Mustang wheels fit. A couple of people have the 17x8 Mustang rims. Do a search, there are tons of pics. Just don't get the 17x9 rims, they Don't fit.

I personally like 1997 and above 5 spoke SE rims, I don't know if they fit, but I know that they would look sweet.

I know they are the exact same lug pattern and stock tire size as the 92-94 SE Maxima's.

Hey matt, i dont think that the thunderbird and tarus wheels will fit. I have those wheels from my 97SC and they dont fit my max. I think the bolt patterns were 5 x 114 instead of 5 x 108 ( or something like that.) Charles

charles, you sure about that? (Max wheels are 5 x 144.3, btw)..


but I could have sworn I saw some SHO "slicer" wheels on a max a couple of weeks ago.

Positive, the 89-97 (or 98) t-birds have a 5x108 bolt pattern we have the 5x114 (114.3 ). They dont bolt up. I tried. The same wheels that fit the thunderbird are the volvo's, tarus/sable, and some of the mini vans....it was a pain to find wheels for the SC.American racing made a wheel that looked just like the SHO wheel that i was looking at for the SC, it might of been that one, Charles.

I checked into this once too - the Taurus has a different bolt pattern (maybe 5x115?).

As for the Accord rims fitting, that also depends on the hub bore. Our cars have 66.1mm hub bore, but if the Accord has a smaller bore the rim won't sit properly. Just like how we can't take our rims and stick them on a Mustang, even though it works the other way around.

Any Toyota/Lexus wheel will have a too small of hub bore that would require machining to get it to work on a Nissan.

I had a chance to look at some R34 18s up close and personal. The way they are set, it might fit. But the snooty owner didn't know the specs.

Yes. So was every other spec other than the wheel width for the SE's (6" wheel GXE, 6.5" SE).

The 240SX five spoke 16s are a low cost straight swap, same with the Z31 Turbo 16s.
