Re: Can I run oversized tires on my stock 17" SE Rims?
"Most people select either 235/45R17s or 245/45R17s when upsizing their tires."
I've read all the postings to this thread and it seems no one has actually put 245s on their Maxima.
I'm going to be buying 18x8 wheels and will be using Kumho tires, the BIG question is: Can I go with 245s and not have any clearance problems? Tirerack only recommends 235s but the 245/40x18 is actually closer to the height of the stock 225/50x17s than the 235s would be. Obviously I want to use the 245s but would not likely do so if it's going to cause be problems with rubbing anywhere.
Cheers.
