I purchased the stock OEM Infiniti M45 Rims 19inch from ebay here:

I am thinking about buying these tires from costco and having them install it:

245/40-19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
http://www.costco.com/Tires/Product....ed=Y&Width=245

Would this fit fine on my 2004 Maxima SL? (My max is not lowered) I just want to make sure before I buy the wheels.

I would be hesitant to think they are actually OEM. I've never seen those in chrome. Not even as an option. Why would they be discontinued..? I also think that the factory wheels for the M are +50 or more offset. I would've asked before I bought.

BTW, I just noticed the seller has a rating of 0...

Come on now...

I had my cousin go check them out at their shop, he lives in so-cal, he said they told him they were dipped in chrome afterwards.

The main issue is that I want to make sure these fit.. I did check online and for a stock M45 the tires size was 245/40-19.

I just wanted to make sure that these rims/tire size would fit ok on my max

I got the rims from a shop on ebay:

(I know they have a 0 rating, but i had my cousin who lives near the area go to their shop and check them out. They are stock rims that were dipped in chrome)

I also want to get Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires (size 245/40-R19):

Now would these rims and tires fit my 2004 maxima with no problems? I know I am asking this question kinda late since I already bought them, but I have someone else who will buy them if they dont fit on my maxima. Thanks in advance, I love this forum!

yes it will fit

Apparently they do. And look DAMN nice at that! Checkout this thread.

Are those the infiniti rims on ur 5th gen? I checked that thread out but i didnt see a 6th gen with those same m45 rims..

i cant wait to get the new rims/tires. i just hope I wont have any probs from costco installing them.

about the rims not being OEM, I have seen the non-oem knockoffs, you can tell the difference. From that auction pic u can tell they look oem. Also I had my cuz make sure just to be 100%, he said that they were.

now i gotta sell my 18" ADR's/Toyos to recoup some of my losses! anyone interested? I will post pics soon.

wouldnt it be better to find this out BEFORE you baught them? hahah

nice pick up though..

well i had already been told that they would fit by a few friends, but i thought i would ask everyone in the forums just to make sure. I also had someone who was willing to buy them for the same price if they didnt fit, so either way i was covered

Why dont you just slap one on and check? Id be a little concerned about the offset.


BTW Mack, my mufflers are the 14816.

Haha thanks man, but can you clarify a bit? Brand/Model, etc..? Again they do look sweet.

There should be no issues with them. Pictured above is my 5.5 with the m45 wheels, We just simply bolted them right on. They were a perfect fit, and i have no rubbing issues with them at all. Hope that helped??

They should definitely fit a 6th Gen... And will look great also...

Quick Photocop of how those rims look on our cars.

Wow, nice work Joe!! Personally, I think the non-chrome would look better though.

this is like the third thread i have seen talking about people wanting to put either the m35 or m45 rims on their car..i have heard rumors therefor about the next generation looking kinda similiar to the infiniti on the exterior..or looking like the mercedes benz as well..

hey JoesRedMax that was pretty neat what you can do with photoshop but after seeing that my opinion states that the infinit rims look too sporty on the luxiourious look of the maxima..and too small..because those rims i dont believe would look good bigger than lets say 20's

just got the wheels, check out this thread:
