Hello All,

I'm a new Maxima owner as of today, a 2003 SE. I have a question, do any of you know what size spacers I should install to bring the factory wheels out to near flush with the wheel wells?

 

5mm H&R spacers on the rear wheels.... I think a few members here have them....

 

Thanks for the info.
Where do I get H&R spacers and how far should I go out on the front?

 

here is a link, but you should look around.... I think you may be able to get them a little cheaper....

as for the fronts, it's up to you if you want to do those.... IMO, 5mm on just the rear makes the wheels look balanced

 

Are you sure only 5mm? That doesn't seem like very much.

 

does anyone have pics of their max w/spacers? what size are they?

 

post pics

 

Does anyone have any other recommendations as far as spacer size for the stock wheels? 5mm doesn't seem like it would do a whole lot.

 

15mm in the rear are perfect. I recommend the H&R's. I got them off a member here. they make the rear wheels look 100 times better. you will definatly enjoy them. I will have pics up soon.

 

Thanks for the info, 15mm sounds more like it. Did you do anything to the front?

 

I went to Treadquarters the other day and they said that they don't recoomend wheel spacers for me. What modifications did you have to do to install the spacers diffent lugs or anythingg to accomidate the extra space?

 

yeah, with the wheel spacers you get new lugs. they wont fit without puting new lugs. and for the front I think that 5mm looks best. I am waiting for mine to arrive.

 

org member jhans114 is running 25mm wheel spacers on his rear rims...forgot what he's running on his front rims...

 

What are the draw backs to having wheel spacers. As far as alignments, tire wear/ performance etc...

 

bump....

anybody know the answer to this....b/c I'm considering wheel spacers if I cant find new rims soon....

 

if you go with spacers too wide, you may end up incresing understeer... 5mm or 15mm is probably not a big deal at all... Make sure you get new lugs if you go bigger than 5mm....

 

what size spacers would you guys recommend for the front?

also how are these

Holy old thread... and no, do not get those...

Eibach, H&R, or Ichiba...

 

Wow definately an old thread.

Ichiba and H&R...I have both lolz

 

the benefit [imo] of going with a name brand is that you can get them to be hub centric so it'll be flush. by getting those eBay ones will probably "float" per se between the rotor and wheel. i mean you can tighten them down but there will probably be some movement.

 

sorry for bumping an old thread, didnt want to make a new one on the same topic. Im debating between new rims or using the the 17" i have on my other car on the max (+50 offset rims on my other car). The kits i see by eibiach h&r are 120 bucks each!

 

bumping an old thread to ask a new question on the topic is perfectly fine.

thank you for not starting a new thread

 

+50mm offset is horrid

 

i think 20mm in the rear and 5 in the front would look nice. If you are interested I have ichiba 20mm spacers for sale. e-mail me if you are interested. I had them on my 03 and they were totally flush!

 

I put 25mm on the rear and they looked great. My friend has the same spacer with stock rims and that looks great too.

 

I have a 03 Maxima SE Platinum Edition and I was thinking of putting wheel spacers on just on the back. Do you guys think these would work and if it would look good.

Titanium Edition

 

H&R or Ichiba if you want spacers, those aren't hubcentric so you end up with balance issues.

 

Yes it is the Titanium Edition and it has the stock wheels.
I'm looking at the H&R Spacers. So can I just order them and what's the deal with the Special #15 Note below? Do I need to be concerned about it?

240SX S14,5/114.366.2Stud12x1.25DRS5 mm151065662$69300ZX, 350Z,DRS15 mm153065662$120Maxima, MuranoDRS20 mm154065662$125

Notes:
15) Depending on model, axle, and year, Nissan vehicles have different diameters in the shoulder of the studs. This list provides notes and measurements of the shoulder of the studs required for installation. The wheel spacers shown will be supplied with shoulder bolts D=14.25. If you need D=12.85, please add a "1" at the end of the part number.

 

Don't worry about the special note. Just get it with the 14mm knurl and you'll be good to go

 

That's cool. Thanks.

 

no problems w/ wheel spacers and rubbing for those that are lowered???
I've got the Tein SS adjusted very nicely

 

Another question I have is that if I go with the Eibach Pro Spacers in the 5mm or 10mm do you still need to remove the old wheel studs and replace with the longer studs. I would think not with the 5mm? Can you guys confirm. Thanks

 

Anything 10mm or lower, you don't NEED to, but it is recommended. The stock studs are long enough but once you go any higher (10mm+) you will need to replace the studs.

 

Thanks very much for the quick response.

 

Are these good spacers?

i got 15mm spacers from optauo.com ichiba usa spacers. came wit studs and all. im happy with the way it looks and yes i bought longer lug nuts for other wheels that i have. 15mm front and rear

 

Those are good spacers. I had them on my Camry. You can get them cheaper than that though if you shop around.

 

Beat me to it. That's where I got the ones for my Camry. The price there is better than ebay.
