Upgrading from 15" GLE rims to 17's. What's the correct tire size? *pics inside*
 

As the title says... some sites say
235/45-17 for 1995 Nissan Maxima GLE

whereas others quote

215/50-17
225/45-17
225/50-17

A diameter closest to stock is preferred. Any ideas?

Also references to good online tire sellers would be appreciated.

Thanks!

235/45/17

what width are the rims that ur getting?

All depends on the width of the rim

I believe they are 7.0 inches wide. maybe someone who has these rims can confirm. The rims i have are off a 2000 I30.

The stock size on these i30 rims are 225/50 17.
Tire rack quotes my 95 Maxima GLE as 235/45 17.
Is there much difference between these two sizes?

i'd go with 50 sidewall, i'd like to have as much meat on the wheels as possible

i had that 235/50/17 on my 7.0 17's from the factory i was told not to but but i have been runnig 245/40/17 with no prob's

Those are 17 x 7.5". I have the same ones.

size ?
 

It should or will be stamped on the inside of the wheel spoke.
