Dennis, I"m having trouble getting tirerack and nissan to agree that the 15 work. Do you have part number info or specs on the rims you bought, where you bought them? Would help. Thanks, I am at ekirstein at catskill.net, if you want to email me directly.

For my 01 SE I have a set of 215/65/15 snow tires on 15" rims; no problem with clearances/rotors, or speedometer. Stock 225/50/17 radius 12.9" diameter 25.9" circumference 81.2" revs/mile 780 Snow 215/65/15 radius 13.0" diameter 26.0" circumference 81.7" revs/mile 776 Dennis In article <3ef11016.45980927 (AT) library (DOT) airnews.net>, jv9999 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com wrote: I don't think the wheels will clear the rotors. 16 will, but not 15.

I don't care much about cornering performance, would rather have a smoother ride anyway. Thanks for any comments. Ed |

Man, except for snows, why would you put 15" on a Maxima?? That would look goofy as hell!

The dealer has just ordered some 15" wheels for me from TireRack. This is for my snow tires which I have left over from my '89 Maxima. Hope it all fits.

Yeah, I was referring to newer Maximas with the "goofy as hell" comment. The 89 is a much smaller car (I think.. haven't actually driven one in +10 years).
