yeah, they are 17x7 with 45mm offset, so they will sit pretty far in towards the struts (like, almost touching them).
if you wanted to you could use a 10-15mm spacer if you wanted to run a 225-50-17 tire, maybe even a 20mm spacer for a 215-50-17 tire.
i don't know what you mean "work with" the intrax springs... those certainly won't rub the fenders, unless you go way way overboard with spacers.
My Chrysler 300c wheels were 17x7 with 22mm offset (equivalent to the wheels I posted above plus a 23mm spacer) with 225-50-17 and they did rub, but i also had blown rear shocks on stock SE springs and a stock GXE swaybar, which allowed a LOT of travel when cornering. So 15mm spacer (45mm wheel offset - 15mm spacer = 30mm combined offset) would give you an extra 8mm more clearance on the fenders than I had with the Chrysler wheels (22mm wheel offset)

it definitely warms my heart to know the 3Gens are still alive and kicking!

What did you do to fasten the seats in? I'd love to do this on my 92 se and find some kind of black leather front seats to go in place of my cloth ones... I hate the way the velour sticks to my clothes... Guess I'm spoiled to leather.
Also how did you do the headliner?
You should do the door jambs yourself, a little sanding and some rattle can and no one would know the difference.

I planned to spray the door jams. And as for the headliner I bought 5 fabric spray cans and it did the job I remove the headliner first then sprayed it. Looks greats. Little tiny rough but no one touches the headliner or door panels.

. It funny that these seats I found them install on a 3 rd gen maxima. When I took it out and notice the difference where the hooks were located is when I notice these seat wasn't from a factory maxima. A couple of weeks later my friend come to check out my seats and tells me that they look exactly like his 2000 Acura tl seats. We check it and it was from a tl lol.
