Question Need Help - 21 inch Rims over 20??

Hey Guys! I can't tell you how much I have learned since buying my 2017 Maxima SR Midnight (Pearl White) on 10/13/17 reading through this community and forum. Already had car in shop to have it installed with the Stillen cold air intake,Stillen Exhaust. Currently it is in the shop having Avery Dennison carbon fiber wrapped for chrome delete and roof (Pics to come very soon). I am struggling with what wheel if any I want to get for this car next... Love the factory 19's but the gap is just a bit much for me and I am too old to put coilovers or springs on the car lol So searched the forum and see that most are putting 20's then dropping.. Also reading that 22's will totally screw up a bunch of stuff (IMO looks nice and fills the gap). Searched and Searched but couldnt find anything on if some one had done 21 inch wheels. Looking for as much intel on this discussion from 20-22 inch an opinions (Offesets....lug pattern etc). Can't wait to get car back and share the pictures so I can get some feedback from everyone

Thanks so much - Josh

21 inch will be crazy expensive, the only way to delete the gap will be a drop.

I didn't even know they made a 21 inch wheel and tires...as stated, so rare, you're liable to make things more complicated and expensive. Even 20's seems a bit steep in price considering the amount of comfort you'll likely lose in the tradeoff. For me the best bang for buck is always 18 or 19. Of course if all you are concerned with is hemorrhaging cheddar just to get a few dudes to look at your car and go...cool...then that's ok too. Also, as stated, the gap can't be solved without some kind of drop.

Totally get it! To each there own. I went more for the luxury side no DUBZ will be going on this one. Was looking at Asanti and or FR2 or Vorisner. Hopefully will have finished product done by weekend once the diffuser and splitter are done. Apparently the matte black paint was a bad idea and couldn't get wrapped. Have to get them done in gloss black before the wrap will take.

I'd have to see 21's .. there is a point when its too big.

Have you considered just sticking to an aftermarket 19" rim with mild lowering?
