i dont know about the rimes, but there are about 4 companies, maybe more that build body kits, but i think the majority think the stillen kit looks the best.

Interesting trend going on here.....

first people ask about 17" rims, then someone asked about 18" rims a couple weeks ago, now someone's asking about 19" rims!
Talk about arms racing!! Next will be about how much fender rolling is needed to put on industrial earth-mover wheels

I was told that 19's wouldnt fit on our Maximas but Ill will say that I saw and Met a guy that had 20 inch chrome rims on his Maxima. So you go figure. He did do some cuttin though. But I will also say that it was hella High. Like a damn 4x4 or something so I thought that it was ugly but to each his own.

Umm, someone tell me if I'm missing something here, but won't 19 or 20" wheels fit as long as they're less than 8" wide and has the right size tires? Like how 205/65 15" and 215/55 16" and 235/45 17" are all basically the same overall diameter? (235 is as wide as you can go with the right offset wheel) What's wrong with fitting 235/30 20"? Every time someone "plus sizes" their wheel/tire combo they always retain the same overall diameter and never exceeds (whatever) maximum tire width....

Let's see....19's, yup they'll fit!! I've got a friend that has 19x9's on his 3rd gen with a 2" drop . But, and there's always a but, BE CAREFUL of the rim that you choose.

Thanks , but if i decide to put 19's on what size tire should i use?
If i buy 18's would 225/40/18 be ok?

Uhh... no offense... but WHY would you WANT 19 or 20 inch rims on a Maxima??????????

1) They are TOO big to "help with handling"

2) They are HEAVY so your car will be quite a bit slower

3) With such low profile tire you have to be VERY careful not to hit any potholes or anything else in the road because you will bend your rims. I've had buddies of mine bend 17 inch rims even...

I just don't see the point... especially considering the cost of those type of wheels... IMHO 16 or 17 inch wheels are perfect for most cars.

Just my opinion,

They want to be that slow, how else can people see their phat rimzz when they drive by?

Well, I hope those 19 or 20" wheels are just for show, because of the reasons Brian mentioned, but if you're looking for tire sizes use this to get some idea: Miata.net Tiresize Calculator
