To those with 19's
What tire size are you running? I am thinking about buying a set of forged rays from a g35 and they are 19s. I did the wheel calculator and if I put some 245/40/19s on there then that would be really close to my stock setup. I just dont want a super small sidewall that makes my wheel gap look even larger than it already is. Any suggestions?

I have found some tires for 200-300 for 19s and I find 18" tires that cost right about the same. I guess it all depends on the brand.

Run your certain side wall because it's within specs, or for fender clearance only.

DO NOT try to run a bigger side wall to close in the gap, I cant stress this enough. It doesn't close the gap that much at all, but itdoes help your car sit higher off the ground and it also throws your speedo off...

I just realized you got a 6th gen. 6th gens can take more profile than previous maximas.
If you ask me, if your going for looks only on 6th, go with 20s. Even 22s can work WITH a nice drop.
You wanna retain performance but still like to have a somewhat "filled" look in the wheel wells? go 19s.
The only 18s I like on a 6th gen are the stockers. The wheel wells are bigger on the 6ths, they can take larger wheels and IMHO, need bigger sizes to look good. (and this is coming from someone who hates big wheels)

yo what up dude...yeah you live an you learn...but the biggest difference in that gap...might have been taken care of by that 3 inches in total circumference...

Totals are in inches Tire 1 Tire 2 Difference
Sidewall Height: 3.38 3.86 .48
Section Width: 9.65 9.65 00

245/40/19s will be just fine. But 245/35/19s on a dropped Maxima would make it look hotter.
