About This Nissan Maxima S 2010 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Nissan Maxima S 2010 sits on a set of 19×8.5 / 19×9.5-inch Rohana RC10 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Rohana for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Nissan Maxima S builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the Rohana RC10 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Rohana RC10 on the Nissan Maxima S 2010
I walked around this 2010 Maxima S at the show, and the Rohana RC10s immediately grabbed my attention. Running a 19x8.5 in the front and a 19x9.5 in the rear gives this sedan a serious, aggressive rake. These sizes provide just enough width to fill the wheel wells without looking cartoonish.
The 35 offset on all four corners is the secret sauce here. It pushes the wheels right to the edge of the fenders without forcing you to hack up your metal. The 35 offset also clears the stock Nissan calipers easily, so you do not need to worry about clearance issues.
The hub bore on these wheels fits the Nissan hub perfectly. We hate running hub rings if we can avoid them, and this setup keeps everything hub-centric and tight. You get that solid, factory-style vibration-free ride while looking way better than stock.
Looking at the RC10 design, those spokes reach all the way to the outer lip. This creates an optical illusion that makes the 19-inch wheels look even larger. The rear 19x9.5 setup gives you a much deeper barrel lip compared to the front. That depth adds a layer of sophistication that flat-faced wheels just cannot match.
The coilovers on this build transform the entire stance. By dropping the car, you tighten up the fender gap and make those RC10s look like they belong there. You have to be careful, though, because that 35 offset will get close to the inner fender liner if you go too low.
If you slam it, you might need a slight roll on the rear quarter panels. I checked the clearance during the shoot, and it sits right on the edge of perfection. Just watch your speed over bumps, and you will be fine.
This fitment is exactly how a Maxima should sit. It respects the body lines while giving the car a wider, more planted aesthetic. You can tell the owner did their homework on the backspacing and suspension geometry.
What We Recommend for Nissan Maxima S 2010 Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 19-inch diameter. Anything smaller looks lost in the Maxima's big wheel arches, and 20s often ruin the ride quality. 19s provide the best balance of looks and daily drivability.
For the offsets, stay between 30 and 40. A 35 offset is the gold standard for this platform. It keeps the scrub radius within a safe range and prevents that weird wandering feeling in your steering wheel.
I always tell people to go with a staggered setup if you want that rear-drive look. Even though the Maxima is front-wheel drive, the 9.5-inch width in the back creates a much better profile. It gives the car a muscular haunch that the stock wheels totally lack.
Avoid excessive tire stretch unless you are going for a strict show build. A meaty tire setup protects your rims from potholes and keeps the traction you actually need. Stick to a tire size that keeps the sidewall proportional to the rim width.
Common mistakes? People buy wheels that are too narrow and then try to fix it with giant spacers. That puts unnecessary stress on your wheel bearings and looks cheap. Spend the money on the right offset from the start.
If you do end up running aggressive tires, be ready to roll your fenders. It is a cheap and easy insurance policy against paint cracking and tire rub. Do it once, do it right, and enjoy the clean look.
Style and Build Analysis
The Machined finish on these Rohana RC10s is a brilliant choice for this Maxima. It adds a premium, bright contrast against the darker body colors. When the car rolls, the way the light catches those machined surfaces is incredible.
The split-spoke design of the RC10 adds a layer of complexity that feels expensive. It leans toward a luxury-sport vibe rather than a track-rat look. This fits the Maxima’s identity as a four-door sports car perfectly.
Proportion is everything with this car. The Maxima has long, sweeping lines, and these wheels accentuate that length. They do not overpower the car, but they definitely demand a second look from anyone walking by.
I have seen plenty of Maximas with cheap knock-off wheels, and they always look underwhelming. The RC10s look high-end because the spokes are refined and the finish is top-tier. It elevates the entire aesthetic of the vehicle.
The stance is low, tight, and purposeful. It is the kind of build that makes people stop and ask what kind of suspension you are running. It has that "factory-plus" energy that every enthusiast dreams of achieving.
Compared to other builds we have seen, this one is restrained but effective. It is not trying to be a race car or a drift missile. It is a clean, classy street build that nails the fundamentals.
Why We Love This Build
Seeing this Maxima parked under the streetlights reminded me why we love this hobby. The Machined finish on the Rohana RC10s pops against the paint, creating a high-contrast look that feels both luxurious and aggressive. The stance is spot-on, filling the wheel arches just enough to hint at the coilover upgrade underneath.
Everything about this car feels intentional and clean. It hits that sweet spot where form finally meets function without sacrificing the daily driver comfort we all need. We cannot help but stop and stare every time it rolls past the shop.
If you want to transform your own Maxima from a commuter into a head-turner, this is your blueprint. Get the right wheels, dial in that drop, and own the road. This build is pure perfection.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Nissan Maxima S owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×8.5 / 19×9.5-inch wheels fit my Nissan Maxima S? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Nissan Maxima S owners run 19×8.5 / 19×9.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
