so...how wide would the rims have to be to fit 255-45-17 tires??

 

I would think at least 7.5 inches and really an 8 inch rim for a good fit.

 

8.5 or 9. Definitely not 7.5

 

A 9? I've got 9s on my TA and 275's are about right and I could easily go to 295 on a 9 inch wheel....

 

Rear 350Z rims are 8" and have 235/50/17 tires. I would think 9".

 

255/45R17s are spec'd for 8.0-9.5 inch wide rims. That said, I'd stay on the lower end but I'm betting it my still rub on a 4th gen.

Shadow, those are 50 series rims. You can put 255/65R17 tire in a 7 inch wheel and still be within specs. It depends on the aspect ratio.

 

9" wheel is min for 275/40 so that's the largest tire you should run on a 9.
<think about it a 275 is almost 11" wide>

I run 255/40s on 17x8.5 and 17x9 (track)

 

thats more like it.

 

Hi' just wondering if you can help me up for my wheels, i have a 96 maxima with koni's front 1.75 eiback spring and agx for rear with 1.5 eiback spring,im thinking to go 19's with those like deep disk rims can you email what is the best rims that i can get and what sizes is good that will not rub on fenders both front and rear

What size tires am I suppose to use on my 4th gen.
Im trying to put some 20in rims on this summer

 

 

20s on a 4th gen....


These are approved with a 245/30 tire, you will want a spacer for flushness in the rear.

My rule of thumb for street tires: keep the rim width within one inch of the section width. That a rule of thumb, a.k.a. a general guide, not an absolute requirement.
