anyone with pics of their Max with 17"

I'm looking to buy some Axis SuperMesh rims (17")...can someone show me how 17" rims look on the car. Most of the people go for 18-19" rims and they look awesome, but i dont want to spend another grand ( canadian dollars) on just tires and will re-use the rubber that I have. so can anyone show me what it looks like ( the pics in tirerack dont tell me much)
thanks

Before you get flamed. 17's are a stock size for the max and there are pics everywhere. You can go to nissan's site, cardomain.com, or just do a web search for a SE Edition Max. Mine came with 16's so I don't have any pics of 17's.

Check out my cardomain ... BTW most 5g maximas come with that wheel size stock .. You also weren't clear that you wanted to see tht particular wheel ... you said you want to see a Maxima on 17's, you did mention that wheel but not in particular to that wheel .. and again, check out cardomain ... whenver I want to see x car with x wheels/mods on it, that;s where I go before I post ...

I think he knows his rims are 17s because he said he wanted to keep the tires and just change out the rims. Yes his sentece is not clear that he wants to see a particular size 17" rim, but it is clear that he knows his rims are 17s

Here are some pics of my car with Motegi MR& 17" wheels. My tire size is 225/55/17. I should have gone 235/50/17. Go tirerack.com. You can actually view a model of your car and see how each rim looks with different wheel sizes

Hope this helps.

I Have....

I have 17inch aftermarket rims. Dont get me wrong I love the look of 18s & 19s but here in NewYork I have much less worrys about road conditions & potholes riding on the 17s. Also a plus for the 17s is the weight of them. I love mine

Thanks for the response guys...I want new rims ( i currently have 17"), and am looking at SuperMeshII (17") and the spider (18"). The only issue with the 18" is that i would have to buy new rubber with that too...which comes out to be expensive since the deals in canada suck for good tires and can expect to pay 200-250/tire for a good brand. I got a quote for 254 for the MeshII ( 17") and Spider for 338 ( for 18") and 275 ( for 17")
