I currently have P205/65/15 on my white Maxima which is either a GXE or an SE, can't figure out which one yet. I am going to buy tires online. I wanted to know if a 97 Maxima could handle 225/50-17. I am all about all season and good handling. I appreciate look very much and I am the kinda guy who loves to have the balls if ever needed but would also like to go to another state or just drive and feel safe. I was thinking something all season and to handle very well. My buddy said anything above 225/50-17 would be tough to drive with. I have no idea. What do you guys think? What can I go up to on my 97 GXE/SE Maxima? Thanks a lot!

depends what wheel size youre buying

and also you might want a set of springs that lower the car a bit to make them look a tad nicer
