crazy pilot is right
i dont know why yours wouldnt fit then. i just put 255/50wr16 on 16x7.5 no problem. see how the load rating is important. for comparison, a 255/35yr18 is the back tire on a bmw 335i, much lighter than the front of our cars at 2100 lbs. try the 245/45yr18 (c5 vette,jag xk) from tires-easy.com discounttiredirect.com tirerack.com or edgeracing.com. you'll eliminate the understeer and long braking distances.

I have 245/40-18's on mine, and I had to roll the fenders some.
It might be because they are mounted on the Murano wheels, not sure what the offset is on those.

handling?
how is the understeer compared to stock? my 255/50wr16s have a 38mm offset and fit perfect. thats like a 255/40yr18

Really didnt drive it all that much before I put the new tires on it.
So I dont have much to base off of. Altho there was a time last week where I was making a sweeping corner in the rain and the backend wanted to swap with the front I just let off the go pedal a little and it was fine

Well, one thing I dont like that much is the ride. I feel every little bump in the road now.
I've never had this type profile tire before and wasnt expecting it, but I'm getting used to it. Not to mention the look I get in it

I hear you on that one... I feel EVERYTHING with the muranos and the Koni's on almost full firm . But the fun factor in the ride has increased and people notice the car way more now.

ride
that's why i kept the 255/50-16s. plus all season rubber has a softer ride and a softer low temp compound. there really is no point in having summer tires when you compare the hard #s on tirerack.com's tire tests. plus you get longer tread wear. i also like i can run higher psi for even better handling, acceleration and mpg with the huge tires.

fyi
the goodyear f1 a/s tied the f1 gsd3 in the dry slalom time and beat the gsd3 in the dry breaking.

I can't wait for you to auto-x with your tires. You will see sooooo fast how dumb these recommendations are that you are making.

the last autox is 10/27
unless you know of another. those testarossa side vents are called door strakes. we'll have an official before and after on my handling with stock suspension and 44psi from tomssvx.
