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.

17X7.5 16lbs. Ought to be fine. Thank you.

BTW, no one ever told me how wide the 5Gen max wheel is? hmm?

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.
