What's your opinion of the best 15", 16" and 17" OEM wheels and/or aftermarket wheels that would supplement the timeless looks of the 3rd gen Maxima with the maximum budget price of $1200 (including tires). How do you feel about the 16" off from the 98 Infiniti I30T onto the Max?

 

For OEM, I always wondered if the 16" wheels from the '87 - '89 300ZX would fit. The design is very similar to the SE wheels, but are larger.

Otherwise, the 4th gen SE wheels look nice for a more up to date look.

 

Mustang Cobra wheels on a Maxima...not sure what year exactly but they are the ones Skymax has on his car, they look really nice!

 

Both sounds good, yeah the 300ZX would look nice, a friend of mine has those sets, wonder if he would be kind enough to let me check if they would fit w/o rubbing. As for the Mustang wheels, definitely looks good on the Max but I wonder if you need adjustments to accomodate those wheels.

 

the mustang wheel will fit as long as they are 5 lug one of the 94 up. the old 87-89 zx wheel would look good but you definatly wanna test fit them especially in the rear. as far as aftermarket personally i like simple clean looking wheels. but hey that is just my opinion. current favorites are the enkie rpm-2, at-italia(atp) flash sport, mht v-10.

Thanks, one quick thing, if you opt with the Mustang wheels does anyone know where you can get a nissan centercap to replace the Mustang logo?

 

Actually, the rims on SkyMax's car are Eagle 077's...they look very similar to the Cobras, but the Cobras are 17x9, and the Eagle 077's are 17x8...I was going to get them but at the last minute I got a set of 18 inch TSW Trophys.....If you want to keep your car with the 15 inch rims...I might be selling my ROH reflex rims...they look great on my car, I just wanted something bigger, I could sell them to you, it would fit you budget also.....

 

i like the 97-99 se maxima 5 star rims on a 3rd gen. maybe one day i'll get some. i also like the looks of the konig monsoons.

 

Quick question to anyone, would you have to change the tire size into 225/45/17 if you get the 5th generation 17" SE wheels or would the original tire size be ok w/o rubbing. Thanks.

 

But probably reccomended if you would like to keep the speedometer readings as close as possible to stock. Changing the overall turning diameter of the wheel + tire would throw the readings slightly off.
A 50 series tire would not cause rubbing, the sidewall would just be higher and the overall diameter would be bigger accordingly.
