RX8 wheels on a 99 Max??

Hey everyone I just recently bought my first Maxima after my Volvo 850 Turbo was totalled. My Maxima is a 99 SE auto. Since I got it I installed H&R springs and a Intake for now. My question is has anyone tried 18" factory RX8 wheels on their max? I am thinking of getting them and I know the bolt pattern is same, but what about the hub? Does anyone have these wheels on a 4th gen? pictures?.

Thanks All

Nissan hub size is 66.1 mm. The RX8 is 67.1 mm according to roadkillcustoms.com.

Correct and they have the same bolt pattern but someone said that the centers are not deep enough to fit over the rear center covers. I think spacers could easily solve that issue.

Hub rings won't help with fitment over the rear hub covers.

que? I dont think I understand what you are talking about. THe hub is bigger.....so get a hub ring and it will be centered? Are you talking about the outside diameter wont fit?

The hub bore is smaller diameter towards the outside of the wheel. Thus the wheel contacts the bearing cap before the wheel seats flush on the rotor.
