I30 front and wheel flares on 5th gen questions

Plain and simple I just want to know these 2 things

1. Has anyone ever ran the Infiniti I30 front end on a 00 Maxima (I would like to see a couple pics) in my head the front end should probably line up considering that the I30 and the Maxima are practically the same car. I like the I30 front better than the Maxima front but I want to keep my Maxima because I like the taillights more than I do the I30s lol.

2. Has anyone ever ran Fender Flares? and where did u get them?
I have some really wide wheels that I want to run but im still not sure off because of how much poke they have. Ive looked into fender flares but found nothing for the Maxima, im not looking to "stance" the car I just like the meaty tires and NOT slammed look on like 17's. Current specs of wheels 17x9 et24 in the front 17x9 et24 with a 15mm spacer in the rear making it a et9 with 225/45r17 tires but looking to move to 215/50r17 tires for a light stretch look but still have meat on the wheels.

Thanks in advance for any useful info.

I'm not aware of anyone doing it. Seems like I heard someone with an I30/35 swapping to a maxima front, but that might have been something I ran across on Cardomain or you tubing.

Should be doable. But, you will need to swap the entire front, headlights and hood included. Well, unless you can come up with a solution to the grill on the I30/35 hood issue.

I've seen this in the Bronx on the Bruckner Expressway service road at a red light. He was going westbound. I was going eastbound. He had the i35 front on the maxima body. Looked real clean. I loved it. Sorry I dont have pix but its been done. Would love to see this again.
