heres the deal in the front i got 225/45/18 rear 245/45/18 and my car is dropped 1 1/2" front and 1 1/4" rear, my problem is that all four sides are rubbing against the fenders when ever i hit a bump on the road or if i corner hard, i want to have one tire size all around so what tire size would you recommend that wont be rubbing at all?

 

the tires you should have are 235/40-18

 

wont those be bigger than the 225/45/18?

 

That size will be wider than the 225 up front, but narrower than the 245 in the rear. The 235/40 will be shorter than the 225/45 and 245/45. If you follow the Tire Size Calculator in the stickies, 235/40/18 (most likely) is the recommended tire size for your Max, and least likely to rub with a drop.

 

I've got 245/40 18's dropped on S.Techs and never had any rubbing issues! 235/40 was the recommended size but I went up one notch on the width! Good luck!

 

no, the 225/45 actually has 7.25mm of overall sidewall

 

and the 245/45 is actually 16.25 mm more sidewall and 10mm more tread width than what most members recommend for 18's on a maxima.

 

He posted this thread twice and still everyone keeps telling him the same..LOL..
