Who's running 235/45-17 on 7" rims? Problems?
Hello all,
I'm about to buy new tires for the stock 17x7" rims on my 2000 SE and am curious how many of you are running 235/45-17 tires on these rims. Any problems? Would appreciate a comment on your driving style when you post a response as well as the brand of tire you're using. I'm looking at Kumho Ecsta 712's. Thanks in advance for the input. Regards, Scott Buchanan Charlotte, NC 2000 Maxima SE |

235/45/17
I am running Micheline Pilot Sport A/S. They are ridiculously better than the stock $hit. They were about $1200 with front end alignment. No problems, and they look a little "meaner" from behind.

235 tires on 17 inch wheels
I've heard not to increase tire size in the front.... Tread will wear faster and ride quality will suffer slightly (especially around town).
I am putting my new Foca F10 Wheels on next week with the factory Potenza 225/50 vr17 tires (they are awesome). Later! rob rwbro719@aol.com Colorado |

is the wheel gap noticeable when going to a 235/45/17 from the stock size? ive got a stock suspension expect for rsb and fstb but i wanted to know if the gap at any of the wheels was too much? any pics?

i figured it would look nice with drop but i dont have the cash for that just yet. just wanted to know what it look like for the time being.

I've got Nitto 555's 235/45 17's.
they feel great and haven't had any problems.... my stock potenza's sucked big time in the rain.....otherwise they were cool. |
