I searche dbut couldn't get an answer. Will the 17" 2k4 maxima SL wheels fit on my 2k2 max without modification? If someone has pics of them on a 5th gen, that'd be nice too.
Thanks

I know the 2K4 18" wheels fit, so there shouldn't be an issue with the 17''.

I wanted to make sure because the 2k4 maxes have 225/55/17 instead of 225/50/17. Is a 55 sidewall gonna hurt anything, or will it just give a smoother ride?
Thanks

bump, maybe this should be moved to 5th gen forum

I'd say smoother ride, slightly lower performance because of a higher sidewall height. But probably not much. 225 55 17 tires are more common than 225 50 17 tire. I'm looking into 225 55 17 tires just so I pay less too. Plus I actually want some more sidewall and because the outside diameter of the tire will be larger, my speedo will read a bit slower than I'm actually going, not too much but just a bit. So I'll save gas.. hehe...
