Thats a well done RS and I love the side splitters! Not sure if they will fit the less aggressive front end of the XKR

 

After looking at that car...Your car might look real good with the XKR-S front splitter from Mina as long as you add the Arden side splitters. It just might work, it seems to really smooth out the lines up front.

In fact, I wouldn't mind a set myself. If you call or email them, can you find out how much they approximately cost, shipped to the U.S.?

 

I'll send them an email this afternoon and let you know as soon as I do.

 

Check with GhostriderXKR08, I think he got his diffuser, splitter, and side skirts from Mina Gallery. They look just like the stock ones that come on the Dynamic Pack.

 

Thank you I will check with him and with Mina.

Has anyone removed the mini mud flaps and had road rash issues? We removed mine for extra tire clearance but was wondering if those tiny flaps actually did anything.

 

The Mina diffuser does look really good, its subtle which is what I'm looking for.

 

Did you put wider tires on?

 

Yes tried 305/30/20s but they slightly rubbed as the car is lowered so I had to go to 295/30/20. I have a pair 305s Michelin Pilot Super Sports if anyone is interested.

 

You want to sell them with your oem wheels?

 

Still thinking about keeping the wheels in case I want to return the car to stock, but I could always find some if the need arises. If someone is interested then I'll consider it.

 

Are you talking about the little fins on the bottom of the front undertray? Those direct air into the brakes for cooling.

 

No the ones on the back of the rear wheel arch.. They stick out about 1/4 inch, I can't see them actually helping but who knows I may just be a bit OCD.

 

Here is a picture I took when I got in the parking deck of my office. Not the best and the car still needs to be detailed later today but at least its in bit of daylight..

 

Looks great MaximA! The wheels really enhance the car and show a lot more brake. I definitely like the charcoal better than black wheels as it gives a bit of contrast. Did you go with the factory offsets? The only thing that might give them a sportier look would be drilled discs but I haven't seen anyone that offers them; however, Spires offers a slotted disc which might look good.

 

Thank you jleuz1! The offsets on this car are tricky and I suggest anyone buying custom wheels have their car measured by someone qualified to do so. I went through two sets of offsets before these were right. The offsets on my wheels are front 45 and rear 40 but that will be quite different if you raise or lower the car from my height.

Slotted rotors would look great, I already have an order in for the Spires coilovers, and might have to add the rotors before they ship in January.

 

Does your coilover upgrade mean the CATS system will be disconected?

 

No thats the beauty of the coilovers from Spires they work with the Adaptive handling system. They are building mine with modified F-Type Dampers and springs 30% firmer than a stock XKR that will plug right into the Adaptive handling system.

 

I don't understand this thread... what the heck is this petition? And where is the Nissan Maxima?

Sweet wheels, though!

 

MaximA is my name and last initial and the petition was for me to post pics of my car with its new wheels which took forever and a day to complete.

 

I thought you owned maxim magazine... what a let down. Good thing you have a car that gives me envy!
