New Guy...need help ASAP on Rim Size for 03 Max
Whats up guys, I just joined this forum and I have a question needed answered immediately if anyone knows.

I bought a 03' Max Titanium w/ Black lthr. 6 spd SE

and want to buy rims this week! I dont mind the 17's for winter but thats about it.

Does anyone know the Offset on this car from rims? 38?
Can I put 245/40/18 without any problem (spacers?)
I want the number (whatever it is) to be closest to 26.1 standard on this car. I belive its like some circumfirence number and depending on rims you get and size it changes for example a 225/44/18 is like 25.3..and the bigger the difference the more off your spodometer is. Please help, b/c I want 18's.

 

Here's a link to help you out.

Also I believe our offset is 45.

 

I thought it was 38 the offset

 

Why do you think it's 38?

 

Hey Modenamax, thanks for posting this up, i am also trying to search for 18's for the summer. Stock 17's are nice for the winter. I also want to know abou the offset, and all the other crap that we "newbs" to maxima,org need to know to get the right tires.

Right now, I am really into the Enkei CDR9 Polished Silver, 5zigen Super Blacks, or the Konigs.... but i dunno where to start. if you can help that would be great. thanks
