Axis Hiro wheel/Tire question
I know this is debatable, but I want to get some opinions before I spend my hard earned cash. I have a 1995 stock GLE. First on the mod list is a suspension followed by rims and tires. I am leaning towards H&R springs paired with Tokico Illuminas. Comments on this pairing? Pros Cons?
As for wheels, I am DEFINATELY going with Axis Hiro's 18x18.5, offset 45mm wrapped with Toyo Proxies 4. Now for the tire question. I'm wanting go go with 245/40/18. On Tirerack, it is recommended to get tires that are 235/40/18. With this wheel size, offset and tire size will they stick out too far? Any rubbing issues that any of you forsee?
Finally, Does anyone have pics of this setup on a 4th generation they can post? I've seen the 5th generation on Axis Hiros, but I can't locate pics on a 4th.
My car is the silver metallic with a purple pearl with black leather. (I think it's fairly rare, I haven't seen many). I plan on posting pics along the way so everyone can check it out. I appreciate any comments..........

I never thought the offset was too high. I believe the Axis Hiro 18x8.5 only comes in 45mm offset, please correct me if I'm wrong. You don't think 255/40 would have any rubbing issues? Wouldn't this width stick out a little far given the offset? Thanks for the comments, anyone else?

First I want to say Hi everybody, I got my '03 Maxima SE about a month ago and been reading these forums ever since. I'm still a noob though so bear with me
I also like Axis Hiro wheels (18x8.5 in particular), but TireRack doesn't have them and I couldn't find the correct offset.
As far as the tire size goes, I still dont get it. Tire rack shows 235/45/18 for wheels 18/7.5, 18/8.0, 18/8.5. Wouldn't you need a wider tire for a wider wheel? And would different wheel width make any difference for a maxima?

Nice choice of wheels. Tirerack.com doesn't carry Axis wheels, but lots of other shops sell them. There's even a 3rd gen member on the .org that sells Axis wheels for dirt cheap. I forgot his name, but I'd go to him.

Regarding tire size I have 245/40/18's on my 5th gen but I had the same tires and wheels on my 4th gen on an 8.5" rim with 42mm offset, no rubbing issues, but 255's will rub at full lock. Check out my domain for pics.
