Will g35 19" staggered rims fit in my 04 Max?
I just bought the 19" staggered rims that come off of 05 g35 coupes. I have read a little about staggered causing inderstear and how you cant rotate the tires? First off I am not to clear on EXACTLY what staggered means! Also I am wondering if these wheels will fit or if I will need to off set them? Any imput would be great, thanks guys

Staggered = In this case means, that the rear wheels are wider than front wheels. You can't rotate them for obvious reasons. Although you could because some of the new LS4 equipped GM's come with wider front tires than the rear, being that they are FWD.
Unless your car is RWD, staggered, IMO, is a
. But, since you already bought the wheels, 
Why not make them work and toss them on.

6 & 6.5 Gen SE Maximas have always come with 245/45-18 on all 4's the 350Z and G35c unsure or what package is necessay but come through with 225 front and 245 rear

just put them on they will fit fine but put the wider ones on the rear, 1 or 2 guys on the org have staggered wheels on their rides.
look on the inside of the rims, 2 should say 8 inches wide and the other should say 8.5 inches wide

They will run fine. Throw 'em on. I'm running 18x8's front and 18x8.5's in the rear. I had 225s on the front and 245's in the rear but the 225's were terribly uncomfortable so I now have 245/45/18's all the way around, even though my rear wheels are still wider. Seriously though, you won't have any problems running these as the M35/M45 also comes with 19" similar wheels and clearance/body type is nearly identical.

225 means it's 225mm measured from sidewall to sidewall. Less equals lower profile tire, therefore rougher ride. the 40 (in 225/40/19) means 40% of the tire is sidewall. Again lower the # lower the profile. 19 of course is wheel size.
By the way bro, goto the dealer part center and ask them to sell you a wheel lock key (assuming the wheel locks you have are stock). I lost mien and they matched one up for me and it was $20. Worth every penny.

The profile of a tire is the percentage of a tire's width. The profile is the sidewall. The width is in millimeters. Divide millimeters by 25.4 to convert to inches.
For example...225/40/19 has a sidewall of 3.54 inches and 245/40/18 has a sidewall of 3.85 inches.
Here's why-.4 (40%) times 225 equals 90 millimeters. 90 millimeters divided by 25.4 equals 3.54 inches.
Remember, sidewall is all your rim has between it and the somtimes rough roads and potholes.

My link:
Width x Aspect Ratio = Section Height
Section Height x 2 = Combined Section Height
Combined Section Height + Wheel Diameter = Tire Diameter
Example: 185/60R14 85H or 185/60HR14
185mm x .60=111mm
111mm x 2=222mm
222mm + 355.6mm(14")= 577.6mm or 22.74"
The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall. To convert to inches, divide by 25.4 In the example above, the width is 185mm or 7.28".
The second number is the aspect ratio. This is a ratio of sidewall height to width. In the example above, the tire is 7.28" wide, multiply that by the aspect ratio to find the height of one sidewall. In this case, 185x0.60=111mm or 7.28"x0.60=4.36".
The last number is the diameter of the wheel in inches.
To figure the outside diameter of a tire, take the sidewall height and multiply by 2,(remember that the diameter is made up of 2 sidewalls, the one above the wheel, and the one below the wheel) and add the diameter of the wheel to get your answer.

I run on staggered setup with 245/45/18 tires. My rims are 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. It looks awesome but you can't rotate. Well you can, but you have to removed, reinstall and re-balance all tires. Thats $80.00 every time I'd do it. If you rotate as recommended that can add up to a cost of a new tires. Pain in the butt if you ask me but looks awesome. ANyhow, I've got NISMOs sitting in the basement already waiting to buy new rubber and put them on so that won't be an issue anymore.

I just brought my car to a nissan dealer who said they had to pull the locked lug nuts off because I dont have a key. They said it would cost over 100 dollars. Is the case with all nissan dealers or was this one just trying to screw me or didnt have the universal key that I have been hearing about? Anyother ways to pull these off because I dont have the key?

im sorry I thought I answered you question here.
here goes again though
you'll be fine. I put the 8.5s in the front, they sit flush with the fender.
I gave up on the m45 wheels for two reasons, 1 they are heavy as he ll, and the offset on them is nuts, I think they are like 55 or something like that, wich will require a 1" spacer wich may cause problems. so thanks but no thanks,

Bro, is your wheel lock a NISSAN wheel lock? If so, they can match one there for you and it's around $20 for the key. I've bought 2 of them at my dealer. If it's not a NISSAN key then yeah they would probably charge you extra for taking off each one, then you'd have to purchase a new set of lug nuts and a key set.

He's either yanking your chain or simply incompetent. Call another dealer. If you continue to get the run around, PM me. I'll bridge you up with a dealer of your choice, or MINE even and confirm they can get you a new wheel key, but ultimately you'll have to drive to a dealer, and they will walk out to your car with a set of about 20 keys and have to physically go through each one till they find the right one for your car. It's not a big deal really and only takes 2 or 3 minutes.

I didnt have to lower the car, I have the 8.5s in the front and the 8s in the rear, FWD, so you would want the wider tire up front, and since is only .5 difference you cant tell so doesnt look weird.
rotors with pads were like 250 on ebay, (anything is better than stock rotors)

because I got the wheels in MINT condition and about 95% tred for 550, I didnt plan on getting them till I came across that deal can couldnt pass it up. I figured if they didnt fit I would just sell them and prob make a few bucks...

you can make some $$$ if you decide to sell, but they will fit as members here have them on.
