Need advice on Rims

Hi guys this is my first post I have 2009 Maxima I bought used very clean precision gray I'm thinking about rims on it but not sure about what size I've seen 20's but they look small I don't want to put too much strain on my car by adding certain rims can any one give my any suggestions or ideas?

You should look around before you ask. That way you may find the answer to what your looking for as well as learn some other new stuff along the way. Not to mention all of the users rides pics with wheels on them that are on that thread. But anyways I am with you on the 20s looking to small but that's just my taste. I just ordered some 22x8.5 with a +42 offset. Some say +35 will work but rub the fender when they hit a dip. So I went with the +42 which sits in further and I can add spacers to make them stick out further if need be. Hope this answered your question.

I've had that happen too, so I'll accept that reason. As for your question, the general idea around here is that 20's are a good size, anything bigger like 22's will start to detract from ride quality/comfort. If you really want to get wheels looking right in the wheel well, go with 20's and also look into Eibach lowering springs. It's a modest drop, but does wonders to the fender gap.

Last thing, and I'll ask nicely, please make sure to use the search function. Lots of new people come here and through this forum they have huge amounts of knowledge at their fingertips if they'll just search for it, but instead choose to be impatient and post their question and make the people who have already answered it repeat themselves. In one of the stickies, there are TONS of posts, with many pics, of different wheel setups for our cars.

20s really are ideal for this car.

See how the 20s doesn't overwhelm the car?

Def go 22's I have 20's now and just ordered 22x8.5 +42 offset wheels for mine. 20's just arent sufficient IMO unless you are going to lower it.

Can you post pics of your current set up with 20's?
Thanks.
