these rear will fit but you have to roll the inner fender. after that you should be good. a guy over on NYCmax did that. his car look sweet.

I have 20x8.5's and I needed to roll my fenders to fit them, I had it lowered about an inch in a half, but i just put the factory springs on and it does fine now. It would SLIGHTLY cut my tire each time I would hit a bump, it was just taking Toyo 555 off of the tire. I couldn't imagine bottoming out on a 10 inch wide wheel. But good luck. I am not sure about the 6th gen's, but I could run 20x10's on mine without lowering it, no problems, no need for rolled fenders, but if you are going to lower it at all, you will have too. Good luck. Post up pictures.

A 10 inch wide wheel doesnt look right on the max IMO, Id prolly go 9.5 max.

One thing to consider is that if you go with a staggered look, you will only be able to rotate your tires left to right. And with tires nowadays being more and more directional, you will probably NOT be able to rotate your tires at all. Just a consideration. Plus going staggered is only for looks IMO. No real benefits on the maxima to go 20x10 in the back.
