before you swapped the tires....did u at least bolt the wheels onto your car to see if there would be any tire rubbing issues? if so....what was the problem? the width or profile of the tires?

I like that.

I put the wheels off my wifes 08 on the 96 and they looked good, worked fine. But she wouldn't let me put the sawblades on the 08! Go figure.

Can we adjust the speedo on the 4th gen for bigger tires?

i honestly like the 04 maxima rims on the 4th gens a lot. if i didnt have rims already i think i would put those ones on.

You cannot adjust the speedo in the 4th gen. It would probably be off by like 1-2% anyway.

I think any of the newer maxima wheels look way better than any stock 4th gen wheels. Definately dont put the 97 wheel back on there! Obviously they are outdated...heh
