Do you have any problems with anything...in looking at 19by8.5 should everything be ok thanks

you shouldn't have a problem if you have the right offset. i've got 17x9.5's w/ 265/40/17's (sorry, i don't know the offset) and i did have some interference with the rear springs, but i put a spacer on and it's perfect now. as far as the front, i do rub at a FULL turn, but if i turn the steering wheel just a little bit back, i don't get any rubbing.
if you're going with 8.5" rims you shouldn't have any of these problems...with the right offset.
good luck

Hey, just a thought. Try to stay away from rims that big and wide. First off, the tires will be very expensive. Secondly, it will severely slow you down off the line and in any type of acceleration issue. Stock Maximas don't put out enough power to the wheels to get those things moving.

8.5 is very wide. By just reducing the size by 1/2, or and inch, you'll lighten up the wheel/tire combo significantly, and I think you'll enjoy the benifits you get from a slightly narrower tire too.

Actually as far as cost, larger tires aren't that much more expensive than any good stock size tire. I can get 265 kumho's for about $150. If i went down to 225, they shouldn't be much more than $110 each. Nitto 555's are only a litte more than kumho's too. so as far as cost, they aren't that expensive. as far as acceleration, i haven't tried to time my max either before or after my new rims, but i will tell you that i get a lot less wheel spin and the car grabs a lot better.
