New here, bought new rims that don't fit need help

Hi guys I bought these 18" rims for my maxima and on the website it said they would be a good fit for my 06 maxima se but when I went to get them installed the lug pattern turned out different it was more spaced out on the rim. According to the site the bolt pattern is the perfect fit etc. I have on stock 18" rims on my car. Got a really good price on them from craigslist and they matched my car. Not sure what the problem is?? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...6&autoModClar= Plz help thanks

Your bolt pattern is 5x114.3 So the wheel you linked should fit, unless the craigslist seller , you might either be concerned with offset or bore size.

Might be a little more informative.

Are you sure the CL seller knew the exact BP of the car? So what deosn't fit, the bolts don't line up to the bolt holes? Or are they hitting your brakes, or is the hub too large to fit into the center bore of the wheel?

The bolts aren't lining up to the holes

Have you tried it? Sometimes it takes me a couple of tried when I'm putting mine back on. Maybe take some measurements off the wheel.

Use the middle one and measure away using the holes specified. 5x4.5".

I meant that might be why they don't fit because the holes are a 1/2" off. Sucks man ... sorry to hear.
