I think they would look great! (As long as your max is dropped) If not, get to cracking on that real quick after you buy the rims!!

Won't 235 be too much for a 7" rim? The only reasons I wouldn't get the dl46's is cause they are skinny, 7", and they probably aren't light either.

here is a really bad photoshop of my 18's in gunmetal. i would love to powdercoat then gunmetal bu there are other things i want to spend the money on first.




the rims u picked out would look great on a dark green max...but not in 17's. in my opinion, custom 17's in general look too small on a maxima, ESPECIALLY if the rims you get have rivets...which these do...if i dont keep mine really clean, they look like 17's, if you get these in 17's, they will look REALLY small.

17" on a maxima is a good size for an auto-x rim. If you are going for teh bling factor, get 18's.

On that note.... $950 for 18's and tires?!?!?!? JFK, I paid $1200 for 17X7's on my old civic.

*rethinks x-mas budget*

How weird would it look to have 18's on stock suspension... forever?

whenever you get rims with rivets, they WILL look small unless you take proper care of them...that being said, my 18's DO look small and 17's will look even smaller. if your gonna get 17" rims, get spoke rims.

TECHNICALLY, 235 is a little wider than spec for a 7in. rim, but it can be done - many people on here (including myself) are running a 235/45 on a 17x7 rim, not one person has reported any occurance.
