will these size rims fit?
Just went from having a 4th gen max to a 6th gen max so my knowledge on what size rims to get are a little lacking..... Friend of mine has a set of rims that are 18x8.5 from his honda that i am thinking of buying from him. Obviously 18's will fit but will a 8.5 wide be too wide?
An english book huh..? Im sure you have one I could borrow.

These are the statistics for a 2004-2007 Maxima rim:
Bolt Pattern - 114.3 mm
Offset - 35.0 mm
Center bore - 66.0 mm
Width - 7.5 Inches
I don’t know anything about Honda rims, but check the center bore measurement. The center bore measurement is really important. Even if the rims share the same bolt pattern, if the Honda’s center bore measurement is smaller than our Maxima’s center hub, the rim will not fit. If the center bore is larger than the Maxima’s center hub, the rim will fit but be “loose.” The rim may always be slightly off center with respect to the brake assembly. It also means the rim/tire’s weight will rest directly on the lugs, which can lead to bad vibrations and rim damage. (Actually, once the tire is on the ground the car’s weight rests on the rim. That weight needs to be on the rim’s center hub, not the rim’s lug nut holes.)
To ensure a proper fit, the center bore must be exactly 66.0 mm. If the Honda’s center bore is larger than 66.0mm, you may be able to purchase spacers to reduce the hole size to 66.0mm. A great source of info for this kind of stuff is the Tirerack. Good luck.
