if you find out what size lugnuts the sentra takes I would be able to tell you. I think the maxima is 12mmx1.25 (I could be wrong). And yes 4x4.5 is SAE and the same metric size is 4x114.3

Older Sentras are 4X100mm, but if the rims have two bolt patterns (ie: 8 holes) then the other set might be 4X4.5".

Its a nice upgrade. Well, try and see if you can get them painted silver and get thicker tires and things should be good to go. What size tires are you running? Also, what happened to the car on the back?

40 series tire on a 16" rim? Looks like you have matchbox wheels. You should really have 50 series tires. When you lower your car is still gonna have the 4x4 look....

Fill out the wheel well like so:

Well, all in all, seems like you got progress. Good job. I have 205/45's on my 16's. Cardanas set have 205/50's which I think were alittle thick. Ive actually experienced rubbing with mine on hard turns with people in back. Didnt find out what the deal was until I put two and two together a week ago. Between 45 and 50 series it doesnt do too much of a difference to the speedo. For 150 you cant beat it though. I would suggest going up to 45 series at least. Itll give you more meat on the road and look alittle bit better. Just save up man. Took me a while to get my rims too.

Stock rims aren't that meaty to begin with. They are like 55-60 series tires for these cars.

Just keep in mind that you most likely should upgrade the brakes if and when you go to the larger wheels!
