Is there anyway to fit a tire of this size on the front wheels of a 96 Maxima?

 

Lemme get this right...You want to fit a 10-11" wide tire on a rim that is meant for a 6.5" tire?

No, you cannot...You may be able to squeeze it on there, but it is in no way safe.

 

Typo?? Hope you meant 205/50. If you did, yes they fit.

 

Nope I meant what I typed. I was just wondering if anyone had fit such a wide tire on the front wheels.

 

Final answer, NO.

You can barely fit 225s, and even that is probably dangerous.

 

255/35 is the maximum, on a rim that has the right offset, the fluck would u want a suv size tire on a tiny car for?

 

Are they slicks?

 

drewm: who told you that? BrianV but 255's on

Asu174: yea there Dot slicks

 

Slicks are different. You never mentioned that.

Check with the manufacturer of the tires for the recommended rim widths to mount it on. 6 inch wide wheels can have at most 225 for most radial tire brands (look for the rim width range, anything else can be dangerous): http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...=Potenza+RE950

 

Not really slicks they have a DOT number but thats not important. I know that you can not put a 11 inch tire on a 6 inch rim. I thought you meant that on a Maxima you could not fit any tire wider than 225.
