Hey Guys, I want to buy a new set of wheel, I want to run 255-40-17 or 18, do you think a 8.5" wide and an offset of 38mm should clear from rubbing.

Let me know what you guys think.


Cheers

You need a 8.5 inch rim or bigger for 255's.

 

I'm sure doublea already knows that, emax95. He's been around long enough to know how to use the FAQs. I'd say the critical question is the one concerning offset.

 

Shoot cwally a PM or email. I know he had 245 series tires on his car and he wanted to put 255s in the rear. I don't know if he has or not yet. He's a cool guy. He answered a lot of my newbie questions what seems like not to long ago but, wow, nearly a year.

 

I have 245/40/17 on the rear (summer tires) and it's close.
When the car is raised on jacks, there's about half an inch of clearance with the spring. When the car is on the ground, it's a little more obviously. I don't remember the offset of the wheel but it's half an inch from being flush with the fenders.
255/40/18 would be even tighter. I'm sure someone here has already done it and can answer with details so I'll shut up now.

 

there is a 5th gen maxima with 275's on rear and 245's on front

he has 8.5 for fronts and 10 for back

Dammit no pics.....

 

Hey y2kse, this morning while I was using the search engine, I found a thread that was dated may of this year, it seem that a 35-38 mm offset should clear the fender.

Thank you guys.

Hey lcf, I think that's the thread I founded this morning, with a 35-38mm offset it should clear the fender if not I can play with the fender.

Thanks for helping.

NP, dude. Remember to take pics. Esp the front and rear view.

 

Hey lcf, now I just need to sell my GTV , but still I have couple of months before winter is over.

Cheers
