96 I30 with 18" 2004 SE wheels

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any pictures of an I30 with the 2004 Maxima SE 18" wheels? I just picked up a set with 245/45/18 all around, and I'm trying to picture what it will look like.

Also, I know there is a chance of rubbing on 4th gen maximas that are lowered, but I was wondering if anybody has put these wheels on the 4th gen I30. I know the fenders and fender liners are different, so I'm not sure if the 4th gen rubbing rule applies to me.

I could do a test fit, but it's freezing cold outside, and I thought I'd try here first to see if any 4th gen I30 owners have tried this. I'd appreciate any pics or comments.

245/45 is your problem. That'll rub even on A33s in the rear.

235/40/18 will probably be a better bet for you.

Just a quick update: I went back to my 16" CSA rims as the the 18" 2004 Max SE rims were to heavy, and I definitely felt it.

Yeah that should work too.

It's 245/45 that was the problem.
