I'm looking into getting smaller rims for the front when I go to the track. I know the 2002 brakes are larger and you can fit 15s with slight modification to the calipers, but I am not interested in modifying my brakes. I was wondering if 16s would fit on a 5.5 gen with no issues or modifications needed to clear the brakes. If so what offset should I get on the rims. I was looking at the rota slipstreams 16x7" +40 @ 13.5lbs w/ some toyo proxes t1-s or the new t1-r 215/55/16 . If 16s won't fit I was looking into getting the 17x7" kosei k1-ts with some bf goodrich drag radials 205/40R17 or 225/45R17.

Yes they will fit.

I've been wanting to do something similar but I was going to get 16x8 wedsport tc-005 with 2556016 bfg drag radials.

I think the 2155516 is a little small for much power.

I'm running 245/60/16 drags on mine when I go to the track. They fit fine. Please forgive the track sludge though.

16s will clear 02 calipers just fine. I currently run oem se 5-spokes with toyos (under 38lbs total) with good results.

can't you get a 2002 maxima's with 16" from the factory?

I know your getting these for the track but, anyone know how how bad these would degrade handling driven on the street

i've got 225 55 16's on for daily use. i didn't notice any decrease in handling at all. (susp mods include: fstb, rsb, eibach, illuminas) i have kumho ecstas asx on there.

thanks for the responses.
Does it matter on the offset. Would +40 be fine?
