Did you get the 1 inch or 2 inch sprint system, I have the 2 inch drop, with 16 inch rims, and there is hardly any clearance left for 17's



My Maxima

 

Are the tires 215-55 or 225-50? Either size should bolt on and fit. 235-245s will risk the tires rubbing the struts. Plus these sizes are too large for a 7" rim anyway

 

The wheels should fit easily without rubbing. Keep the size of the tire at 215 (stock) and it will look sexy as hell!

 

i checked today and i have 225/50s and i havent put the sprints on yet. should i be ok before and after the drop. thanks. im going to try and get the other two tires next week.

 

yup keep the tire at 215/50/17 i did i have no rub at all!! i didnt do a drop so i have clearence also, but the 225/50/17 will rub on the rear strut assebly

 

maybe ill keep the 225/50s for the front and put some 215/50s on the back. 2 of the rims dont have tires anyways. will this cause any problems having a wider tire in the front than i do in the back?

 

i am running 2k2 alty 17 inch rims with eibachs. 225/45 no problems.

 

someone has some 235/45/17s for sale. will these rub at all? otherwise i have to buy 2 new 225-/50 for like $150 a tire. thanks

 

You do know that 235/45 is too wide for the wheel, right?

Besides that, you should have matching tires front and back and I think it will probably rub for sure anyway. Last time I checked, the 5th Gen 17's had +45 offset, and the two factors together don't paint a very friendly picture...

 

didnt know that. thanks for the info. well it looks like new tires for me. thanks guys
