Widest Tire

[tromboneking1]

Hello, just wanted to know what is the widest tire that can be put on the stock wheels for an 08 Altima Coupe 2.5. The originals are 215/60, 16" wheels. I'd like to go wider and don't have the money to buy new wheels right now. I also would like to go with a lower profile...any ideas?

Do you know how wide your stock wheels are? That would answer half your question right there...

I am assuming it is a 16x7 wheel based on the information from Street Dreams. I really can't find too much that says otherwise.

I notice sports cars usually have 17- or 18-inch tires. "Ordinary" cars usually have 15-inch tires. Upper trim levels of these cars get bigger tires. I heard bigger tires enable a car to go a further distance in a same amount of time, because of the bigger circumferences. Bigger tires can stop a car better because of wider surface contact. But bigger tires need more gas, possibly more road noise. You can also get all ranges of tires in the market.
