Tire Info Needed

Hey all,
I am getting new tires on my max this thursday, but the last person to get tire on my car didnt get the original size. So i have no idea what to gt. Also, what is the widest possible tire size that will fit on the 15" stock nissan rim.

P205/65R15 is original size, don't know how much bigger you can go though.

Keep in mind though that the 215/60R15 will be slightly smaller around than the 205/65R15. So your speedo will be 1.3% too fast which for example when your speedo reads 60mph you'll actually be traveling 59.2 MPH. Which isn't that bad just don't get too crazy you want to stick under 3%. I ran wider and lower profile tires once and it screwed with my shift points and prematurely wore out my transmission(auto). Atleast that is what I attested it too. For what it's worth I have had really goodluck with Yokohama Tires. I have Advan S.4.'s and love them.

If you're not lowered than lower profile tires will make your car look

Only on stock rims! We're talking about less than 10mm of sidewall height difference, even with stock rims.
