2xx/35/20.

20's are way too big for this car though, I urge you to reconsider.

Are you planning to put a lift kit on your max. The oem tire size for the car is 205/ 65 /15 I have 18's but couldn't imagine going to 20" and even when you go to a larger rim you still need to reseach your tire size so you don't throw off your speedometer for example if you wanted to go 18's and keep a normal speedometer reading you would put 225/ 40/ 18.

Where are the pics of the said rims? 20 inch rims will probably crack within a 6month period if your lucky...I'd sell the 20's and get some 17x8's or 16x8's.

don't you wish there was a section to discuss tires and wheels...
oh wait...there it is -> http://forums.maxima.org/tires-wheels-53/

don't you wish there was a tool to figure out what tire size to use...
oh wait...it's here -> http://forums.maxima.org/tires-wheel...nstration.html

the tire size that fits is 235-30-20...i assume the rim is 8" or wider.

its a rubber band...

just gonna say it, 3rd gens dont often look good on anything larger than 17s. goes for most older cars, ive always thought 80s and 90s sedans look best on 15s

This is true...I went with a 16x8, a little height and a bit of width. I have Toyo Proxes 225/50/16's and they fit perfectly...the odo is barely off but I have a digi dash and portable GPS that 'm clocking odo.

I went with 17s off of a 05 and they are very close to rubbing. The tires that came on them actually did rub but I put on new since and they are fine. Don't remember size but I can check if someone would like.
