Hey I have the 06/07/08 7 spoke maxima rims (17 x7) and wanting to move up to 18s. I know the bolt patter is 5 x 4.5 (114.3 mm). Will Mazda's rims fit, hub fitment, offset? Also, I see they went from a 4.5 spacing to 114mm....will 114mm fit on our car?

 

Mazda offset FTL.

 

center bore won't fit.. mazda has smaller center bore.. stick with nissan or infiniti rims and your fine!

 

G35 coupes ftw.

 

(may need other members to confirm the following)
several other car's OEM wheels will fit our cars. you need to find wheels with the bolt pattern "EXACTLY 5x114.3", center bore of "AT LEAST 66.1", and offset of between +35 and +45.

keep in mind, though, if the center bore is GREATER than 66.1, you will need hubcentric rings (basically an adapter that resizes the center bore of said rim), or else you will be "lugcentric", which means the wheel is held on by the lugnuts, but not the center. some people don't mind being lugcentric, but it makes me nervous.

IIRC:
most 5-lug mitsubishi wheels have 5x114.3 / 67.1
(for instance, lancer wheels)
most 5-lug mazda wheels have 5x114.3 / 67.1
(for instance, millenia wheels - by the way, very lightweight wheel)
almost all 5-lug nissan/infiniti wheels have 5x114.3 / 66.1
many aftermarket wheels have 5x100 AND 5x114.3, with a 70-something cb, obviously needs centering rings, and sometimes you also need tuner lugs due to the smaller size of the lug hole.

i would stray from anything else.

p.s. there is actually a wheel and tire section. you may get flamed for posting this here lol

 

personally, i think the sedans are better. i like unidirectional tread patterns, and you can't rotate staggered wheels with unidirectional treads. unless you pay the extra $5-$20 (depending on who you know lol) per tire to have them broken down and re-mounted...

o rly?

 

mazda center bore is to small they wont fit

 

... orly? first result on google shows that:

MILLENIA, 94-on, 15 X 6.5
PROTEGE, 02-on, 14 X 6
RX-7, 93-96, 16 X 8
626, 88-on, 15 X 6
929, 88-on, 15 X 6
MPV, 99-on, 15 X 6

All the above have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 67.1 center bore, and "high" offset, which is between +35 and +45

 

Thanks for the information! It was a lot of help!

 

Who/Which has staggered wheels.?

 

If the center bore information is correct, then apparently mazda changed center bore going from 4bolt to 5bolt wheels because I know for a fact the 4x100 miata wheels have too small a center bore to fit Nissan b13 sentra (that's what I was basing my personal experience on).. I was able to put 1998 200sx SE-R wheels on my Miata but not able to put Miata wheels on my 200sx because the center bore was too small.

 

the coupe wheels have a staggered width. 7.5" vs. 8" IIRC. my brother has them on his 5.5 gen with unidirectional treads, and hasn't rotated his tires once since he got them. the only way to do it is to break down all four tires and re-mount them. in other words, rotating JUST THE TIRES and not the wheels. it's even worse for wheels like the 300ZX T/T wheels, which are staggered AND unidirectional wheels. (R and L is embossed onto the wheel lol)

 

These '03 M45 18s have worked out pretty well...

 

how much do these weigh?

 

very nice, how much?

/borat

 

This is an old posting of mine. most ceners were larger than the maxima IIRC.

I was thinking OEM alloys from another car to replace my steelies. Made a list here.

Dude that almost looks photoshopped or why do your wheel wells look weird..did you roll them? Also you read tire looks a little off center.

 

im a g35er myself. Muranos (5 spoke) look awesome as well imo

 

^^^sorry but IMO they dont look good on a 4th(or any maxima at that), no matter how you try it still looks like a "truck/suv" wheel on a maxima. i might as wheel convert my max to six lug and put titan wheels on my maxima.

^^^=1
^^^i think those are the only infinity/nissan wheels that look perfect on a 4th gen, both the base model 17s & the 18's...

 

I had a 93 MX-6 running 04 (I think) 18's. (edit) I meant Maxima wheels.

Bolted up fine on the front, needed wheel spacers on the back because the bore was different and the wheel wouldn't fit flush.

So from front to back was different for me, but I haven't tried Mazda to Nissan.

 

why you gotta 1up me?
mazda starion FTW!!! lol

 

I have the 18' max se wheels on my 4th gen with 235/45 tires now

 

can someone help me.im new and cant post my own thread i got 18" 350z on my 98 max the rear rims are staged because my car is dropped 2.2 in the back. my rims hit the quarter panel at highspeeds. can i put the staged rims in the front will it effect my handling?

 

Hi, any body know the 17" staggered OEM 350z rims would fit on 4 gen maxima?

 

Alright... you got me.

Here's what it really looks like.

 

theres some great info in this thread! nice try turbo! lol car looks good tho

 

^^^if you roll your fenders or get skinnier tires it should fix the problem...
^^^ yes they do fit...

 

those wheels actually look good...

 

100% correct, I did try the same thing..
miata's rim don't fit on the 200sx at all.

 

To the guy with the red maxima with the Infiniti 18s what size tire are you running I got the 18" 350z wheels stagg and I'm going to do em black but not sure of wha tire to ae m planning on slammng the car on ksports

 

i had the rx-7 FD wheels on for a lil bit on my 4th gen. Fit perfect and looked good

 

Hey has anyone tried these 3.5 Altima SE wheels before? They're suttle, but look 10x better than 4th gen SE wheels.

 

altima ser, 05 35 18in, 06 maxima many othere muranos
