Ummm, I recommend OEM NGK:)

Coppers are cheaper but won't last.
Iridiums are fancy new technology, but guess what? In the Maxima they
don't last either.

The OEM NGK Plats will last up to 100 K in your car, or maybe get the
NGK double tipped platinums. Change 'em and fuhgetaboutit:)

Would the Maxima ignition be strong enough to handle it if you gapped them
to .50 or .55 ?

I can't really say, but my guess would be that even if it does work, you
might be sacrificing low end torque and drivability for any added top
end gains, if that.
