does ne1 know if the size 245-45-17 will fit on my 01 maxima se with no rubbing or problems ?

 

I have 245-40-18's and I don't rub. It all depends on wheel width and offset. You can't have a 25mm offset and not expect to rub. If you provide some additional info then people can answer your question more accurately.

 

ok the tires im getting are 245-45-17thats all it said and the rims are 17 inch 5x114.3

 

If you are talking about mounting that size tire to the OEM wheel, it won't fit. The OEM wheels are 17x7 and the two sizes that are typically used are 225/50/17 (OEM size) and 235/45/17 (but that's not recommended).

 

I had that size tire (Sumitomo) on my 17" OEM rims and didn't experience any rubbing. They looked great but between DC potholes and my girlfriend's love of curbing I had to take them off.

 

these are the rims

Yeah i agree the the tire might not fit on the rim you will probably need a wider rim.....

 

that is a 17X7.5" wheel and is spec for either 235/45/17 or 245/45/17.

 

typical.....everyone wants to put the widest tire they can on a rim. If handling is your goal, go with a tire toward the mid/lower extreme of the rim size. In your case, 2355/17 or similar. 245 will fit, but with the higher side profile of a 17" rim that's only 7.5" wide, your handling may be sloppier.

but hey, what do I know about anything.....

 

I run 235/50-17s....and the handling is not sloppy in any way. BUT, pilot sport 2's will do that

 

what size rims though?

 

i'm running 245/45/18 all the way with the 350z rims and they fit good the back tires rub a little when you pass over bumps but it looks like a 4x4 well thats maybe because i havent drop it yet.

 

The 350 rims are 18x8 though....and your speedo is probably 10% off or so.

correct diameter to keep it in spec is 235/40/18 for 18" rims, or even 245/40/18. 245/45.....no wonder your rubbing. Wait until you drop it...more rubbing to follow.

 

that was going to be my next question Irish well thank for the answer.
Does anybody know how bad will it rub after i drop it with maxspeed?

 

My car was lowered on Maxspeeds for over 1.5 yrs and with my 19" wheels (245/35/19 tires) I never had an issue with rubbing.

 

oh there's hope

 

go w/ 235s. Most 245s are not recommended to be mounted on a 7" wide wheel.

 

i run 17X8 rims with 35mm offset. i am lowered on maxspeed springs with 245/45/17 and no issues with rubbing at all.

 

it really all depends on the rim offset....

I have maxspeeds with 18x8, 235/40/18 and I've never rubbed. Oh, and my wheels are 30mm offset, which is about as far out as you can go without rolling the fenders.

 

I have the same size wheels and tires, on H&R springs. When I had Dunlop SP5000 they had clearance all around, no rubbing whatsoever.

But when I put on BFGoodrich KDWS, I would get slight rubbing in the back only.
