Yes they will fit... I tried the wheels from my brother's old MX-6 on my Maxima once just for fun.

Make sure they are 5x114.5 pattern, and have ~40mm offset.

This is good advice but there is another important consideration. The diameter of that large center hole has to be the same as the Maxima.

True. Toyotas have the same bolt patterns as Nissan, but the center bore is a bit larger. Finding the right size hubcentric rings may allow you to fit "off-sized" rims on your Maxima. When I ordered my rims from Tirerack, it included hubcentric rings.

If the hub diameter is too large, centering rings may be useful. However there are some wheels which have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern with a hub hole smaller than the Maxima's. Example: certain Honda V6 models. In this case you are just out of luck. Centering rings won't help. The wheels won't fit.

The rims I use have a centerbore that's larger than Nissan. Despite that, I have no problems w/ vibrations. It does put more importance on centering the lug nuts though.

I do know of some guys putting Lexus rims on their maxima. But it doesn require some machining by a qualified machinist.

Is that for all models of Lexus's? They got some decent looking wheels on the newr ones.
