Tires & Wheels ( 17" VS 16" )

[Kenny G]

Hi,
I'm running 215-55-R17 on my 2006 G35X.I have 215-55-R16 snows on steel wheels with apparently the
same bolt pattern I used on my 2001 Maxima.
Do you anticipate any issues with fit ?

Should fit fine, assume the wheels would be high offset and being 16s might not look the best, but its winter steel wheels, so shouldn't matter.

Just double check the offset and make sure it isn't so high that it will hit the shocks or rub on the inside.

Well I found out today the wheels won't fit even though the bolt pattern is fine.
The G35X has huge brake callipers in comparison to the Maxima ,so that is the issue.
Guess who is shopping for new winter wheels and tires. ( One of the benefits of living in Ontario Canada in a snow belt area. )

Oh yeah, didn't think about the brake caliper issue.

Brake clearance was my first thought and second was how screwy the speedo would be
