I know someone has G35 wheels on their max but don't know who.

Will the G35 wheels even work on the Max since the car is RWD and the Max is FWD?

as long as the rims are the same size (not staggered like a 350Z) they will work. If they are staggered you won't be able to rotate your tires.....FWD vs RWD doesn't matter, since you rotate your tires anyways.

G35C are staggered. 1/2 in wider in rear.
but you can use the same size tires on all four so you can rotate
not the smartest thing to do, but it can be done

I got g35's on my max. I think they look great on a maxima.

G35C wheels are not staggered. Both the front and back are 18x8 with a 30mm offset. The tires are different though: 225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rear. They track edition 350z wheels are staggered 18x8.5 in the rear IIRC.

ULISES and pablosal, u got PM

i think i remember someone like a month or 2 back puting 04 Maxima 18s on their 02.

G35C wheels on a non-dropped maxima doesnt look good in my opinion. You gotta drop the car and then it will look much better with those rims on.

The inch gap on the stock G35C makes it look real nice with those wheels

pablosal

Yeah, the G35 wheels are not staggered. All four are 18x8. Only the tires differ. I'm probably going to go with some 235/40-18's all around so I can rotate them with ease.
2001SE, you have a point & yes, my Maxspeeds are on the way, can't wait!

I have the 350Z wheels on... They will actually be going on sale once i get my new wheels. (approx end of april). they are all 17X8. I dont have the staggered setup. I bought 4 rear wheels so I can rotate them. More pics on my page

They are lighter than stock 17s, and have more rim clearance for brake upgrades...

5 spd ...your car literally looks like a 4x4, gotta drop that thing and get some low profile tires

my breakover angle aint that great, but it's great for rockcrawling, especially the loose stuff. right now I have the stock suspension, and will look into getting a set of coilovers soon. as far as the tires go, I dont want to put in the money just to get thinner rubber. I am frugal and will wait unti these tires wear out.

^ i was thinking it might not look as bad if he had the se sideskirts. springs would definitely help.

I think it looks decent even without a drop, but imagine how it looks with a little work:

wow! That's cool! I can't wait for my springs!

maximazero: seriously dude, when are u going to get a job at bomex or kamanari...

Those 350z wheels don't look much different than the stock Maxima SE wheel.

My G35 Coupe wheels will be on shortly.

G35 18X8 Wheels with a +30 offset and Maxspeeds spells trouble. It appears that you may run into a rubbing problem. From My understanding, you can't go below a +35 on an 8" wheel. If this thread is correct in that the offset of the G35 18x8 is a +30, then I see trouble coming your way.

Good Luck, I hope that I am wrong or your offset isn't a +30.

Lumbee1

Yes the offset is 30mm but it only rubs with a 245 tire. Rolling fenders will also help.

Edward Lee

iTrader: (3)

That sounds good, only with a 245.

pablosal

Yeah, when I get my springs, I'm going to go with 235/40/18 all around to avoid rubbing & I'll also buy some new shocks and install them all 3 at once. There's a nearby customizing shop, KMP, and I'll schedule something with them. Then its straight to Alignment Plus!
