I guess the title explains it all, I just wanted to see what the actual Maxima community thought about it. The only modification I had to make them fit was shae like 1 or 2mm of the front caliper brackets. anyway on to some pics let if u guys have any questions let me know I have a lot of plans for this car problem is that its not my only project lol. Sorry for the big *** pics I cant change the size on them as im doing everything thru my phone.

Well, I like them. They are not "wow"...... but look nice. Maybe if they were bigger, look like 15's. Im sure they are bigger, just looks small and would look better running something bigger. I'd definitely run them for winter wheels. Tires sit good on there.

The wheels are 16"s I had 18"s on it but im not one for big wheels. Im thinking powder coating these in the summer and using some small spacers for the back and maybe lower it about another half inch.

One of the only pics I have with the 18"s

Fond another pic with the 18s on.

Actually, to me, they look better than I expected they would. I have always been a "bigger tire" guy and really don't care for these low profile tires. Is there anything you can do for center caps?

Well I have to admit I was expecting it to look rediculous before I viewed the thread but I have to admit they don't look all that bad. I'm kind of surprised Ford uses the same bolt pattern as Nissan.

I like the look. I think they would look better if they were 17's, but I still like it.

Nice, you should keep them white. Spacing looks good

Just want to say thanks for everyone's opinion on it. I personally like the set up with the chunkier tires, I hate low pros especially with the pot hole situation in Northeast PA lol. I have the ford center caps but trust me its definitely a NO to put them on; there super huge in the center and have Ford stamped on them. I constantly get asked if the car is a BMW because of the euro plate or if they are BMW wheels I think its funny

I'm liking those too. I like those better than the aftermarket wheels I'm running. Since Ford uses the same bolt patern, that means the Fusion wheels would swap also. Just thinking outloud.... What size tires do you have on those wheels? I like a meatier tire myself, Ohio roads are always rittled with potholes, especially the secondary roads around where I live.

Interesting. My 18yr old has a Crown Vic with exactly those wheels, and I just got my 16yr a 2002 Maxima. I definitely think you need to come up with a solution for the center caps. Cant you install the Ford ones, but find some kind of Nissan badge to cover the Ford badge? I always liked those wheels on the Crown Vic - plus the extra rubber is a lot more forgiving on the potholed Texas roads too.

Tire size 205/55/R16 im also looking into Mitsubishi Starion wheels idk just a thought right now.

Just remember to shave the caliper brackets in the front if u decide to run these wheels. I personally don't know what the offset is on them but I do know that they lightly scrape the caliper bracket in the front. As for the center caps im trying to find a solution but for now Im not really worried about it considering that its winter right now and they would just get ruined.
