1996 Nissan Maxima Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1996 Nissan Maxima (GLE, GXE, or SE) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 66.1mm hub bore. The stock setup runs 15x6.5 at a 40mm offset. You can step up through 15 and 16-inch sizes, or go as large as 17 or 18 inches while staying safely within suspension limits. Since this model isn't staggered, you're free to run matching sizes all around.
The 5x114.3 pattern is your only option—no other bolt pattern will fit. Hub-centric rings are required if you choose a wheel with a bore larger than 66.1mm, ensuring your wheels sit properly on the hub. Aggressive offsets or unusually wide wheels risk contact with fenders or suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes we've listed to avoid costly rubs.
Every wheel we offer for your Maxima is confirmed to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our in-stock selection from Enkei, BBS, Work Wheels, Gram Lights, Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Vors, and Black Rhino to find the perfect fitment for your build.
