Will 05 Altima SE wheels clear the brakes on my 2001 maxima?
I am looking into getting a set of 05 Altima SE wheels for my 01 maxima. Will they clear the brakes? Does anyone have a picture of 5th gen maxima with those wheels (17", 5 spoke)?

I got a set and they do not clear the brakes. I have 3 other sets of altima wheels that do clear the brakes perfect, but these ones don't. I do not know why.
Any ideas anyone?

have you thought about spacers? They may help you clear the brakes as well as get flush fitment with your fenders.

Wheels look flush without spacer. They have 225 tires on them. But the distance between the front wheels and the brake caliper is about 1 mm if that

Hmm. Maybe you could run a 5mm spacer just to clear the brakes.

Maybe, but to be honest I feel lazy to do that. I have ten sets of wheels for the car and seem like a hassle for me.
