2011 Maxima wheels on a 4th gen

Hi, I'm looking at possibly buying a set of 2011 18" Maxima wheels and tires to put on my 98 Max and I was wondering if you guys could tell me if there will be clearance issues and if I'll need spacers/fender rolling to get them to fit properly. I'm on stock struts/springs on all 4 corners.

Thanks for any help.

thought 2011 max rims were 19"? search for measurements of rims and car and buy them if they fit and if you like them.

They should fit... most stock height 4th gens will accept most any oem wheel there is.. you shouldnt rub pending the tire size on the wheel

Yeah, you're not lowered, so it should fit fine.
