Right. However, the large center hole diameter is also important. You will find wheels which have 5x114.3mm (5x4.5") but won't fit your Maxima.

For instance my rims are 18x7.5 with a 5x114.3 and a 45 offset. But the back rims didnt fit on due to the hub being bigger than the center of the rim. So I was told to just mill it down a little bit. But i didnt want to do anything like that. So all I did was buy a 5 mm spacer and the rear rims are perfect. Couldnt get any happier.

You might get some Honda wheels which have the 5x4.5" wheel stud pattern. You think "Okay, these will fit my Maxima." When you try to install the Honda wheels they just won't fit. The reason is the big center hole in the Honda wheels is too small to fit on the Maxima hub. This has nothing to do with wheel offset.
