What is the widest rim that will fit on a 95 maxima that is lowered with coilovers.Some people have 8 inch wide wheels is that the widest-I want the wheels as flush as possible with the fender-flush not get out.If anybody has wheel width and offset info thanks in advance.

 

18x8 will fit flush with the front but you will need a spacer for the back if you want it to be flush

 

+38mm -> +40mm offset wheels are best to keep wheels flush w/ the fender, although you might consider a 5mm spacer on the rear hubs to really get the rear wheels "flush" with the rear fender. . .

If you're running coilovers really low though, you will have to be careful your tire's not rubbing the edge of the fender w/ the spacer on the rear. That's a possibility, depending on how low you go.

 

i have seen 18x8.5 on a max you might get a little rub when wheel is locked left/right.

 

8 inch wide is the way to go for this application.....but i dunt think its gonna help you out too much performance wise

 

 

I agree - 8.5" is overkill & just adds unneccessary weight. 8" is as wide as I'd go, personally.

he has 18 X 10" or 9.5" rims in the back... and like 8.5" in the front.... it depends on the offset....

 

its all about 14 inch rims

 

14 inch rust wheels are always good **** body.

 

i got 16" by 7", with +50 offset. mine is fine, i even took it to the dealer and they ALL said it will be ok. it has so far.

 

i have 18x8.5" all around with 245/40 nitto's 555.

the biggest i seen has been 8.5" in front 10.5" in rear. the wheels where 19's 3pc.

 

I have 18X8.5 all around with 245/40-18. The rear is 35mm & front is 38mm. But the front rubs a little on the inside when you have the wheel fully turned. You can fit a 10 in the back with the correct offset. If the car is to low then you will rub on the inside in the back with 10's.

 

Thats what I've been trying to find out this whole time..I'm about to put on 245/40/18's with 18x8.5. offset on front/rear 35mm, I'm still worried once I'll lower the car with B&G springs, that it will rub on the front, will it or will it not? and where can I machine my wheels to make it 38mm offset and where do I buy 5mm spacers???? thanks guys!

 

I have 5 mm spacers in the back to make my wheel flush with the fender. But i did have to cut the fenders to make the tire fit. You can get a 3mm spacer but then the tire will not be flush with the fender. You will have to machine in front wheel to make it fit inside the fender or else it will stick out and look ugly. If you go with a 235/40-18 in the front it will not rub on the inside. Get the expensive spacers that are made with thick and goood quality steel.

 

Right, what im saying is, if I'm gonna machine both rear and front wheels to 38mm, and then get the 3mm spacers for the back to make it 35mm at the rear, and so this way I can do rotation of the wheels as well. correct?

about the spacers, where do I buy them? and where can I machine my wheels to 38mm? how much would it cost me?

 

What's your offset of rear and front?

 

No, you want to have a 35mm offset in the rear & 38mm in the front. Depending on your rim (deepdish, flush), you might not even need a spacer. The rim shop should be able to machine your wheel for you. They should also have the spacers or be able to order them for you. If you have different offsets then you can not rotate them. But if you get different size tires then you can not rotate them anyway.

 

Steel spacers = heavy, unsprung mass - just say "NO." Go w/ alloy spacers: H&R's!

 

18x8 with 35mm offset and a 3mm spacer for rear.

machining the back of the wheels hub facing to get a higher offset is not a good idea. removing material from that area will weaken it. if you are going to modify the wheel/tire assembly then buy a wheel with a higher offset and you use spacers to position the wheel. beware; make sure you have enough thread on the stud to bolt down your wheel. hopefully you can get some spacers that are hubcentric and worst case you have to get some longer studs

hope you succeed and get the look you want.

 

i'm glad i didn't need spacers. i really don't like them.
