Um....okay, I'm pretty sure I can yack a bit about the wheel sizes, that's
public knowledge:
Base, Enthusiast, and Touring (Automatic) Models: 225/50-17 and 235/50-17
rubber on 17x7.5 and 17x8 rims.
Performance & Touring (Manual) Models: 225/45-18 and 245/45-18s on 18x7.5
and 18x8 rims.
Track model: 225/45-18 and 245/45-18s on 18x7.5 and 18x8.5 lightweight
Rayes rims.
As for how big a tire will fit, I did take the time, much to Nissan's
amazement, to jack the car up and take lots of pictures of the wheel wells
and all the nifty aluminum suspension bits & stuff, but I can't really
discuss my findings until July 3rd, sorry :(.

Forget tires, what's the wheel sizes? Is there room inside the fender to
shoehorn in bigger tires?
