OK, 215/45/17, with a 42 offset, will they work?

Just wondering because I have new rims and tires that I bought for my Altima and I was thinking if I was ever in a jam and needed to switch rims, could it be done??? I know the ideal size for us is 205/40/17 but I just have to know if it'll work with no problems.....

**ssophab** · 06-11-2002, 04:35 AM

That'll work... that's what I have on mine... that is if the rims are 4-point.

**joker2** · 06-11-2002, 04:44 AM

What do you mean by 4-point???

**pimp86LX** · 06-11-2002, 04:58 AM

4 bolts for the wheel dude

is it not also 100mm?

**joker2** · 06-11-2002, 05:02 AM

OK, I thought you were talking about something else, yeah they have a universal fitting for 4x100 and 4x114 so they will fit, I was just concerned about the tires being too big...

They might rub a little in the back, and when you bottom out in the front.

If your gettin a good deal on them just get camber kits and bring them in a degree. -1 degree of camber is allowable in our cars without major tire problems.

So basically you're saying I may have to get the fenders rolled in the back..... As far as the front, I have a camber kit so the adjustment should be no problem.....

**guaynabo89** · 06-11-2002, 10:20 AM

Yup

Yeah roll those rear quaters up as much as you can.

**Jerren** · 06-11-2002, 10:45 AM

i have 205/45/17's. and the WILL rub in the rear. simply just roll the fender lips back and you should be good.

**Jerren** · 06-11-2002, 10:45 AM

215 may be to big i think.

**TeKKnoTeKK** · 06-11-2002, 11:05 AM

IMO I don't think those will work....I am running a 215 tire but it's 35 series on 18's. Looks to me like you are playing with fire on this one, I would try them on your car before buying them.

**joker2** · 06-13-2002, 05:18 AM

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of but like I said I already have the rims because they are on my Altima right now...... They're perfect for the Altima but I was just thinking if I ever got into a bind and needed to use those rims and tires, could I use them...... I guess I'm going to have to put them on and see for myself......
