I am in the market for new tires for my 2005 G35, the stock size is 215/55/17 and I was thinking of going with 235/50/17 would this size be too wide or would it be okay.

Any help is welcome.

Later

It's a common tire size used by many here. The diameter is identical to the stock tires, but the width is, of course, 20mm wider. I'm actually looking to go higher to a 215/60/17 or possible 225/60/17, if that will fit (which i doubt). Anyway, the 235/50 will definitely fit.

Thanks for the info I just want to make sure I will have no issues if I went up to a 235/50/17, that is why I asked.

Thanks once again

Where have I heard those tire sizes before.... wait, Infiniti Chica had the same idea. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

235/50/17 will fit, but that would be the widest I would run on a 7" wheel.

Well, you're very persistent RED_DET and keep posting the same message everywhere I've been, sort of like a smear campaign of sorts it would seem. I've explained this in 2 other threads, so will do the same here:

"Seems a lot of folks have jumped the gun (a pattern on this forum it seems) and then proceeded to become disrespeful (another pattern) with me also following their behavior with my daughter: Isa!

Same address-- same home! She lives with me... or better yet, I moved in with her since moving to US about 4-5 months ago (about the time I also joined the forum). I had no idea she had become a member when I returned to US but discovered so when we spoke about the site a few days ago, before she deleted her account. So, it seems both of us have been the subject of some discussion and the same level of disrespect has been shown to us both... although I'm not sure I deserved it on this one. I felt that my responses were always measured and respectful to all members here, even if there was a disagreement.

No need to cancel or delete my account since this will be my final post, also. My hope is that the forum will treat members with more respect and that a certain level of decency be expected if the forum is to continue to grow/attract new members."

Yeah...that's believable brah...

Just like those aren't "your" inflatable sheep your friend left them there. If you want to lead a mutli sexual lifestyle you may wanna consider moving to Thailand. It's openly acceptable there
