that's the kicker... without a drop, i would have to encourage you to stay stock.

but anyway, here are some OEM 18" Murano rims (pre '06)

Get 18x8 if you are going mainly for looks and 17x8 for performance.

But considering the size of our wheel gaps and the way stock Maximas handle, I think it would be wiser to modify your suspension before getting new wheels.

Seriously

The Maxima has horrendous wheel gap along with the jello handling to go with it in stock form.

19" Axis with coilovers. Pretty rough ride. I'd go 18's for better performance next time.

17s for all around performance, 235/45s. 18s for slight performance loss, slight more show.
