I'm buying 17 rims for my 99 steerling mist maxima, and soon will be purchasing tires. Wondering if 235/45/17 tires are too big for the max..anyone with these specs? please help thank you

 

i have these on my max they fit fine and handle great

 

Fit perfect

 

I've had slightly larger 245/45-17 tires on my 1999 Maxima (lowered ~1.75 inches with Intrax springs and KYB GR-2 shocks) for over a year. No clearance or rubbing problems, although it now rides pretty harsh. Changed many things at once, so can't really separate variables.

 

235/45/17's here, and they are fine.

 

ok...thanks alot

 

Mine are on order!

 

I have em too, they're fine.

 

Best size if you ask me- good handling and the speedo is not off.

May Max on 17's

 

I have 235/45/17s on my 17x7.5s

 

235-45-17 is the size everyone with 17's should have if they want to keep their stock diamater. So yeah, about half the people on this entire message board probably have them.

 

235 is the spec width for a 7.5" width.

yep, i have them too. i've got a 2" drop and they work fine, but my cai in the fender well is a little bit pushing it. one day on the interstates, i was driving pretty fast and over a little concave on the pavement. the car pressed down and the tire grinded the spot where the cai is pusing the fender splash guard towards the tire. the tire ate a hole where the intake was. but i replaced it and extended the intake after i get home. now everything is running just fine...

 

According to the tire calculator, that size is what it recomends to use so you won't be to far off from stock tire diameter. I too have that size for two years, and i have no problems.
