Help with wheels on a 95 Sentra

redline95gle · Dec 18th, 2005, 05:37 PM

Hey this is my first post. ive been considering buying wheels for my 95 sentra gle but i am not sure if they will rub anywhere on the car. The wheels that came stock with the car are 14x5.5. I want to put new wheels on which will either be 15x6.5, 16x7 or 17x7. The tires on my stock wheels are 175/65/14 and the new tires would probably be at least 195 thick so do you think anything will rub? or would it be safe to buy rims for this car? Thanks for your help.

I think you're mixing up your #s. The 65 is the higth of the tire, that wont be able to be a 65, however with 17's you should be able to get at least a 40 series tire if not a 45.

Oh, and LOL at your signature.

yea i no the 65 is the height, im just worried about the width of them and if i go around a corner if the tire is a 205 and the car came with 175 if it will rub anywhere
