Okay will these 17" rims off an 05 Maxima with 225 55/17 tires fit on my 92?

I searched through this forum and Tires & Wheels but didn't find much specific info. Thanks, I know you all must be asked "will this fit questions" all the time, but I didn't see it in the FAQ or stickies. If there is one maybe you can link me to it and if not hopefully somebody else knows the answer.

225/45/17 on a 17x7 with 40mm offset will fit just fine.
last week I fit a 17x8 40mm offset with 255/45/17 on the front and it didn't rub..... and I'm lower than 95% of the cars out there.
rear took a 10mm spacer to keep from rubbing the strut, but will fit just fine once I roll the fenders.

As for your wheels, I can tell you that I am running 2K3 SE's (a slightly different design) with the same tire dimensions and I had some light rubbing in the rear, so I installed some smallish spacers (I forget the size). At worst you'll have to space all 4, but I doubt it.

Anyways back on topic. Thanks for the quick info. I think I read an offset of 32-40 was okay for 3rd Gen, so if thats 40 then the rim should be okay? And by using the tire calculator, the 225 55/17 shows to be just a little higher than stock- about 1". How does that sound? Think I might be pushing it? These tires come with them or else I'd probably go smaller.
I though I remembered reading a post on what wheel combo 3rd Gener's were using but I can't find it.
EDIT: Damn you guys are quick. At the 4x4 forum it takes a few hours to get a answer. Its like the response time is directly related to the type of vehicle one drives. Sorry that was stupid, but thanks again for the help.

The tire is way too big. The diameter is going to be about 1.2 inches taller.
Over an inch is a LOT of difference when it comes to clearance issues. I would definitely test fit them first if I were you. If you have a drop, I am almost positive they won't fit. They might if you are at stock height.

I wouldn't worry too much about the tire size for now. just keep in mind your speedo will be reading about 5% low. so if it says you're going 60, you'll be doing about 63.....
when the tires wear out, put some 225/50/17 or 235/45/17 on them and you'll be fine.

I have 16" 4th gen SE wheels on there now, with 215/55/16s. Eibachs and Tokicos, so the drop is around 1.2 inches.
Matt is right, with your stock height, you should be OK on the tires. I would still pick those up, since that is such a good price.
