I have a 1995 Maxima GXE. Currently my snow sires are mounted on Steel Rims,
with hubcaps.

Every year I have been changing the snow tires and summer tires, back and
forth. I have been told that this does no harm, but it seems to me that the
bead in the edge of the tire must be getting worn with all this stretching.

In any event, I thought that this spring I would have the summer tires
mounted on some good looking wheels. I have been looking for some
specifications on what I need, ie; bolt pattern, offset and the like, the
stuff that keeps the tires in the proper place on the vehicle.

So, I'd like to know the specs, I'd also like to know if any other cars
wheels would fit the Maxima un-modified.

I currently have Yokohama Avid Touring Tires, 205 65 15, so I want to mount
those on some nice looking wheels.

If anyone has some opinions on the matter, even suggestions of wheels to
look at, let me know.

Regards, rtt

Your best bet is ebay. All Maxima/Altima/Infinity I30 wheels will fit. I
would assume that even 350z wheels might work (check that 1st). There are
some great deals on 17 and 18's that are factory off of newer Maximas on
Ebay. I think I saw a set of 2003 or 2004 17's going for like 500 or 600
bucks the other day.

Scratch the ebay thing. I was just looking in the Maxima.org forum for
wheels and tires. Some real good deals in there. Take a look.

When I first got my 95 Maxima SE (May 94), extra SE wheels were $295 each.
So for competition tires I used J30 takeoffs which were $45 each from
tirerack.com at the time (Q45 wheels also fit an were $40 each). I
imagine there are plenty of 95-99 Maxima/I30 alloy wheels around now,
although, some of them are 16".

Just today I installed some 6 spoke OEM Altima wheels on my 91 Maxima, the old ones
were 205/65/15 new ones 205/65/16 fit like a glove, no clearance problems, definately
better looking than the OEM turbine style!!!!!!!!! These were factory wheels with
continental all seasons, I can send ya a jpeg if you want e'mail me directly. Just
have to get some covered acorn style nuts now.
