The a35 max idealy need a wider and /or lower offet in the front than the usual staggered sets that are out there. The front has a lotta room due to the fender flare wide body characteristics of the maxima body style.
and this is why my set is 20x9.5 all around, this was a calculated choice to "even up" the proper fitment for a "non obtrusive, non modification" fitment. This allows u to keep true to the "front wheel drive non staggered" theme, all the while allowing you to rotate your tires-wheels.
so in a sense , this is not a staggered fitment. This is a "Double Staggered" fitment. There is the standard front wheel drive fitment, the staggered fitment, and then there's the Double Staggered fitment developed by yours truly BBmaxi. (by the way BBmaxi is a stoupid name, I gotta change it)

Not sure, i doubt it. Many oem wheels are now made in china.
You will need some spacers if you go with these wheels, for both front and back. The size and width is horrible for the max.

They look sweeet, if the wheels were forged i would get em no doubt, i thought since the rays on the 370z were, these were similar.. Oh well, back go the drawing board..

I looked into M56 wheels also... so far no luck. I went to an infiniti dealer and I nearly fainted with the price. I give up finding 370Z and M56 wheels. I understand they are expensive but not a lot of people are selling them in NJ/NY area. I might as well go after market... I'm thinking either 20x8.5,20x9 or 20x9.5

...Don't say spacers LOL We had toooooooo many spacer arguments on this forum..... This thread might lock as well and is one of my favorites...
I'm doing a lot of rim research before I buy. Hyper silver, gunmetal, and black will look good on my car... That's all I know so far... I'm also taking my time

You guys can always buy these bad boys , its in the for sale section. Yes there r a lot if choices, a lot of trendy blings, cosmetic rivets, chrome here and chrome there. Do u really need brands with 2 - 3 letter acronyms and / or the predictable italian sounding brand name?
Cut to the chase, get rid of all the gimmicks and keep it simple, timeless and resolve the typical fitment issues related to the a35. Its all at your finger tips.

hmmmm I like... I'm considering these. A little bit more pricey than the 2 crave wheels. Simple and clean. The face is hyper silver and the lip is brushed... Looks like chrome but they are not. 20x8.5 w/ 255/35/20 Falken tires included...

IMO, guys don't jump down my throat, I think the wheels with the Audi symbol will look insane on a max in 20" hellafush OMG!

LOL That would look sick but the problem is whether or not the bolt pattern is the same. I already purchased the TSW rims that you see in the pic. They are coming this weekend hopefully. Can't wait to get them on.

NICE I like this rim too. My problem with rims that have several spokes is, it's a pain in the butt to clean. That's why I went 5 spoke. Go staggered if I were you. These rims remind me of the Vossen VVS-CV1

i feel you on cleaning the spokes, but at least theres a large enough gap btwn them to clean em, my cars black so i thought these would look nice, but im still on the fence with the other ones i listed ahhh decisions decisions, for me, five spoke look better on a smaller body car like a 2 door, other than the 370 rays ive only seen a handful of 5 spoke wheels i like
