damn man this sucks , Would it be better just selling them on ebay ? Then trying to do the 5 lug conversion? the rim is 18 inches , And then the tires are low profile tires.

they are 5 lug it just has 10 lug holes because of the 2 diff car 5 lug offsets, now there is a solution to this......5 lug comversion....check the stickies, although they look as they would rubb you might wanna also roll those fenders

The 5 lug conversion isn't too hard to do. You will need to get parts from a 1991 maxima that had rear disc brakes(to make it easier) The sticky will guide you through the rest. It took me about 8 hours to do after I had gotten the parts, with little mods here and there.225 will definitely rub when you hit bumps in the road, or are carrying a heavy load. You will have to roll the insides of the fenders(front and back) in order to stop the rubbing. If they are 19" tires, you may not be able to lower the car to not make it look like a 4x4. .

You will rub with those size tires with the 5-lug conversion. I'm running 215/35/18 with no rub.

I would probably say sell them. Get some good money and buy some that will fit the 4 lug pattern. It seems like you could get a nice amount for these rims. Im thinking 1k would be a good sale for these rims. since they are coming with tires already mounted. Dont forget about shipping costs.

what do you mean when you say the wheels are 19.5" s? Do you think the wheels are 19s and they have 18" tires? Why did you buy wheels that are not the same lug pattern as your car?

I tell ya if you did have the five lug with that pic you posted, they actually wouldve looked kinda nice. But its all good. There are better rims out there that will fit the ride anyway. Sell them jokers.

ahh, the wonderful memories

DJ: for the swap you will need the suspension and brakes from around a 1991 year GXE maxima(the ones with rear disc brakes) For the rear, they are pretty much a direct fit into the 2nd gen, the only thing you need to do is to remove the top boot(the one with the 3 screws on top. where you would put a rear strut bar if there was one for the car) from yours and put it on the 3rd gen struts. For the calipers, I had to adjust the parking brake line tension and route the brake line so it would connect correctly. The front is a bit trickier. I think sarin can help you with that one.

No don't use GXE parts. GXE's have drum brakes, it won't work. Use specifically all 89-91 SE or all 92-94 SE parts for the rear. 92-94 will require changing the parking brake cables.
