Also check craigslist. You need a wheel with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 (also known by some as 5x4.5)

center bore is the diameter of the hole in the middle of the wheel. if it is too small, the wheel won't bolt all of the way down (and can get crooked, and wobble as you drive, if you try anyway).
the problem you seem to have is the offset is too high. that is the distance from the mating surface of the brake hat to the center of the wheel. too high, and your wheel hits the strut. too low, and your wheels stick out.

Some people pay a lot for this - good wheel spacers are $200+/axle. Oh yeah, offset is how far the mounting surface is from the center of the wheel. Spacers decrease offset which you need if your wheels are hitting the strut. I believe our stock offset is 45mm with variations for SE and i30t models. You should check in the wheel/tire forum for more details. Here's a link to the sticky if you're too lazy:

A quick fitment question
I'm looking for a set of used winter rims for my '97 Maxima and have come across the following:
- a set from a 1989 Mazda RX-7
- a set from a 1992 Infiniti Q45
Will these fit my Maxima? They are both 5 x 114.3

from what i have heard and remember reading the wheels the FC wont fit cause the center bore isnt big enough. as for the Q45, they will fit...

Hey there - Both will fit, but the Mazda will be a little loose (1 mm); I tried rims off a 626 and had a slight high speed vibration. I don't know if they make a 1mm adapter ring, but if your hubs are cleaned (no rust) you'll have that slack. Also, the centre bore may not allow dust cap to fit inside rim (may depend on rim design- 626 was too small), thus not allowing proper mounting against hub. I had to remove the rear dust caps (front doesn't have caps). If you can deal with these issues and get them for a good price, they'll work.
