Does anyone know why the stock 16" wheels come with 215/55/16 instead of 225/55/16? I know the rim depth is 6.5" and was wondering if there is a limit to how wide of a tire you can put on them.

Hey, the answer is yes, I did it on my ex Max 98SE, and it fitted well on the Nissan oem 16", the handling was way much better, I drove it for 2 year with the 225/50/16 and there was no way I would have go back with the 215.

i think the tires would stick out too much...

Yes, you can fit 225 on the 16x7.5 rims.

That is what i had but now i am using 225's on my 16x7.5 300ZX rims.

OEM 1st gen Intrepid is putting 225 on their 16" rims

I just got off the phone with Michelin and they said that Nissan lists both the 225/55/16 and 225/50/16 as direct replacements for the stock 16" tires.

Thanks for all your feedback.
