Anyone running them on their 3rd gen.? Do they fit? What are your thoughts?
I have a chance to buy a set of Goodyear RS-A's for cheap but have to respond by tomorrow night. I have 225/50/16's now and think they look too small and don't want to drop the suspension. I like the clearance. But it's almost a 2" difference. !! Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated. RZ

 

60 is too big...i had 55's and they were big... http://maxima.cardomain.com/id/chris91se

 

you are pretty severely dropped though.

 

225-60-16 is too big because i had a guy that had them on a maxima come to my tire shop and they rubbed a little in the back. the front it ok though

 

thanks. don't want any rubbing anywhere. seems like some of the newer model owners have been using them. maybe the wheelwell or suspension set-up is different.

 

doesn't matter...the total diameter is still about the same as OEM...60's throw it all off

 

Dunno about 16's but a 225/60-15 was a freaking bus tire on my car. 225/50 is much better.

 

Okay, I'm going to pass on the deal. If anyone can use a set of Goodyear RS-A's, with 9/32 tread, 225/60/16, for $85+ shipping (!!!!)let me know by tonight.
Off to work. RZ

 

225/50R16 is juuuusst right

 

225's are to wide in the rear for 3rd gens unless you put a spacer in there. Stick to 215's. theres not that much of a difference.
