so, i've been fantasizing about my 97 se wearing THESE RIMS...



however, the only thing i don't like about them is that they say infiniti on them. well...the infiniti logo. here's my question...will a nissan center cap fit in place of the infiniti center cap? i think it should be the older nissan logo, to match the rest of the nissan burgers on my car. (I.E. 1999 and older)

also, what size tires would make those rims as close to my factory specs so i wouldn't have to reprogram my speedo?

and while i'm on the topic, how hard is it to reprogram the speedo? and is that all that is involved?

 

Those are 18's right? Probably 225/40/18 or 235/40/18

OEM certainly FTW. I'm not sure about the center cap. You can probably find some Nissan ones and try it out. I wouldn't imagine them being too expensive.

8.5JJ x 19 i believe

 

Oh....225/35/19, 235/35/19? Someone check my numbers.

I think if you remove the center cap and look at the back side you'll find that the logo is plastic riveted onto the cap where two plastic posts are melted to form flat heads that hold the logo in place. Take the cap off. If this the case, you'll see what I mean...

Anyway, I think what you can do is remove the logos themselves and replace them with Nissan grille or trunk lid logos. Scroll down through this thread... this guy has either done it or plans to. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=559610

Use this calculator to determine the appropriate tire size(s).

225/35R19 are the closest (Speedometer Difference: 0.425% too fast, Diameter Difference: 0.44%) but who the ***** wants to spend $1200 on tires, PLUS however expensive the rims are!!!1111oneone

 

maybe i'll just pretend they're already on there and save the 3 G's i would have to drop on getting those rims fitted

 

Ya those are the M45 sport wheels and go for over 1K on ebay without tires...

 

those are some really nice looking wheels. I think a nissan cap should be able to fit there.Just check around.

 

yea they look great i agree. but the downside is that they weigh something like 28 lbs each. your performance will suffer greatly.

for reference, stock 15 inch sawblades weigh 16.1 lbs.

 

spot up the pics with a full view of car please rock

 

OEM Rims FTW!

They look sick as hell dude. Get'em

 

mspaint > photoshop

 

chrome doorhandles with those rims would look good. plus clear bumper lights and maybe a darker tint.

wheels are sweet tho

 

idk for some reason i never liked these wheels on a max i dont think they even look good on the M

 

THose M wheels are 19"..
they look much better on a 5th gen..
on a 4th gen, 18"s should be max ( no pun intended) - but this is my opinion..

as for the center caps, as mentionned above, I did it to my M35 wheels http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=559610

but your center caps are different.. you might have to get center caps like these
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nissan-59mm-Wheel...QQcmdZViewItem

which are the center caps for the 4th gen OEM rims and certain 5th gen wheels..


but for sure, OEM rims FTMFW!!!! :d

 

I've got 16x8.5 300ZX wheels with 225/50s on my 98 SE, they fill up the wheel wells a bit more and they were only $200 for a set of 4 in good shape!

 

you know... call me crazy but i think the chrome door handles look better than the body color... at least on the white (i have a GXE with new wheels and spoiler).... that IMO though

 

sweet rims!

 

yuck.........

 

sorry to bring this up again but will the Infiniti rims that are 18x8.0", +30mm Offset, 5 lug x 114.3mm/4.5" fit my 95SE without spacers? All wheels are the same size and offset, not staggered. heres a pic

 

Yes those will fit.

 

i'm with you on this one man.

 

but he will not be able to use the centre caps without spacers.
from what I have read. If I am wrong, please correct me.

 

tHANKS. and by the way. for all u guys looking for rims their is a lady selling the 18" rims for $200 off a 2004 Max in the dallas craigslist. two got road rash (on the lip) and two are perfect. i would jump on them but i just got Infiniti ones i posted a couple of posts ago. Just letting u guys know i hav notn to do with the rims but i was trying to get her to $150 lol and she wouldnt for me. This is a pic she sent me
