Welcome to NICO, you should find tons of helpful information and some nice guys here.

There are a few threads that discuss this floating around, but here's the Y33 (97-01 Q45 chassis code) "check in thread" and a car with some FX45 20" wheels. zer...20350

Also, IIRC, there's also at least one Y33 running Murano 5 spoke 18" wheels. It maybe on the first page or two of the check in thread.

Try some searches for Y33 in the topic.

Most 5-lug Nissan wheels will fit. FX, G/Z, Maxima, Murano, M, etc.

Suggest you research and decide on the tire you want first, then work back into an appropriate wheel.

Lots of posts on wheels, even on bling anchors. Enjoy your reading!

I've got a set of Y33 turbines(?) stock wheels that are 16 inch. I'm about to list them for $400 for the set if you're interested. I don't have a picture yet but any 97+ that has stock non-touring wheels will be the same.

Smart to go with factory, makes chossing the right wheel easier.

From what I have read, you can essentially bolt up any 5 bolt Nissan wheel. Certainly anything recent bolts up.

I am runnign 2005 Nissan Murano wheels on my Q. And, yes, it was just a matter of mounting and balancing.

Yep, the wheels have a 30 mm offset compared to the stock 43mm(?). This moved the wheels further "out" but I thought the stock wheels were too far "in" anyway. The rears with 255/45/18 fit withour any problem, I had 255/45/18 on the front and the tires were very close to the bottom of the spring mount and one tire rubbed on my bent right front strut. I picked up 245/45/18's and they fit fine. A 1 inch lowering is in the future.

Not the new 2006 M wheels though! Those have very high offset and are almost guaranteed to touch suspension components (unless used with a spacer - which are evil, imho).
