5Gen Wheel/Tire combo questions...

What are the optional 17" wheel widths, and what size tire doe NISSAN mount on there?

If it is a 225/50/17, do you think a 235/45/17 would be OK?

If someone has a 235/45/17 on a stock 5Gen 17", can I see a picture?

Thank you.

235/45 is not recommended.

A bunch have done it, but like Kev said, no tire manufacturer recommends it.

235x45 most people on here use for the upgrade on the stock 17" wheels. It is a recommeneed combo for our cars due to the fact there isn't any tires int he stock size for a good price. There is no problems with 235x45 running on a 17x7 inch rim. Looks perfect.
