they're 17x8. they have new kumho 235 45's on em. . . i wasn't sure if we could fit a 8" rim. . . thanks

 

 

just because your name says "maxima brainwashed" and not "newbie" doesn't mean you can't use the search too

I think they should work, especially if they fit his 4th gen
here's what Mr Rose said about mustang rims which are 17x8
"All 1994-2001 stock Stang rims are the same offset (30mm-32mm), rim width(17X8), bolt pattern(5X114.3mm), and hub BORE. You will not have a mounting problem or clearance problem. Tire brands may vary according to your preference, but one thing is a FACT. According to ME and Jeff92SE of the 3rdGen BBS, a 235/45/17 is the right size tire for the lowered 3rd Gen MAXIMA. The 235/45/17 will let you be a bit more aggressive driver, and be a bit more responsive. An upgrade to a 245/45/17 is possible and stock equipment for a 94-2001 Mustang wheel. The original surcumfrence of the stock 205/65/15 found on 3rd Gen MAXIMAs is closer to the 235/45/17 size. A 245/45/17 has the possibility of rubbing the the fenders of the MAXIMA during hard cornering; for all you drivers in a hurry.
I personally have a 245/45/17 with an EIBACH prokit spring, TOKICO blues, (4 years old) and stock original suspension otherwise. I have not rubbed a fender or anything else in my spirited driving. My car has been loaded with 4 people and that made the side wall touch the rear inner fender flare ever so lightly on a few dips that I forgot to dodge."

 

dayumn 245's, i don't think those are gonna fit with my suspension i'll stick with the 235's. . thanks man

 

is phil sellin you his rims? that looks like his car. damn dude, did you rob a bank or something? your gettin new stuff every day!

 

every 3 months i get a nice check actually he sold em to dex. dex put new rubber on em and now wants 18's. . . .

 

i always liked those wheels. theyll look sweet on a 3rd gen!

 

After a lot of reading and discussion I came to the conclusion that 17" rims running 235 width tires should have 35-30mm offset to clear properly. Mr.Rose got Subzeros (45mm offset) with those same tires and he had bad rubbing probs and needed wheel spacers. Strangely James got 225's with those and he says everything's fine. Beware of rims that fit the 4th Gens perfectly since they're more tolerant of high-offset wheels than our 3rd Gens are. Find out that wheel's offset before you buy. It helps that the tires are Kumhos though, since I don't think they have a "rim protector" on them.
