H&R has them. When looking, make sure you get ones that are hub centric with extended lugs.

Had H&R front and rear. Excellent recommendation. Quality product. There are two versions - 1. longer studs. 2. Studs built into the spacer. You use existing studs to mount the spacer then you use the studs on the spacer to mount the wheel.

Option #2 is a lot less work and allows you to swap rims and remove spacers easily (for example if you are running winters for half the year.)

Keep in mind, option 2 has a fairly wide minimum thickness, and oftentimes, you need to trim your existing studs.

I use option 1 with 10 and 15 in rear on OEM 17 SE's.

Thank you for the heads up, still looking for pictures. I've done a search maybe I'm search retarded but I found one pic of a guy with rear spacers on a 2000 max and it was by fluke in a lowered thread.

20mm or 25mm for the rear wheels!?

I'm losing my mind thumb is hovering over the "buy now" button on the h&rs on eBay. Just what size is killin me.

I had 15mm front and 25mm rear with TE 17's lowered on Eibachs. Looked beautiful. Minor rub prob on one side of rears because that rear beam shifts once you lower it. 20mm is a safe bet.

Regarding my Option 2 above- the 17 TE rims have an opening in the back of the rim that allows for the stud should it be longer than the width of the spacer.

Now pull the trigger and buy some.

The TDMi ones look like good pricing and some people on here like their products.

Looks like a regular Maxima but with the wheels 20mm further out.
