They're 24's I believe. Although I am aware that it is a 4th gen.

I saw a 5th gen with 20's and it looked ok, there was hardly any gap, but it was stock height. You probably won't be able to lower it much.
Word to the wise though... with 20's you're probably gonna have to run a 30 or 35 series tire, which, is gonna give you a harsher ride, and God help you if you accidentally hit a pothole or road-plate, cuz you may bend the rim. Just sayin...

Anything bigger than 19s on a 5th gen will look out of place. Just get yourself some 18s or 19s.

20"s a god look

just as long as your not racing it i think 20"s will be fine.
im actually contemplating whether i go with 22"s or 20"s
right now its up in the air and smack dab in the middle
well maybe I'm leaning more to the 22"s only because i've
seen a couple that i love,,,LOVE -but 20"s will be fine
just lower it on them and your wheel well wont look so BIG.
you have to understand that this is more of a tuner site
geared to D.I.E hard MAXIMA FANS that wanna see a certain
racing look, plus BIG rims are sorta played out, as is the racing
scene but you can't tell that to everybody.
BottomLine:
Your car is your own, you are the one thats going to be caught driving it either on a daily basis or just weekends so make sure you can appreciate what you've created and take pride of course & enjoy driving your whip till the wheels fall off. Love what you LOVE... MAXIMA-HOLLA

20s aren't that big, don't know why people act like you're riding on ferris wheels, and I still get a fairly decent ride in my opinion.
