What are the Correct wheels for my '97 SE

Hello,
I just bought a '97 Maxima SE. I don't think it has the correct wheels on it though. It has the 15" "Blade" style wheels, but when I looked at the plate under the arm rest it said the Tires should be 215 55 R16. This tells me it should have 16" wheels. I have found plenty of wheels online and from what I can tell most of the Maxima's have the same bolt pattern but I was wondering what wheels should have come with this car from the factory? Bolt Pattern, Style, and size and about how much can I expect to pay for a set of 4?

Thanks Alot,


New Maxima Owner

95-96 SE Maximas had the sawblades you say are on your car. 97-99 have the 5-spoke rims. Maybe the previous owner changed them? Dont know why someone would do that but who knows.

YOu sure you have a 97?

Yep, Checked it out earlier today. It has a '97 Manual and the Manufacturer date is 9/96. So I need to look for 16" 5 spoke or maybe another 16" with the same bolt pattern. What is the bolt pattern for my car?

2k2-2k3 17x7 wheels are easy to pick up and look hot on the 4th gen, smidge wider too.

yeah, but they're heavy....

get aftermarket wheels that are light, it'll be the easiest performance mod you do.
