I'm looking for help from my fellow Maxers. I want to know what cars share the same bolt pattern as my 99 SE, I have a set of 17" rims that I'm trying to sell after having them on for less than a week and I'm not getting much response here. I'd like to have some options of where to post them other than Ebay.

The bolt pattern is 5 x 4.5" (114.3mm). This is a pretty common bolt pattern, I believe the newer Mustangs use it also. The real fittment problem is offset. Most FWD wheels just don't work on a RWD car.

Center hole is important

The diameter of that large center hole is also important. For example, some Honda wheels have the same bolt pattern but won't fit the Maxima because the center hole is too small.

Thanks, I just got my car back after being out of town for business and noticed there is a spacer on the front. I'm assuming that it's there to clear the center bolt. What are the disavantages here? I'm not really happy about it.

It may be, but more than likely it is there because the wheels or tires were rubbing the struts. One major concern is the number of threads the lug nuts engage on the studs.
