Hey. Quick Question...I ordered these babies. They used to be on whalentires.com for the maxima, and seem to have the right size for it. But, does anyone know for sure if these with fit my maxima ? (95) Thanks !

yea they'll fit... it depends on the tire size... i mean you cant go rolling around with 335/20ZR-17s but jus make sure the tires are the rite size... but if you're gona do any racing, or sporting, 17x7s are definitely not the way to go... go check out TSW wheels... they're really cheap rite now... and they're pretty decent

As long as the offset is 35-40mm or so they'll fit. There are others on the baord with those wheels, and Whalen Tire is a good place to buy. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

yup

Yeah theyll fit, i have 17X7 katanas and i think they look really nice on the max... took some pics yesterday. but thats aside the point... the tires should be like 235/45 R17, thats what i have from yokohama , and they look great on it. but my friend had 235 nitto nt555's and they looked like they were chunking over the side a little he said... i still thought they looked cool . but my yokohamas are better. so maybe if you get nittos on them go like a 225 or something . but no bigger than 235 from nitto. just my .02

Thanks alot fella's...oh boy, these arent good for racing/speed. D@mnet !! But their only 19 pounds each, and are still .5 inches wider than my stock. Man, Coming into the world of after-market parts is a biyatch. SO Much to learn....

I was drivin today and a little standard civic comes zippen by me with his lil' exaust and window down to show his NOS Odometer... oh, i donno why thats funny, but those things just look funny when people try to make them into sports cars...

O YEA...IF ANYONE has pics of their max with Konig Caffeines I'd really like to see it ! Thanks

well u'll definitely have better rims than stock... but for 17s, the best size is 17x8 for sporting... ur car will handle great but the 17x8s would be better...
mosta us would never go to those extremes so dont worry about it...yea and those rims are nice haha... Konig quality isnt A++ but its a good deal

Well, Nick I Was almost POSITIVE that they would be aight, but u know that feeling in the back of your head "maybe these wont work?!" and I just had to get some feedback.

Man, "newbie" that sounds gay. I wonder how long b4 I "move up"

i dont know if you feel like waiting for someone with caffeins on their ride or not , but im pretty sure tires.com has a configurator and you can see what they will look like on a stock maxima . but im pretty sure cheston (chebosto on max.org or maximadriver.com ) can photoshop you a pic with anything you want on it ... he'll make you buy maximadriver.com stickers from him to do it, but theyre cheap and he does a good job , check in the mods section on his site under rims "duh" and he has a configurator on there and all the directions if you want him to do it and stuff....have a good time. good luck
