Will 16" ('98 SE) rims/wheels fit on '92 SE??

Anyone?? It looks like the vehicle came with stock 15" rims (I have R15 tires on), and I LOVE the 98 SE rims (5 big spokes), but I'm pretty sure they are 16" .... are there compatibility issues?? What would I need to do to get the 16" to fit?? How about the lug nuts?? Will they fly?? Need answer asap as there is a set on ebay I am interested in... thx in advance!!!

Yeah theyll fit......look pretty dang good on the 3rd gen in opinion too. I think that the Maxima.org homepage FAQs has a reference to what tire size to use so that the speedo wont be all messed up too.

Be aware that running 225 width tires on the 97-99 SE 5-spokes will cause tire rubbing on some cars.

So, what are these going for?? I really like the look on your car Craig. Hell If I could pony up the $$$ for paint black all over would be the $hit.

they fit yes, but are still too small IMHO. 17's are perfect.

4 gen se alloys on my 3rd gen?

I've seen pics of this before, so they bolt right on, correct offset? I am assuming the 4gen alloys are 16, and (i've never actually looked at my tires on my new-to-me max) that my 3rd gen's wheels are 15". the se alloys from the 4th gen just look so hot. very simple, but very nice.

When I bought my set they came with 225/50 and when turning all the way to the left and while moving it did rub, I then bought 215/55 and no rubbage after that. Good upgrade from the stockers.
