I know 114.3 isn't the offset. 5 x 114.3 is the bolt pattern. 114.3 is either the space between each stud or across from one to the other, in milimeters. I think the offset is around 30. If you call up nissan they could do some diggin for ya. Just be nice. Lata

the stoc 240 wheels will fit, but the offsets on aftermarket ones will be iffy. if you go wider than 7", your offsets for the fronts are off. the 240 requires a 25mm offset I believe, and the max needs a 35.

Any particular reason you can't just try? I mean you have both cars right there.

If the 240 wheels are 5 lug and stock, they should fit fine. If they are aftermarket, all bets are off.

The 3-gen on a 8" rim can tolerate as low as 30mm offset. Maybe a tad more if you use no wider than a 235 width rim.

yeah, but the s14 wheels are a lot better than the stock sawblades. Probably cheaper too (if you can find a set).

Is this why my "label" has changed? I realise the 7 spoke are 4 lug and we have 5 lug. That would make it a hard conversion but not impossible.

why would you want to convert your entire car to 4-lug for a set of crappy s13 wheels, which are the 4-lug equivalent of the 89-94 Maxima GXE wheels?

consider it impossible, because no one in their right mind would want to do it.

5-lug wheels that actually fit our car are readily available in large quantities and an abundant variety of designs.

Ah yes, the ever popular 5 lug to 4 lug conversion. Actually it's very possible.

Exactly, and whoever said I was in my right mind?






Of course I'm kidding, I may be insane but Honda rims on a Maxima, that's just bad taste. Mostly it's the "label" that bothers me. I've sifted through the faq fragments, as unorganized as they are and taken what I can remember. My "label" is unjustified though since I was informed of what I was asking.
