Wheels 215/65R16

I have at the moment 225/50R17 summer tires and I am planning to buy new wheels with tires for winter, and one guy is selling wheels(5x114.3) with tires 215/65R16
I wanted to know if they fit or not as when I google I see many places where it tells 205/65R16 ; 215/55R16 ; 215/55R17

Car is Nissan Maxima 2003 QX V6 147Kw(A33)

You need to try those before buying, especially if the wheels weren't sold to fit your car. Tire size and wheel offset have to be considered together.

wheels are just some random universal. and they should fit as it is 5x114.3 but I'm worried about the tire. also i see that my Maxima should have 215/55R17 but when I bought the car it had 225/50R17 on it and I havent had problem with them.
when trying what should I look? because I'm almost 100% sure that they will go on without any problem. is there anything specific what I need to look?

Yeah they will fit. I have 215/55R16 on my 01 with 16x6.5J. Lots of wheel gap left for a bigger profile of tire. Here is how tires work (Using my tire size). The 215 stands for tire width. The 55 stands for the profile or sidewall dimension and the R16 the diameter of rim. Good luck with the tire search.
