They look nice and good choice stayin with OEM I have 08 maxima wheels on and love the stock look. now just get a drop and your good to go. I have maxspeeds and I love the ride and drop from them tho I know im gunna get crap for saying that. im just not in to the ricein out my car thing I just like a clean look. I love the look of a maxima it really needs no improvments more than a little drop and maybe some 18" nissan wheels just my honest opinion.
Heres mine on 18"

I got 19"....20 is too big and looks goofy on a 5th gen. It also depends on the style/color of the rim as that will deceive the eye making the wheel look bigger/smaller than it actually is.
The 18" posted above doesn't look too bad and the extra 1" on the sidewall will definitely help with ride comfort.

Might be a regional thing, buddy of mine manages a tire shop and that's what he said to me a couple of weekends when I bought new tires from him. Basically he was having a hard time getting a decent deal on 235/40/18s but was finding 17, 19 & 20 at a savings of about $25-$50 a tire.

tire diameter by greater than 5%. You may beat a few of those, but you sure as hell aren't beating
"whatever or who ever wants to race."
Some want form over function. I prefer function over form.
To each his own, but please don't park your max next to mine.

rims
i used to have 20's on my car for about a year....finally got rid of them because of rubbing issues in the rear with my drop...
id say go as max as 19's...what i have now.
rays forged so they are comparatively lightweight as well.
