Edit: No they don't fit without machining the center hub.

You are missing one very important factor. Hub bore.

I guess if you get them cheap enough. But the thing is most of the time if they come with tires, they are the wrong size. If you have a serious jones for these wheels AND if you are willing to pay the $ to get the hub bore enlarged, I guess it's worth it to you. IMHO, they don't look good enough to justify the hassle of the extra machining for some 7" wide wheels.

I used to run 17x8 Mustang Cobra wheels. yeah they are Ford wheels (but no maker makes their own wheels anyway) but they are 8" wide, have 30mm offsets and will clear most any bbk out there (including my 300z caliper/13" cobra rotor combo). I had to use hub rings as Ford's hubs are larger but that's a very small sacrifice. Hell even the 245-45-17 tires that came with them were in great shape and is well within the acceptable tire diameter range for a maxima.
