Hi ppl, I am trying to get new wheels for 5.5 gen Max. Does anyone know the fitment for a 17" oem wheel. The sizes I saw was 17x7 5-114 and some with 114.3, does any of these makes a difference??? Also does anyone know the offset for the 17" oem??? I am trying to get some nakayam wheels......http://nakayama.us/01_wheels/nrs/vador5.html.....any suggestions?????.....replies and comments is appreciated.....thanks

Don't the 5.5 gens already have 17x7s?? Either stay with the stock 17s or at least go up to 18s or 19s.

45 may work but they will be way in. I suggest a lower offset to bring further out. The stock 18s I think are 40.


Good offset tool if you are using wider wheels http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

the offset for those are 42....does it matter what the offset would be??? what is the diifference between 114 and 114.3??? what is those for??? Does any of those effect the proformance or anything else???.......I really want to get 18s or 19s but I realize that no matter what size wheels u put on a Max, the wheels will look small unless u lower the car.......I know I loss alot of comfort when I upgrade the wheels, especially when going over bumps. I guess I am just going to stay with 17s...........Thanks for all the replies and comments......

Offset and bolt pattern are important. Our Maximas have 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern.

IMO, it's not worth to spend money to get 17s.
