I doubt he ever had the intention to SHOW a difference in tire size. I think he was more performance-minded when he asked this question.

I don't know the answer, but wouldn't it be a problem when you rotate tires? I doubt you'd want wider tires in the front...

Unless your getting them free then that'd be a waste to buy. What would the point be? I doubt there would be much if any noticeable difference in grip in any case. But if you must I'd start with the 235's on the front. The last thing you'd want is even more grip in the back to make this pig understeer even worse....

As long as you don't get tires wider than 235/40/18's you'll be perfect. You'd probably want the wider tires to go on the front than the back.. They would do nothing for you back there. Just get 235's all around man

I too am wondering why you would go with different tire widths on a FWD understeer prone car like the Maxima? There's no logic in it. Unless they are free or very very cheap.

which size of tires will go better with 18x7.5 rim...
225/40/18 or 235/40/18..
maybe i'll sell my pair of 225s and get some 235s... if 235s are better

Your best bet then would be to buy to more 235's
