I was wondering if anyone has installed the newer cobra mustang wheels on a maxima, from what i hear they are the same lug pattern although since they are for a rear wheel drive, the offset is different.... How can i figure the effects of this and also, if the lug patter is in fact the same....... i know the maximas are 5 by 4.5
my friend has offered me his 96 cobra 5 stars for 300 bucks !!! without tires, so i dont wanna pass this up....somebody help me out ok thanks...........

 

Uh, the cobra back wheels will be like 10 inches wide..I doubt they will fit inside the well of the maxima. Plus people who know about SVT will think of u as a rice-poser

 

Don't do it it's not worth it.

 

wasnt there a guy before Maxstang or something who did this? Or just called his car that?

I wouldnt want mustang wheels on my car,lol. Take Care

 

17x8
my question WAS will these fit the brakes and also the effect of incorrect offset...

 

I have seen this done. I don't think it was a person on the .org, but I have seen a green 4th gen in Fort Collins with 17 inch 5 point Mustang wheels. I thought it looked pretty good, only the max was ridin stock height so the wheel gap was kinda ugly.
If the wheels will fit then I say go for it.

 

anyone know the effect of wrong offset.......

IMHO, a nice option.

Hey are you going to be at our CO meet on Saturday? Look in the West Coast forum for details if you havent already. Take Care

 

The ones i am going to get are on thats ite for 96-97 COBRA 17X8
Now does anyone else use a 8 INCH WHEEL WIDTH HERE, and what is the offset of a maxima from factory.Thanks

 

Did you even CLICK the link that someone thoughtfully provided??

 

i used the link yes thank you......
Says nothing about offset though........:

 

Now have you used search? It's been discussed before

 

are indeed on the mustang rims link (30-32mm)
Maxima offsets on the handy MaxFAQs (35-40mm)

Another potentially useful link

SO ITS GOOD TO USE THE RWD OFFSET MUSTANG WHEELS ON MaXIMA?

 

CONSIDERING THAT GOLD MAXIMA IN THE LINK IS MINE, YES!

 

STOP SHOUTING!

 

gratzi for the help

 

Ahhh... much quieter now. Much Better.
