Finally...pics of my car!!!

[b-b00gie]

i havent had any problems at all... only time my car has ever rubbed is on the rear wheels.. if i have 3 guys in the back and i go through a big dip...

i'm not sure what going to 17" wheels will accomplish... as the outside diameter of the tire is still the same... or should be...

whenever people meet me and they have g20's (p11) they tell me they're gonna get 17's.. and then they see my car and i tell them i have 18's... they always say.. "oh they fit?" ...i scratch my head and wonder... dont they know the diameter of the tire stays the same? (as best you can by following that chart)

primera man, if you take a look... you are running a tire which is 1 inch bigger than stock... maybe 225/35/18's would be better... or what i have 225/40/18's which is about 1/4 inch bigger than stock...

also... what width is your wheel? mine are 18x7 ..i have heard of people using 18x7.5 dont know if their's rub when they make turns.. but mine do not... and i'm actually thinking about going to a 19x7.5 wheel size

hmm... Jason? can we cut these posts out and move it to another thread somehow? ....i hate to get off topic and steal nismoboy1's glory... afterall this thread is about HIS car lol...

Yeah i see your point now (pays to read all the forum first). Mine are 45 series,not 40's as i sent in the last email so i think along with a 3" lowering job, it dont go together to well at them big dips. Teach me for taking the tyre mans word and not looking into it my self more.
At least i filled up the arch with tyre/rim..LOL

P.S ..Sorry to steal your glory nismoboy1 with that fine car of yours.

thanx again for all the good comments guys...and don't worry about getting off-topic, it's cool...

but i'm gonna jump on the band-wagon too or should i say the primera wagon (ok, that was lame)...

anyways...some of you guys are running some biga$$ tires...235/40, 225/40 damn i'm running 215/40 and that's supposed to be pretty close to stock diameter and I haven't experienced any rubbing or anything. and potholes aren't that bad either (maybe i haven't hit the right one yet hehe lol)

b-boogie - i have 18x7.5 all around and i haven't experience any problems with these rubbing, so i believe 19x7.5 should be fine with the right tire say 215/35 or maybe 225/35 :licker:

[Nismoboy1]

oh yeah...i want my damn glory back, who stole it...lol hehe

[G22DET]

wait....b-b00gie, u sure we can use 235s for 17inch wheels? Assuming we get the correct offset of the wheels, wouldn't that be a big too wide for the G?
anyway, pretty nice wheels Nismoboy, however, you definitly need to lower it..SO, buy my eibach springs please!!!!! heheh, $175SHIPPED!!!

[b-b00gie]

i was just highlighting the closest match to the outside diameter... which stock is 24.2

235/40/17 is 24.0
and
215/45/17 is 24.4 ...i'd go w/ the 215 cause of the rubbing issue..

nice

[Nismoboy1]

thanx

this is what i've been told to get on the different diameter wheels as far as tire sizes:
15x6 - 195/60 stock
16x7 - 205/50
17x7 or 17x7.5 - 215/45
18x7 or 18x7.5 - 215/40
19x7.5 or 19x8 - 225/35

Note: these are sizes for a p11 and as close as possible to the stock overall diameter without rubbing...:flash:

[primera man]

Thats for the info.
Be paying the man who told me what to get a little vist today to see what he has to say

[supac1]

Please advice I am thinking of getting 18 inch rims but dont know what offset im concerned of the rear you know how it goes in i want a plush looks

[Nismoboy1]

my 18x7.5's have a +42mm offset with 215/40 rated tires and they look fine, no rubbing either i say anywhere from +42mm to +45mm offset you'll be ok :frog:

[Chris]

Sounds good. I don't know all the offsets an dsuch, but you should inclued that a 7.5 inch wide rim uses a 225 diameter tire.
Good luck!
