think these rims would fit a '92 3rd gen maxima? (both are 5 bolt). also, is the rubber transferable or no? (got stock rims now)

thanks

No. those are 5x100mm (5x4") bolt pattern. Maximas are 5x114.3mm (5 x 4.5") bolt pattern.

Ours is same as 5-lug Mustang, eclipse, 240SX, 300ZX, 350Z, etc etc etc.

dang. guy was a hour away each way so it would have been a trip anyways

i'll keep looking. i put up a local ad and ive had a reply but the rims were pretty pricey. i'll try to hunt down some 240sx or 300zx rims. does the year of the rims matter? or were the bolt patterns the same throughout the gens?

think these might fit?

picked em up. 4 17" mitsubishi eclipse rims with tires, tires are new and rims are mint. $325 originally for the set but the ad was 2 months old so i got him to $300. alot nicer than the other ones i already bought

one question, is it a straight switch? i called canadian tire asking how much it would be to switch them, and i got the crankiest guy. he said $125 first, then said well if theres tires on the rims already, $22. he then went on about how he didnt think eclipse rims would fit and i told him 3 people said they would and the lug pattern is dead on. he asked if the lugs and bolts from my current rims would fit the eclipse ones and i said im not sure but thanks for the help

will the lugs and bolts fit? dont want to go and have the guy yanking my head off. he said if the lugs and bolts wont fit he wont do it. im tempted to go somewhere else to get it done but canadian tire is the cheapest to get it done
