I'm looking into a set of wheels
Front 235/40ZR18 18x8.5 w/ 38 offset
Rear 275/35ZR18 18x9.5 w/ 44 offset
Will this fit on my 96 max? Will the rear tire stick out of the fender well?
I want to know this before buying.
Thanks for all help

Ummmm no offence, but putting on wider rims on the rear of a Maxima is a bit "ricey" because the Maxima is FWD. If you had a BMW it would be one thing, but on a Maxima it won't look good. The only reason high powered RWD cars use wider rear tires is mostly for looks, then a bit of added traction and handling.

BTW, a 9.5" rim won't work on a Maxima. It's too wide. Your be rubbing on the fender lips and suspension. Go with a 7-8" rim.
