I'm thinking of buying some lightweight 16" wheels to put on my 5.5th gen Maxima. Will they fit over the brakes? Thanks for your input.

They should since the base model (GXE) comes w/16" wheels.

the 5.5 wasn't available in GXE. Only prior to 2002.

SE and GLE only.

i'm rolling on 16's for the winter. i had my stock 17's. but someone offered me his 16's plus 5bills for the 17's. it was an offer i simply could not refuse.

Uh-oh. Here we go. There was a discussion about this last week or so. Apparently, there were GXEs, but production numbers were relatively low. VMaximus02 has a GXE.

ok, i stand corrected. i took a better look at his pic in sig and can see it's an 02, or looks like one.
sorry.

stock 16's. it was off a 2k maxima. nothing too special.
no idea what sizes are as they are still put away. i'm sure a current 16"-rim driver will tell you.

mjg

are u gonna raise your coil overs up too? I can't imagine yer slammed car with 16s.

i was on the 16's with those coilovers for over 8 months before i got the moda rims. but i have yet to drive with stock 16's, dropped, and the front lip, so i may prolly have to raise it up. we'll see if i'm lazy or not.

16" - 215/55.

im assuming 17" is the smallest I can fit on my 6th gen, trying to decide if it would look rediculous with that size. Normally when I buy a car I wouldnt downsize in wheels but I know theres some performance to be gained by dropping 1" in size and 17s are cheaper and lighter.

here is a pic of 3 rotors. the ones on the left are 2k2 rotors, middle are 2k rotors and the ones on the right are 4th gen rotors. preety big difference but i want to see a pic like that with 6th and 5.5 rotors since people say they are ven bigger.

I have the BlehmCo BBk which uses 2004 rotors with my stock 2000 calipers, and they just barely clear my stock SE 17's...fyi...I don't know if the 2004 calipers are the same size though....

vsamoylov

what size are the 2k4 rotors? u got a comparison pic of those and 2k rotors?
