. Gave it to my cousin he did it in a year

Wow.. the maxima looks so much newer and expensive with the new rims... I love the new maximas. The spoiler and front end on the new 07's are sick.

If that is your cousin in the pic I can understand why.

It was 92 with 170k on the engine (White gages)
Cousin was 18 I believe at that time. So you could not expect much from him.

Looks good, but I always like the 95/96 front end better (prob cause thats what I had ). Has anyone put altima SE-R rims on yet? I bet those would look awesome.

95-96 had the glass headlamps, but the tails were fugly. Plus the odos got tampered with easily. imho 98 was the sweet spot since 99 had the coil pack problems. 2k, as they said, it's all over now baby blue. It's a good 90's car, but shows its age today. In a way I wished the VQ got refined from the 30DE to the 37, seems like it just got more displacement and thirstier!

Yes those are polished 300z 4 piston calipers on 13" cobra rotors. I have a rear bbk on there also but you can't tell unless you measure.

Actually, I always liked the tails better.....it was so hard to find red/clears for my year that I ended up redding the turns out...look pretty nice imho

heres one updated with some photoshop skillz

The 17's look ok, but the 18's would look so much better. Of course a drop would make either setup look better, too...
