4th gen wheel offset??

I'm thinking of getting a 4th gen max and I have some 17x8 Mille Miglia M11-2 Sports sitting in the garage...will they fit? I think they have a 30mm offset. Problem is they are off a BMW 535i (RWD) and RWD wheels usually don't fit FWD cars.

The Maxima is 40mm. They would fit if you buy H&R wheel spacers (expensive though). However BMW (5x100 I think) uses a very different lug size pattern us (5x114.3), so it won't fit.

Maximas support bolt pattern 5 x 114 and 18" X 8" rims. The offset should be in the 35-38mm range. Maybe you can fit less then 35mm but I'm not sure. Center bore was not mentioned but if the center bore is too small(smaller then 66.1 mm) the wheels will not fit onto your hubs. You might be able to get different hubcentric rings though.

BMW has 5 X 120, plus ET30 would stick out too much... 35 is about as much as you'd want to go.

I was just about to say...BMW - 5 x 120, volkswagen is using 5 x 100, id say when you buy wheels, go with 38mm offset, I have 35mm on mine, and the front is sticking out a little. but then again, mine is 18x8.5 so it could rub with 38mm & mine doesnt
