8". Do you really want OZ wheels. They are very nice wheels, but more on the heavy side like MOMO.

yea I am getting 17's too, I have an intrax drop though, what do you guys think? I am getting the Nakayama Racing Six Speeds, 17"x7.5 I think. And I think I am going to get those Nankang tires from discount tire direct.com, they are only like 92 bucks each for 17s, and they have a pretty good treadwear rating too of 340, The Kumhos I have now are 280 and they wore out like a SOB

I thought the racing six speeds doesn't come in the offset that fits the maxima. Wasn't Capmaxima99 running those? He had to use spacers.
