235/45/17, is that too wide for 17' wheels...
i was looking into buying new tires for my stock 17' SE rims...size i was looking for was 225/45/17 or 235/45/17...was wondering does anybody have 235' on their car and if so is it too wide? meaning does it rub again the wheel wall...

I have some Yoko ES100's in that size on some 17x8 rims. I have a slight rub when I turn the wheel all the way to the left but it is only against the plastic piece in the wheel well. I have mentioned this on here before and was told that it rubbs because I have a 40mm offset on my wheels instead of 38. Hope this helps.

Yes, 235 is too wide for the stock 17x7" wheels on the gen5 Maximas. Closest fit is a 215/50 or a slightly smaller 225/45.
Wider 17" wheels than the stock ones-- a 17x7.5" or 17x8" can run the ideal size of 235/45. A 7" wide wheel just isn't wide enough for a 235/45.

Auction's over, but nobody bid. You can probably get them if you email the seller.
