Lightbulb Nissan Maxima 8th Gen on 370z Wheels

Hi All,

I have been checking the forum for quite sometime and just joined with you today as I wanted to share my experience with my 8th Gen 2018 Maxima the S trim and get some insights from you !

I'm Egyptian who lives in Saudi Arabia and just installed the 370z Rims on my Maxima , as most of you know the rear wheels are 19x10 which are a bit wide and looks like they are getting out of the finders. I really need your insights on the best tire fitment for the 4 wheels and whether I should roll the finders or not since I face some rubbing when I have someone sitting in the back and have a tough bump. So, long story short, if you can help me with this it will be great!
1. Currently the tires are 245/40 on the front, 255/35 in the back. What will be the best fitment minding having best performance, handling & stability, and also avoid rubbing.
2. Suspension is stock, if I installed the Eibach lowering kit, will it rub or not? And from where I can get them?
3. Should I roll the finders?

I will leave you with some pictures .

I have the same set up however, Im running 255.35.19 all around. Im also on Ksport Coilovers with a .5 inch of space on all corners. My rear fenders are rolled and I have 15mm spacers in the front to kind match the rear or make the rear poke out not so noticeable. I will post a picture up this evening.

Lovely! I just read your signature with the mods added to your car and I salute you for that (Y).

I checked some replies on the forum and some people are recommending 245/40 all around should be best fitment, what do you think? Do you recommend that I should go 255/35 or 245/40?

I look forward to some pictures of your ride though

Looks great! I was thinking about going with those wheels too, but they are listed for $1500 with tires on Craigslist locally so... Not doing that lol. But they look great on your car

Just noticed that you have added the pictures! Looking great man!

I'm changing the tires soon, 255/35 all around is your call rather than 245/40 all around?

I personally don't care for the looks of these wheels for the maxima.. to me they seem small looking for a 19" maybe its because they're so open on the face, my SR wheels on my stock height S model seem to fill the wheel well out more ( and look better IMO )

To fix your fitment issues maybe you could find someone who would be willing to trade the 19X10s for the 19X9s and you could run a square set up? so you can get rid of the wheel poke .... just my opinion... either way good luck !

I had 245/45/18s & recent installed a set of 2013 370z rims (staggered) so the rear sticks out a bit. I would scrub every bump. I replaced rears with 245/40/18s & I STILL SCRUB. PLEASE HELP
