Default 255/55/18 on Stock wheels

My '17 FSport AWD came with 225/60/18 but I want to get little fatter tires. I'm thinking about 255/55/18. This new size is only about 1.4% larger than the old ones (727 mm vs 737 mm) and I believe it is OK.

Question: Does anyone run this size on the STOCK wheels? Do they rub? If they do then did you add Wheel Spacers to remedy that rubbing?

Thank you all.

I been looking at this size as well, or even 245/55R18 which would be the same diameter. I've read that the 4.4 RAV4 (shares the same chassis as the NX) guys running this size with no problems.

Awesome.

may I ask why different sizes of spacers? Would it be okay without spacers?

thanks.

u should be fine.. I got spacers on because I want the bulky look .
The nx has different offsets that's why I had to use different size spacers...

would you be able to post pictures of front to back and back to front? I would like to see how much the back wheels extend out because of the 30 mm spacers.

thanks for helping.
