1997 Nissan Maxima Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Nissan Maxima—whether you own the GLE, GXE, or SE—uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 66.1mm hub bore. The stock wheel measures 15x6.5 with a 40mm offset. You can safely step up through 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, 16x7, 16x7.5, 17x7, 17x7.5, 17x8, or 18x7, all in non-staggered setup across all four corners.
Only wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern will fit your Maxima. Since your hub bore is exactly 66.1mm, use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore to ensure proper centering and eliminate vibration. Pushing significantly wider or running aggressive offsets risks contact with your fenders and suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we sell for your Maxima is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. You'll find quality options in stock from brands like Aodhan, BBS, Enkei, Gram Lights, Heritage Wheel, and Work Wheels, each ready to transform your sedan's appearance.
