Mustang rims on a Maxima

My boss gave me a set of rims off of his old mustang he doesn't have anymore. They have a set of Pirelli winter tires on them. Was just wondering if anyone knew if they would fit, would be a nice set of rims for this winter. Will end up selling them next spring in hopes of getting new rims.

This is what those rims look like I think it would look extremely strange on a Maxima but for free rims and winter tires who cares.

those are the tires that are on those rims.

Get rid of that Cobra center cap and I think they'd look good.


Mustangs are 5x114.3 (5 lug fox bodies and up) not sure about the back spacing though.

Umm... I love it, lol. First pass out with the new setup the car went 11.800 @ 116.85 N/A, now I just need to finish hooking up the kit so I can spray it. I am lazy though, all I have to do to finish it up is wire everything up, lol, and I'm sure it wont be done for a couple months, haha.


I was my DD from when I was 16 until I was 19 and bought my 4Runner for a DD to start modding the Camaro. I've had the car for about 10 years now. Here in the next year or so I am thinking about doing a turbo setup for the car since I have an extra motor and PCM for it in the garage.

Ya I actually have a 427 motor laying in my garage made by nelson racing. Came out of my dads kit car. My first car was almost a 02 SS camaro, but things happened and my grandparents gave me the Maxima. Not going to lie, its ok I'm trying to get it to the point were I enjoy it and its not like every other maxima on the road. My dad has a 70 Camaro he is restoring.

Thing is they don't have to much tred left on them so Idk if there even worth putting them on would rather have the 6 spoke rims something that looks more OEM and not so flashy.

I rocked a set of Saleen 18s for awhile, +29 offset. On a Maxima they poked in front and fit flush in the rear. Looked sexy, just needed some spacers for the back to poke them a little.

They would fit, but the only problem is that may be the ABS light would appear on your dashboard!

Why would the ABS light come on from putting rims on. That makes no sense to me. I am trying to find a good price for them for when I would want to sell them, I have another set of mustang rims to but there the weird looking ones.

Here is a picture of my other ones, can anyone give me a price they think would be good to sell them. Both have Pirelli tires on them.

To much money to paint them, btw there chrome I'd much rather get the 04 6 spoke maxima rims. I want my car to look as OEM as possible but still look like I did something to it. Have people guessing what I did.

the cobra rims, I'm not definite on buying them but if you bring one for me to look at, then I'll see what I can come up for money in the future
