Hmmmmmm.... Will this wheel size fit?
In 5x100 and 5x4 1/2 with a 40mm offset
The guy swears they'll fit a max but I need to be sure before I go pick them up.
Regarding the topic of offset. Higher the number the further they stick out from beneath the fender or the further they're sunk beneath the fender?

OEM offset is +40mm
Higher the #, the more "tucked in" to the wheelwell the wheel will appear. +38mm -> +40mm works well for most wheels on the Maxima. I have seen people go as far out as +35mm for a slightly wider stance, but it all depends on the wheel you're getting as to whether this will look right. I also wouldn't go over +40mm offset, personally.
I went w/ +40mm offset and I'm pleased with the look of my wheels. I'd go with either 38 or 40 if I were u. Just my .02 cents.

It's 7.5 for the width.
Only problem is now..I had the wheels on backorder for like 3 months and finally they arrived in 18's. I havent been able to pick them up for a week and the dumba.... managed to sell them in the mean time. They have 17's in stock and it will save me money (wheel wise and tire wise) which is a GOOD thing but I had my heart set on 18's and I'm afraid i'll just regret getting the 17's down the road.
Is there really that big of a difference between the two?

I like my 17's for the more cost effective rubber, less likelihood of knocking one out of true on a pothole/roadhazard and for the reasonable compromise between ride comfort and handling.
(But if you decide you gotta go bling bling, not many around here would fault you for it!)

I say go 18's man. Heck, go 19's if you got the money as that is what I want to do
I personally regretted it when I got 17's cause it didn't seem very different from the stockers, the 18s are a better fit and the 19's are a premium fit.
In the end, get 18s! Big difference
