Can I pull it off???

I really like these wheels, but I dont know if I can pull them off with my 5.5 gen.

18X8 (20mm offset) for the fronts
18X9 (20mm offset) for the rears





Here is how my car looks now:


what do you think? will they even fit well? I want them to work, but I think i will need some serious spacer action to get them right...

they should fit if you stretch the tires a bit. I think someone with a 4th gen got similar style wheels and it look awesome, but I'm honestly not sure about this one.

thats a heavily euro inspired wheel, probably won't look great on a 5g+. i think a 4g could pull em off though.

spacer would not be necessary, more likely you'd need a flat roll and maybe even a slight pull.

cliffs: fitment could be superb but the style is all wrong.

IMHO, those wheels are ugly. I would definitely stick with your murano wheels. They look great on your car.

fitment is great. BUT like BlackonBlack said, styling is all wrong.

soon as one person says something about the styling, the whole entire forum comes on and say the exact samething, who cares if you like the styling the question at hand is will they fit... i would love to see some pics of a maxima (moreso 5th gen) with wheels with offsets like that, im looking at some 18X8 and 18X9 with +25mm offset so if his fit or somebody have a for sure answer, this wouldnt just be helping the OP but also be helping others to get answers...

It can be made to work i guess. It probably wont look right unless your tuckin the tire completely though.

And like others have said, the styling leaves something to be desired. TSW makes alot of nice wheels. These just happen to be one of them I'm not too fond of.

or you could worry about your car and advice given to you. the op asked if he could "pull it off". that could mean a couple things from fitment to overall styling. "will they even fit well?" is thrown in there as an afterthought if you ask me. want more specific answers? ask more specific questions.

I know it may be hard to believe, but it is possible that several people have the same opinion.

I perceived the OP's post to be asking for both their opinions of the wheels and what people thought about the fitment.

I apologize to the OP if he didnt want opinions on the rims themselves.

jeebus... people, he's asking for an opinion in terms of like or dislike and also fitment. everyone entitled to their opinion so let it be. in the end, it is all that persons judgement whether or not HE likes it or not. it's already been confirmed by multiple members that fitment is good. if you want to see fitment in that sizing, do it yourself. nothing happens just sitting around waiting for it to happen. make it happen.

Those would look better on a bigger car, like a euro sedan or maybe a 6th gen.
