First of all , TURN OFF CAPS...
, did you get the right offset ? What width wheel and what size tire ? Do you have aftermarket springs ? There should be no rubbing on a 5th gen , unless you are rolling on a tire that is too big...

heh... its a good idea to research these sorta things before you go ahead and drop a couple grand on wheels that dont fit Live and learn I suppose. Go to a body shop and have them roll the fenders, if you attempt it yourself the paint might end up cracking. I would not cut the lip off, it'll probably end up rusting.

of course it's rubbing. The Max doesn't have that big of a wheel well. But hey you'll be different...

Those Antera 309 wheels is far from ghetto. Those are some of the hottest wheels out there.
And seeing that he got 20's those was not some cheap wheels.
If you're going to roll on dubs do it right, and he is doing it right.
Do your research...
Nice

Having that much of a stager width its seems more of a racing set up and I doubt that those rims offset where designed for a Maxima, cause if you look in any book of shops that sell rims they won't have that setup in there, like with my 3rd gen RX-7 I had 18x10 Volk GT-N's on the rear and 18x8 on the front but I was sold 18x9 with a supra offset and the saleman thought that would be fine but it ripped my front fenders up and the saleman had to pay for it after I investigated the offset. So I'm assuming these wheels you got are used cause I doubt no rim shop is going to have 20x10 with a offset for a Maxima.

There is NOTHING Ghetto about this wheel .
You should have gotten the 20 X 8.5
I looked into putting Lowenhart Br5's in 19 X 9.5 and they were going to rub for sure. the 275's are for sure way to wide in the rear. I need to see pics of your car, because it must look wicked !!
Anteras never = Ghetto ! Remember this Max on the left ?

Once your roll the fenders you will have no trouble at all.. you could lower it 5 inches and it wouldnt rub at all.
You should lower it at the same time it's getting the fenders rolled, they have to take off the wheels anyway.
A lot of people don't believe in 20s or staggering wheels on a FWD car, but I think it's nice to see people do different stuff.
Keep up the good work.

from the pic you posted the rear looks good but the front looks kind of high. i would do a small drop on it or at least do somthing with the front.

People are so concerned with 20s, to make up for other body parts. 80% of these people have bent wheels, the wrong offset, cheap wheels, bald tires, busted suspension (many cars are not built to hold such large and heavy wheels).
If u get 20s, u get a car or SUV that is built for them.

A guy here has 20 in. spinners on his Max.. I'm gonna have to catch him and take some pics of his car to post on here..

most ppl around here go big and we have bad roads. a friend of mine has 21's on his G35 and the funny thing is that his car is so big and already low that he doesn't have to drop it. it looks like it's drop already unlike our 4th gens that look like 4X4's.
