Came across a decent deal on some Blizzacks mounted on 16" Nissan Maxima steel wheels on CL.

Anyone know if I'll have any issues with clearing the brakes on my is300 with these? Pretty sure the bolt-pattern is the same, but don't know if the steelies will give me problems.

Any help would be appreciated, as I definately need snows here in Pittsburgh.

Thanks.

sorry, no help on the brake clearance issue, and you may not find anyone with experience in doing that... I can tell you that the Nissan's center bore is larger than Toyota's (66.1 vs 60.1mm) so the center bore will fit, and that the bolt pattern is the same, and that the offsets between the two vehicles are pretty close...

Unfortunately, the only way to tell for sure may be to try it yourself...

Thanks for the info. I'm not thrilled about steelies (would prefer alloys of some sort) but for snows, I can live with them.

Just hate to spend $350 and not have them clear the brakes.

yah... sorry I can't be of any more help... the IS doesn't have real big brakes or anything, so it should be ok, but then again, should work is a long ways from will work
