Wheel question

I recently purchased a set of enkei j10 17x7 wheels. With an offset of 38 mm. Does anyone have an idea of what this will look like on a 2000 maxima? In reference to how fair the wheels are tucked under the fender, and how big of spacers will I need (if any) to get a more flush look for my whip? Thanks.

+1 Why would you buy a set of wheels first then want to know how they will look on your car? And like stated before, just throw them on and check for yourself.

7" wide +38 .. For 'flushness' you are going to need 8 or 8.5" wide and +30 or less.


IMO, 7" wide wheels have no business on an A33 chassis.

Mine are +33/8.5" all around and I have a 10mm spacer in the rear and 5mm in front. So I agree with your poast.

7" wide with ghat offset isn't going to be flush at all. You're gonna need huge spacers.
