Yes you can. You might need to roll the fenders a little, but you should be alright. More important what are the dimensions?

there are 20's on 4th gens. i am pretty confident 20's will fit 5th gens...

Rolling the fenders is like opening them up in a way or cutting them so they space out more...i think its something like that...u know, like them low cars that have the wheel going like inside the car lol

No need to roll the fenders, 20x8.5 will fit fine.

they will fit but with no drop or kit they will look like big rims on a car stock car, IMO pretty stupid too, do have 20's just to have 20's is okay but on a stock car it just looks dumb.

I have 20's on my car and they fit fine. Lowered w/ H&R springs right now but soon to be bagged. They rubbed for about a month but then it went away. I get a lot of compliments on my wheels, so I would highly reccomend it. People on the org don't really like 20's though but in the end it's your decision. Check out my homepage.

dont get me wrong I like 20's but they have to be right for the car, like your car they fit perfect, but do you think on a stock 5th gen they look good?

I'd roll 20s on a new BMW 7-series, but that's about it. 20s look to dam big on a midsize car like a Maxima. It almost looks cartoonish. 18s look the best, IMO.

i want 20s not to dip corners like a moron and smash the car up...i want 20s so it looks sick...

i will eventually do bags...anyone have a rough idea how much a good bag system is?

why settle for 18s while every monkey around has 18s...gotta seperate the men from the boys.

20s is also nice cause i can get a cool license plate like...

"DEY 20s", or "DEM 20s", or something childish like "BE COO"

or "DUB ZZZ"

finally got a digital camera...so ill upload pics of the whip soon enough. its a glacier white max...what tint would you guys do?

Air Bag systems can be anywhere between 600 to 3 g's depending on how good you want it, and how many tricks you want.

And to comment on people talkin about bending larger rims...That is because people pick up these cheap low quality wheels, I have hit massive and I mean massive dips, potholes and so forth on the 19"s and nothing has moved. It comes down to quality.

Those saying 20"s don't look rite I got news for ya, they look fine its teh quailty and look that suck. When picking any rim 2 things matter quality, and how it looks on the car, pick somthing that matches teh car not just any one you like...Theres lots that i like that look like *** on the car. Keep this all in mind.

Thgere is alot of good companys the same with teh ok ones and of course your bad ones. My suggestion is to come put with a big list and either post it For discuttion of feel free to email me and I can tell ya. But to sit here and make a list would take a very very long time.

YOu start by removing the old wheel, you then place the new one on, then you bolt it down...Next you then you drive like an old lady.

I have to admit, when i first got my rims, i didn't have the kit and i hated it. It looked way too high off the ground. Now, i like the way my car looks but i want to go a little lower for shows. I wouldn't reccomend getting dubs unless u have a kit and are lowered. I'm trying to get bags for my car from southwest but i'm putting $5000 into my system as we speak. Their airbag kits start at $1500 and are direct bolt on so i think that's what i'll get. Does anyone know how much installation is for air bags.
Thanx,
Lam

it's not all about the quality of the rim because i have a friend with volk gt7's in 18 and he bent 2 of them hitting a pot hole on the highway, it's all about the amount of stress they take and how you hit things. yes it matters if your have cheap wheels, they will bend easier but all rims can bend.

20's look alright as long as your max isnt 4-wheelin, you need to bag her or at least put some springs and a kit.. as far as i know there is only 1 maxima with 20s on bags, and it's the green 4th gen. there are a couple on bags on 19s, 4th and 5th gen..

install on bags can go from $500-1000
