offsets for 4th gen!

Ok so I bought a pair of 18x9f +24 offset and 18x10r +24 offset. Now after ordering I feel like I'm not going to like the wheels and now decided to go with smaller wheels so for the wheel gurus in here what offset should I get?

16x9.5f +( )

17x10r +( )

I'm either going with that set up or 16x9.5 all around so also offset for 16x9.5 rear.

Thank u.

P.s MUST BE FLUSH! I'm slamming the car.

i think 16 and 17 look to small on maximas, you should try the 18 on when you get them, what type of rims did you buy?

Well I'm slammed so doesn't really look like small rims. Right now my order is in for some forgestar rims. But now I'm going with jline wheels.

16" is just too small. 17" is cool if you're low.

i use 8.5/9.5 +35 as reference. you can usually go off that, with some simple math, for flush. i say "usually" but when you get to the extreme lows the suspension starts doin funny things and you really can't predict what it's going to be.

i's say do 9.5" +30-35 all around and see what happens.

What's wrong with 16s lol. They look fine slamed and right tire size plus saves weight.

they look good on slammed euros and whatnot but i really doubt the max can pull em off. do your thing though... i just think you'll be disappointed with 16s and jlines aren't a cheap mistake to make.

with how messed up your geometry has to be i can't believe you're worried about weight.

I was going to start a thread asking about 17x8" with a +25 offset but after reading this I'll just pass on the idea...

Well me and the jline guy been talking and he said if I don't like the 16s I can send it back and get the bigger wheels. So ima see how I like the look of it and see what happens. Hopfully I like the look. Dnt really care if anyone likes it but me lol but I def got to see how it looks since I'm picky
