NISSAN Maxima Tire Sizes and Rim Dimensions by Model Year and Trim
The NISSAN Maxima features varying tire size markings and rim dimensions depending on the model year and trim. Early models typically use tire sizes like 215/55R17 on rims measuring 7 inches wide by 17 inches in diameter. Newer Maxima trims often upgrade to wider tires and rims, such as 245/40R19 on 8.5x19 inch wheels, enhancing performance and aesthetics.\n\nWhen comparing trims, it is important to consider the rim width × diameter combination as it affects tire fitment and handling characteristics. Higher trims generally come with larger rims and lower-profile tires, while base trims use smaller rims with higher-profile tires for comfort.\n\nTo ensure tire compatibility, always refer to the tire size markings on the original equipment or owner's manual. When upgrading wheels or tires, maintaining the recommended rim width and diameter helps preserve vehicle safety and performance. Understanding the differences across model years and trims streamlines the selection process for Maxima owners.
