Tire size
I jus bought some rims and tires off ebay. He listed incorrectly... i thought it was suppose to be a 235/40/18 tires.. but it ended up being 215/40/18... do these go good with the maxima? the wheel size is indeed 18x7.5 as the seller stated but the wheels seems to be so short in width...
hopefully they fit... cuz they do look good!

youre supposed to go with 235s (i went with 245s 
) but the general rule of thumb (note: GENERAL! not exact!!) is for every inch bigger you go add 10 to the width and subtract 10 from the aspect ratio --> +10/-10/+1, get it?
215/55/16 --> 225/45/17 --> 235/40/18
the rule works better when your upgrading your 13" honda wheels on a civic though...
