Will They??

I've searched, measured and looked at charts but I still want expert opinion or someone that has done it. I would also appreciate some pictures of cars with wheels and tires of the specs I mentioned for 6Gen Maxima.

Im not new to custom world but I am to Nissan Maxima. I have a 2006 SE and I really like the wheels off the new 370Z. They are 19s made by Rays Engineering. The specs are:

19x9 front with 40mm offset
245/40/19

19x10 rear with 30mm offset
275/35/19

According to everything I read, charts I looked at and measurements I took, these will stick out too much but I don't want to give up on the idea just yet until my suspicions are confirmed. Thanks for any insight and help.

They should fit. If they dont.... make them fit.

At the most, all you might have to do is run a smaller tire. 6th gen fenders are "roled" from the factory if i'm not mistaken so you wont really have to worry about modding the fender too much. Unless you wanna pull them a little.

What suspension are you on by the way.

Right now stock but I think I might go with a mild drop from Progressive with Bilstein struts/shocks.

You don't think they will stick out past the fenders??? That's my concern, since they are so close to being flush right now. Acording to the charts I looked at it shows this:

Current Wheel Specs- 18x7.5" Offset 40mm

New Wheel specs 19x9 front and 19x10 rear

These measurements are compared to current setup. Got the info from http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

For the rear: Inner Clearance: 22mm Less
Outer Position: Extend an extra 42mm

For the front: Inner Clearance: 26mm Less
Outer Position: Extend an extra 12mm
