Ok guys, It's about spring time and i'd like to get a head start on finally getting my car some new shoes. I like the whole stanced/hellaflush scene and was wondering of any wheels you guys would prefer that would fill out that nasty 5.5gen fender gaps haha. I'm thinking of doing just a slight stretch to help with fender fitment. just asking for suggestions, I've had my eyes set on a couple sets of rotas but let me know what you all think!

So if you have a suggestion, rim/tire sizes and offsets would be nice!

ALSO! i'm getting D2 coilovers so dont worry about that.

Thanks guys.

 

forgot to say but i dont really want to spend over a grand on the rims alone. thanks again

 

G35 18s

 

I payed 400$ for mine

 

I've always liked other OEM wheels. There's not too many aftermarket rims that look "just right" on 5th gens, IMO.

 

LM's

 

i actually really like those. especially the coupe ones. thanks ill keep em in mind!

here are just some ive been looking at in particular...

Rota D2 18x9 or 18x8

Rota Grid (Highlight Yellow if i wanted to go flashy lol) 17x9 +25 offset
rotagrids.jpg?t=1330563457

and to keep it budgeted a little more...
XXR 521 18x8.5
xxr521.jpg?t=1330563457

and another budget one lol
XXR 962 17x9 +40 offset

Just let me know if you have any comments or suggestions guys! it will be appreciated!

 

i know exactly what you mean. i was gonna get 6th gens but a buddy i cruise with already has some on his altima so ive been trying to refrain from them as long as possible! haha thanks man

another good possiblity. know of any 5.5s with a set on the forum?

 

kinda expensive tho dont ya think? lol BBS are just too sexy so theyre worth it i suppose

 

Think wide with low offsets.

 

ill keep that in mind man. thanks!

 

I really love these rims on the max... may not be good for the flush look though...

 

muranos look pretty sharp, they weigh a bunch but they look good

 

i love em both! but yea they arent the best but close! thanks for the suggestion. noted. and who knows i may abandon the flushed look before buying so who knows!

 

g35 19" rays are my favorite upgrade to my max... lightweight, strong, and wide... you will sacrifice some driving quality and adverse weather conditions are a little more difficult, but what you lose in that you gain 7x in dry weather handling and acceleration.. i break 6 seconds 0-60 easily in my 6mt hlsd with no wheelspin.. people need to start appreciating this rim more IMO

if i were to re-do things one of my only other considerations would be altima se-r rims, same characteristics but 18" would make for a smoother ride

 

 

those r tite

 

ok cool. thanks for the info!

 

i saw these for the first time the other day except the bear was painted hahaha they were on a supercharged scion xb of all cars...

 

Altime SE-R wheels are my favorite for this gen Maxima.

 

Go with concave wheels. Go with vossen

 

Bump. im mostly interested in knowing width for rear wheels that will fill out to edge of fenders. but nothing that will stick out mexican style in the front haha would 17x9 +20 offset do the trick?

 

Are you going for aftermarket of OEM. BBS staggered for aftermarket and infiniti G35 18's or 350Z for OEM

 

The 7 spoke Infiniti ones are my fav. for stock Infi/ Nissan Rims on a 5th gen...

 

i really want aftermarket. hah any likes in the pics i posted earlier?

 

There is a member here with Rotas P45. 17x9 +25 in the front and 17x9.5 +25 rear with a 5mm spacer. Makes it +20 in the back. I love the look. Thats the route I will take if I can't find a decent set of SE-R's.

 

i actually looked at the bronze p45's for a long time haha very nice choice IMO, ill keep it in check. thanks!

 

Wouldn't you have to slam your car for it to look good?

 

We need pictures of those Rotas. I've always liked P45s although I wondered if 17s would be big enough. Those teddy bear rims are awesome, if only they made spinners with a weighted bear so you could clearly see the awesomeness even when the car is in motion.

 

The last set of rims/tires you'll ever have to buy

 

16.8 seems pretty light for a rim, but it's a 17, too.

 

I personally liked the aggressive styling of the 350z Touring v2 rims...I just took these off.
The fitment is great, no spacers.

 

G35 19s or look for used wheels

 

get a set of wheels you like fawk what every body else think... I'm on xxr 521's 18x10 all around 235/40's... and it getting droped on teins sometime today

 

the g35 stock 19's are ok but why would you want to put a set of wheels on your car. the g35 owner don't even want .... oan I have a set of g35 wheels for sale that are on my g now.

 

I agree with Clashez. Get something that you like and not what everyone has because at the end of the day you're the one driving the car. Get advice on tire size,rim size and offset advice, and find a rim that looks good and fits your lowering application.

 

shut your simple *** up, sitting there contradicting yourself in two fukin post

OP:



or get some 370z wheels

 

OP is just looking for ideas...lol

 

So am I suppose to get scared? Because I'm not. Oh btw the 370Z wheels look sick on your car.

 

phatboi trying to be like every body else... OP please take advice from phatboi he truly does have what they call HELLA STYLE... he when from a cheaply purple painted oem stock wheeled clown car maxima. to 1989 hoopied out integra on busted rims.... lol
