For example: a 195/60/15 ES100 has a tread width of 6.8" and a measuring rim width of 6" which is 88% of 6.8".

Nissan new what they were doing when they equiped the OEM wheels with that tire size. Just put some sticky rubber on there and you'll be golden. ]]> Eddie 2009-01-30T23:42:27-08:00 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=337665;postid=4404487#4404487 i had 275/50/15 drag radials on my stock steelies for the track, a bit of a stretch but fit on there and had no issues.

wider contact patch - therefore -better rear end traction
looks better if u like a wider than stock tire
also looks good from certain angles
shorter sidewall, but more sidewall flex could be a possibility(although i get less flex on my 215's than my tall azz 195 60's)- it depends on sidewall of specific tire

Negatives:
speedometer shows a little faster
looks ugly to me from side view b/c doesnt fill up fender gap ontop and on sides...(see first pic)- and they balloon
less sidewall cushion (not a big deal)
may get some understeer
