17inch Low-Pro Tires Fit My 1990 240sx Wheel Well?

Will I have any problems with a 17inch tire, I have a 15inch tire in there right now,...? I dont have low profile tires now so I am guessing there will be more room. The tires I got on right now are,
P205/60R 15 89H.


Please help quick I have the option of picking some sweet tiresup for cheap if they will fit but I don't know if they can or will cause problems...

Thanks for your reply.

SIncerely John

So you want to put a 17in tire on a 15in wheel? Think about the size difference and then use a little common sense, it will not fit.

No I have 15inch tires and I want to put in 17inch low pro tires (with rims) instead. I dont want to put a 17inch tire ONTO a 15INCH wheel.

17's will fit, depending on width and offset you may need to do some work for them to fit

I wish I knew more about these tires, Im not sure about the width and I don't even know what offset means. Im not very mechanically inclined. I am actually waiting on more information on them before I purchase them of course. I will keep you updated if you wish to help me further.

Thanks Guy
