I know I might be pushing it, since the profile's 55, most people go 45 or 50.

1) On stock SE suspension, will these wheels fit, or are they too big?

2) Lowered (most likely Tokico with Illuminas), will they fit?

Any rubbing / scraping over bumps or at full turn?

I browsed through numerous pages but didn't find anyone running 55 profile tires, so any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Update: Yes, they do fit!

I was supposed to study for my Japanese class final all weekend but I heard the wheels in my garage call out to me over the pitter patter of rain drops, so I replaced them yesterday.

Surprisingly, the ride quality with 2002 Altima 17" wheels are better than with my stock 215/60/15 wheels. I'm riding on stock SE suspension.

215/60/15 has an approximate DLR (Dynamic Load Radius) of 306mm. 215/55/17 has a DLR of about 323mm. Given the bigger wheel combo, my car is riding a bit higher now. There is no rubbing as far as I can tell.

Wheel gap is less also
I think I'll delay my drop until next year, since I will need new tires when I drop. Probably Falken 512s then.

The wheels have a slight stockish look to them, but they are way better than the stock 15". I'll post pics up next weekend or so. I need to do an alignment soon so I don't mess the tires up.
