??what??? look at the stickys at the top of the page. Find tire Calculator and click, go to the link and try diff tires until you get the match you want. 235/45/17 is a good match for the SE 215/55/16 setup, however 235s may be to wide for the wheels you have???

235's are fine for the stock 02/3 SE wheels. There has been many that debate this, but myself as well as perhaps a dozen oher members have been riding on them for quite a while now. One member even went to 245 wide on the stock 7" wheel, not something I would reccomend but surely, I'd say go with 235 if that is ineed what you want.

225/50's look good as well, though the speedometer may be off a slight bit more, they fill the wheel wells better, but the size is not too common.

With that said, the 235-45's are the better choice with respect to better selsction.




And every 4th gen Maxima needs to be lowered.
