I would like to get the 19" Maxima rims but they have a 50mm offset and tires are 245/40/19

will they fit flush if I just purchase 10mm spacers? Thanks in advance.

If they are 19x8.5 +50 like the M45 sport rims, I'll be able to tell you how far in they will be after tomorrow when I put mine on.

From what I understand, they'll definitely be flush with 10mm spacers, as that'll essentially put the wheel at a +40mm offset, which in many cases is flush with the fender. Although, I've heard several ppl talk about +30s being flush or whatnot... so I guess we'll see what mrod says. Do you have your M wheels on yet dude? I wanna see!!

Hey guys, I got the wheels on yesterday but had to fly out to NC for work, so no pictures, sorry. The fronts are fine where they are IMO. The rears definitely need about 10mm to get them even with the fronts. I didn't have time to measure, I just estimated with a piece of string since I had to get going. I'll update the numbers when I get back home this weekend.

On a side note, I got 245/35/19 tires and they are TINY!! Man, I am so afraid of driving around with such little sidewall.

About 5mm front and between 10-15mm rear.

Yep, no spacers. Except for the tiny sidewall I'm pretty happy with the appearance.

No drop. I was contemplating it, but the ride is so bumpy as it is that I think she will stay at this height.

+1 for the drop - but I highly recommend going about it the proper way and doing coilovers if you're worried about the harshness of the ride. Several people that have gotten coils after driving on eibachs will attest to the fact that the ride is much better on the coils, and you can just adjust the dampening to the softest setting. That way - baller looks and maintaining comfort.
