sup,

i've got a 00Maxima SE. with Tokico gas struts in front and Eibach 1.3" drop coils in front, and 1.0" drop in rear. Stillen front strut tower, and front and rear sway bars.

i'm an aggressive driver a couple times a week, but i don't race :-)

i'm running the Stillen 4 Piston Big Brake Kit.

MY QUESTION IS:

Is anybody running a staggard setup with an 18x8 front and 19x9.5 rear?If so, what are your offsets?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I was told by stillen that a 19x9.5 is "too aggressive"...LOL. they assumed that they were talking to someone that doesn't do their research b4 they buy, or someone that would settle for something that they don't really want. However, i have seen 00-02 maxima's that are running a 19x9.5 rear rim, and i know it can be done...i just may have to roll my fender lip, which is no problem at all

how do i get this rim in a 19X9.5 running NITTO Neogen 265 30 19 in the rear...with the perfect offset to at the edge of the fender? what offset do I need, or how do i measure it myself? is there maybe a local shop that has the tool to bolt on and measure everything for me?

<p>

i would love to go with a different rim from TSW...I like the Thruxton!

20x10 5" polished lip with +42mm offset (rear)18x8 2.75" polished lip with +35mm offset (front)

this rim should clear my AP Stillen BBk w/ 13" rotors and 4 piston callipers if i use the perfect spacers, and I finally get to roll my fender lips all the way around
