Will my tires fit on my car???

I'm in dire need of some technical advice guys... Here goes. Well I was planning on ordering a wheel/tire package with 17x7 rims and 205/40/17 tires in a couple of weeks, but my brother sold his car and he doesnt need the tires he bought for his rims anymore. He gave me a really good deal on four BRAND NEW 235/40/ZR17 Yokohama AVS tires. I looked into the wheel wells of my car today and it doesn't look like the 235's will fit at all. I really want these tires to fit but If they don't or I can't use spacers or anything to make it work, I'll just sell them. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance -Richie

Not many people that I've talked to go larger than 205's. That and 235's are probably pretty heavy for a sentra.

235's are too large for the Sentra's. The largest you should go is 205.

Be careful, you get a ruffer ride and you will wear out your struts and other suspension parts.

Sell those tires and go with a 195/205 package with 15" wheels. Anything larger than 16"s will make your car go slower. My 2 cents worth.
