thats a pretty wide tire. you might have problems with them rubbing on your struts

Yes it will rub when you turn the wheel, by the way that car looks familier

The rears might work, but I doubt they will fit on the front. Plus, you are going to have some funky tire size.

for sure going to rub up front. the back you will be cool. i think it would stick out a little but if your car is lowered and stuff it might look pretty aggressive. tires are gonna cost a lot tho...

Hmm...
Ghetto? No. They will look hardcore racing.

By the way they will definitley rub on your struts. I don't even think the people with 20"s on Maximas have that wide a wheel!

20's usually are x8.5 or x9....I still think 9.5 would look tight from the back tho

I agree. And by the way black019, you have the best looking I30 I have seen yet. And I mean it (you can quote me on that).

Widest I've heard of is 17x9.

With Z32 16" turbo wheels-- 7" in front, 8.5" in back... you have to put the 7" ones in front, or else you can't turn your wheels without rubbing, which is a pretty big problem...
