Between hearing conflicting stories on whether or not I would rub, having around a 75-mile commute daily, and just not wanting to deal with different tires, I just left them the same.
My main DD is over the 300k mark, so I am going to try and prepare for the next couple of years to look at another DD with much lower mileage. When I get another one, I will probably get more aggressive with the Maxima (wider stance, probably go to coils, exhaust work, etc).

Finally pulled the trigger...
So after driving on light BBS wheels for a while, I gave in to my weaker side and went bigger. I must say that I miss the quick take-off I had with the 18's, but the "cool-factor" is definitely there 
Never been a fan of chrome, but similar to my plazma-finished BBS's, the PVM-finished Bremmers have a "darker" chrome finish. Here's a couple of pics...
Concav-ity FTW!

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)

Need some opinions, I've gone the SV Sport with 19s wanting to move up. Cars going to stay at the stock height but can't make a decision between 20s or 22s? If 20s what width and offset or same with 22s? I'm wanting to be flush with the fenders. So many decisions! Thanks for the help.

Considering new wheels
I am considering new wheels for my 2011 Nissan Maxima. The stock specs are:
2011 Nissan Maxima Specs
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 | Center Bore: 66.1 | Offset: 34-45mm | Rim width 18X8
The wheels I am considering are:
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 | Center Bore: 70.8 | Offset: +24 front / +22 Rear | Rim width 18X9 front 18X10 Rear
The bolt pattern is right, their slightly wider but that should not matter. I am going to continue using the stock tires at 245/45 18. The slightly larger hub bore should also not be an issue.
My primary concern is the slightly smaller offsets and how these will look on the car and in the fender wells. Also the new wheel has a 5.95" backspace that I am not sure if it would be an issue or not.
I am looking for feedback or any thoughts?

@WrightOne86, Thank you! I wanted to try out something new... I love being different and showing my creativity through my car!
@smittyblizzle, Thank you, and im running Nexen tires beacuse they stretch the best and the are the only ones that really sell the sizes I NEED.

Anybody know if 20x10 with an offset of +42 will cause any issues in the rear? Will be getting coilovers soon too so I would like to know if I should just stick with 20x8.5 +35 all around instead of the staggered look. If the 20x10 +42 will work, what size tire? Thanks in advance!

Ok, I want the CONVACE look but in order to get the most CONCAVE I have to go to 10.5 all around. Rear isnt a problem but will the front take 10.5? I dont want to strech the tires either. I have seen the latest gen accords pull it off and G37s. The drop would be just an Ebiach drop.
