Will these fit on my 4th gen?

I'm looking into getting a set of used volks, but I wanted to run this by you guys before I do. Will 18 x 7.5 48+ offset and the rubbers r 225/35/18 fit properly on my 4th gen? And... will it clear a Cobra BBK? Thanks for your help in advance.

Offset is too high. May rub on the inside. On offset alone it won't clear the 300zx caliper. Depending on spoke design you'll need at least a 10mm spacer. What model are the Volks?

I'm a little confused...
So, the wheels WILL fit, but the BBK will not unless I get some spacers. Is this correct?

Correct. But at +48, it's definitely a Honda offset. Might be too high and rub the strut. It'll definitely rub on the inside tire well. If you want them, meet up with the seller and test fit them.

I suppose if you get 5mm spacers for the front and rear it'll work fine.

Depending on how much those Volks are going to set you back it might be better finding a set with a proper offset for the Maxima.

At any rate, test fit them, if you like them and if the price is real good just get them.

It will definately fit but it will rub in the inside fender wall. And u will need spacers to push them out a little. I know because i have 20 X 9 with a 45 offset. Hope this helps any.
