I'm looking at a set of used, cheapo 16" wheels and the owner thinks they have a +40 or +45 offset. He has newer eclipse turbo and they come all the way out to the wheel well on his car and I know it's a +46 stock. My question is, what is the stock offset on the 4th gen maxima and will a 35, 40, or 45 look decent.

Here is a link to the wheels that I'm looking at:

it depends on the width of the wheel.... +45 is close to stock offset I think... I can tell you what looks good on my car from the wheels I have tried.... 17x9 +34 looks great on the rear.... but sticks out a few mm in the front.... 17x8.5 +40 looks great on the front ..... 17x9.5 +38 won't clear Z brakes on the front but looks good on the rear... 16x7.5 +45 looks like it should be factory

check my webshots site below.... first set is Z32 wheels 16x7.5 +45 second set is Enkei RPF1 17x8.5 +40 and 17x9.5 +38 (street wheels for my Z) last set is Halibrand CobraIII 17x9 +34 (track wheels with R compounds)

 

look at sig.. 48mm offset..

 

Alright, the offset is actually +35 and they are 16x7 rims so I think they would look decent. I guess they would look about the same as the Z32 rims because they would stick out 10mm more and are about 13mm more narrow. Am I right in thinking that they would be about 3.5mm closer to the edge of the car? [10-6.5(13x.5)=3.5]

Edit: Duh, I just remembered about the wheel calculator. It should come out to the edge by about 4mm more than the Z32 wheels so they should look decent. Thanks for the help guys.
