So I have a set of wheels 16x7 40mm offset that I was thinking of using for our son's 4th gen maxima. He bent 2 of his steel wheels. I have access to a set of 225/50-16 BFG Traction T/A's with only about 3k on them. Would this setup work ok for his car?

stickies to the rescue!

 

yeah it will work 100%. i have 225/50 on a 16x8 wheel with similar offset and im dropped 2 inches and everything is fine.

 

I know the recommended size is 215/55-16 to be closest to the stock size but like I mentioned I have some 225/50-16's and wasn't sure if they would work on the car or if they would have rubbing issues.

 

Any other pics with this tire size on their car?

 

225-50-16 will work fine. Anytime ou have a question check the Tire size calculator for a comparison

 

the wheels and tires would fit just fine for a stock maxima.

 

You should be fine with the 225/50/16's.
