Why hasnt anyone used 235/45/18 or 245/40/19 as tire sizes for the maxima? Will these rub? If you think about it they make sense to use this much rubber because stock maxes have 215/55/16 or 225/50/17 so the other two tire sizes would seem to work while allowing you to have more rubber around you rims.

 

Go for it.

 

It's hard to find a good quality tires in those sizes.

 

I chose 245/40/18 since they had the closest diameter to stock.

 

there are not too many brands that make a 235/45/18 I tried to get them.

 

I just got a new set of 19"s and I chose the 245/35 Kumho Ecsta....I wanted the 235 g-force by goodrich...but Tire Rack told me that they wouldnt hold the wieght of the car so i just went bigger.....

 

I want 255's , because I know they should fit...

 

I'd like to try 245/35/18's....I think Toyo makes a tire that size

 

I'm with you. The new 18x8.5 wheels will be here in two weeks, and the 255/40/18's are waiting at Discount Tire. I'll be the guinea pig and see if they will work. I'll post results when they are on the car.

DITTO!

 

okai so if i have 19x8.5" rims with an offset of +36 could i go for 255/35/19 without problem?? Kloogy maybe you can answer this!?!?
I'm about to put those chrome rims on my car since nobody want to buy them.

 

Should you have gone with a 35 sidewall since you went 255! Way to go dood! I have 18x8.5's and was pushing for 255's when I got'em, package deal type thinggie. Anyways, 255's should fit no prob! Take pics!

 

255s might rub in the rear.

I have 245 40 18s with an 8.5" wide wheel and 37mm offset. When I put on 5mm rear wheel spacers, it rubbed like a *****.

 

Thankz andy!
well so i guess it's gonna rub for sure since these are 19's so any suggestions of the perfect size tire i should go for then?

 

I've thought of getting some 19"s w/ 235/35/19 tires and I thought 245s would rub with only 1 1/2 inch clearance but 255s?

 

245 35 19s would probably work.

 

Ditto. This morning I bought a friends 19's with 245/35's and put them on my 4th Gen with Eibachs and there's no rubbing anywhere that I can tell. The Eibachs lowered the car close to 1.5" in front and the "gap" is equal front to rear.
