http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5126819&rd=1,1

Ive done the calculations and it seems as if they would fit fine..

anyone have any ideas ?.. these rims are hot and would sit perfectly flush with the body of the max.

Wow those are weird, the fronts have smaller bolt pattern than rears... you can try asking the seller, although a lot of them seem to ignore questions.

Actually, they look terrific.. Especially in gunmetal.


Those are sportmaxx rims and are VERY and I stress VERY popular with the drifters in FL for being 4 lug rims with insane widths and offsets available at a reasonable price. My friend has them on his 180 type-X conversion. They also make decent 5 lug wheels as well..

I meant that with that offset they will be a little sunken in and wont look that great, at least thats my opinon, everyone has their own deffinition of what "flush". Thoes offsets are just a little high for a 240.

I know what sportmax rims are and I know they are popular with drifters. Thats the exact reason why I dont like them. They are bandwagon rims.

In that case, I completely agree with you.. Offsets are lame in this particular case and seriously every drifter has them. Sure they look good, yet when everyone has them I dunno it lacks that certain luster I believe you're getting at. They also look a little cheap in the alloy finish, like toy rims or something.

No joke.. The thing that really gets me is the "zip-tie method." Like my friends front fenders are simply zip tied on and they clatter in the wind. Some other kid has his mirror and parts of his dash zipped on. Wtf..

haha I own a green '95 myself.. 240's aren't built the best though, I admit it. My maxima is of higher quality when it comes to stuff breaking.

Yes they will fit, but 7" is not wide enough for fronts. Get 8" or 8.5". Also a 7" +38 offset will also be kind of sunken in on a maxima. For a 7" wheel, you need atleast +25 offset to be flush with the front fender.

If you're slammed in the rear, you will need to roll your fender if you run a 255 tire.

I agree, my Maxima feels like its built better, but I havent had any problems with my 240 either even tho the previous owner left it in a ****ty condition. Either way, its tremendous fun factor greatly outweighs any of its negative characteristics.

Ahh, come on, zip ties are great. My front lip is zipped on, mainly because after the lip got ripped off from hitting debris on the freeway, the mounting holes on the front bumper got streched beyond usability. Gotta make do with what I've got and zip ties came to save the day!
