2016 Maxima RWD? or FWD? Staggered Rims?
Hi guys, I'm shopping for rims, and one guy was trying to set me up with a staggered fit, which I love, I had it on my Infiniti, but I know you don't want staggered on FWD cars for handling purposes, and its just not right. But he never flinched when I ask him about it. So I come home and Google it and am getting conflicting answers. Any advice? Anyone have a staggered fit on their car with no issues? Is this car FWD? Thank you all for your support in my time of air headedness...

As to staggering, I have never been a fan because it means the tires can never be rotated in the usual pattern, and sometimes complicates getting a really good deal when replacing the tires. There can also be handling issues if you are an aggressive driver. But I don't know of any significant reason why you can't do it if you will be driving the car in a normal fashion.

The 1981 through 1984 (1st generation) Maximas were RWD. But, beginning with the 2nd gen 1985, Maximas have always been FWD. I don't see this changing again, as there are too many advantages of FWD in a family sedan.
