Tyres on stock GXE wheels

im getting new tyres soon and im wondering what size tyres fit on the stock GXE wheels...
i have 205/60/15's on there now, im wondering if i can fit 215's of some sort on?

also if i put 215's on the front will it handle alright with 205's on the back?

Yes 215/60 will be ok

I have them on my car right now with stock GXE rims. It is kind of funny that the other day I saw another 89 maxima with the smallest side way. It looked so ugly but the 215/60 look a little wider and you can tell a difference in the handling and you have to watch the traction control(wheelspin) because you are actually putting more remember on the road. I would not put two different tires sizes on the car because personally I think it will look wierd and want handle quite as good.

C'mon man, it's spelled tires. I thought it was a mistake in the subject line, and I can live with that, but you misspelled way to much. "Education is fundamental."

I really hope you're kidding.
He's from New Zealand which uses different spellings for some things like the UK does but it's still correct

My favourite part of your post is that you're trying to correct his spelling but you made a mistake in your grammar.
to should be too

I had 215/60 and I like them alot..looked good and handled nice. Get those. I had 225/60's too, they rubbed a little in the back. I got a set of mint condition stock GXE wheels with brandy new tires on them in exchange for a set of wheel locks, so now I'm back to 205/65..like the 215/60 much better. Now my 89 SE is really wierd..5sp, GXE wheels, no Fogs (busted them in philly on a steep driveway) and no spoiler. I like the SE tails with no spoiler though..very Skyline-ish.
