I got a great deal on some brand new 18's straight off of 6th gen maxima. I was wondering if anyone else runs these and if they will work?

Im Running 245/45/18 Michelin's on Zenetti Mystic wheels on my 03 Maxima im running stock height and no issues at all.
I fell like they fill out the wheel well and give a much smoother ride than stock.

Do you have room to lower? If so how much?

I Have 245 45 18 Continental Extremes And There Is A Rubbing Issue If You Have More Than One Person In Rear And Hit Any Type Of Bump Or Dip In The Road. It Hits The Inside Of Wheel Well. My Suspention Is Stock, No Lowering And It Still Rubs But Then Again You Must Compare Good With The Bad. The Good Is It Looks Much Better In The Wheel Wells, Gives A Much Smoother More Luxury Bouncy Feeling Instead Of The Harsh Bumpy Feeling With Stock And I Even Have The Stock 16's Which Have Plenty Of Side Wall Compared To 17" And The 245 45 18's Are Much Smoother Than Both. Bad News Is They Seriously Slow The Car Down, Can't Corner As Well And Worst Of All They Raise The Entire Car Up About A 1/2 Inch To Inch. I Don't Race And Although It Slowed The Car Down Considerably It's Still Fast Enough For Me And I Just Simply Coul'nt Stand The Harsh Bumpy Ride That She Had Stock So To Counter Raise I Put Class Stillen Kit On And Now Shes Just As I Want Her..........shes Perfect For Me And EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T FIT 3 PEOPLE IN REAR I STILL CAN HAVE ONE BACK THERE SO TO ANY MORE PASSANGERS ANYWAY..LOL

I bought some 05 maxima wheels and tires for 500 + tax. It was a great deal brand new. 245/45 /18. They do rub on back when i go on dips. I was thinking if U should just get 225/40's instead.
