do 15' rims fit on 5th gen Maximas?

I'm going to pick up a cheap set of 15 inch rims/tires to throw on for the winter and just wanted to make sure it would clear the calipers. I know my max (2000) shares the same brake setup as the 4th gens and some 4th gens came with 15's. So can someone just verfiy if 15 inch rims fit with no problems? THANKS!

5th gen - yes (early '00 gxe's came with 15" steelies)

5.5 gen - no (15s won't clear 02-03 front calipers)

hope this helps

U can do a modification to the calipers on the 5.5's to get them to fit. I did...I use 15 inch honeycomb's when I go drag racing.

What did you do? I need new tires for my 03 max's TE rims, meanwhile my 95 has slightly used all-season tires with lots of thread left on honeycombs.
