the fronts you cannot go any bigger with stock suspension.The rears you can fit 65s on. Thats what i run.
93 240 vert project - GT28 turbo, FMIC, SSQV bov, 370cc injectors, e-mance tune, meth injection, 3" exhaust and much much more.

So basically 205/60/15 in the front and 205/65/15 in the back?

Yup, you might be able to go a little wider but I probably wouldn't.

I thought you want the sidewall to be smaller ie less than 60?

You run this on stock rims? The reason why I'm asking is because I plan to have the tires a little bit bigger in the back whenever I decide to dorifto.  (which comes every once in a while; not a daily habit.) I just wanna get some ideas before I get new tires.

I'm running on 225/50/15 on stock SE weels. you get a wider patch. there's no suspension rubbing issue as well. they look good too with it.

I've got 195/60/15 up front and 215/50/15 in the rear... I'll be getting new tires all around very soon but since i just dropped my car on coils, I'm not sure what would fit well and look good with my ride height set at what it is....btw i want to run either 205/60 all around or 195/60 fronts and 225/50 rears.. I'll post some current pics soon

Rule of thumb is that you can mount a tire thats ~2" wider than the rim. Anything wider probably rides like poo

Now there are some positives and negatives to having 215 or 225/50 in the rearPositives:
wider contact patch - therefore -better rear end traction
looks better if u like a wider than stock tire
looks good from some angles
shorter sidewall 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)
less sidewall cushion (not a big deal)
may get some understeer here are my pics

Quote:
A Yokohama quick tip—use a rim width which is 90% as wide as the tread width of a performance tire for street driving. This will provide a good balance between performance and ride quality.
http://www.yokohamatire.com/cu....aspx
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.
