hey, I haven't actually bought my maxima yet, and I'm not too sure on the bolt pattern of the wheels. I am about to buy a set of wheels and was wondering if you guys could let me know if they will fit. (bolt pattern and tire size). Thanks in advance for your help.

17x7 Gunmetal with Polished Lip .
5x114.3 and 5x100 bolt pattern
BRAND NEW -Bridgestone Potenza RE040 - 215/45/17

thanks, -Jon

 

the bolt pattern u want is 5x114.3. as for tire size, you'd probably want at least a 225. 4th gen'ers will know what size...

 

The bolt pattern is correct. I agree that on a 7" wide rim, you should go with a 225 width tire.
Make sure about the offset. Stock 4th gen uses 40mm offset. You should try and stay between 38 & 42 offset. You could get away with 35-45 offset, but you risk ruining your wheel bearings.
Good luck

 

check MAXFAQS.....

Actually, according to the manual, the stock offset is 45 with the alloys (15x6.5 and 16x6.5) and 40 with the steelies. (15x6)

 

What year Maxima manual are you looking at?

 

98. The 96 and 99 I30 manuals say the same thing.

 

The proper offset depends on the width of the wheel. An 8.5" wheel on a maxima will need to be of a different offset than a 7" wheel.
