totaly agree. if I go the 17' route I will deff run a 40 series

The reason the Azenis suck for drag is because of the stiff sidewall. The NT01 won't be much better, although maybe a little especially if you heat them up. Just FYI.

I am a nerd and unsprung weight is my sworn enemy!!

My vote: Stay away from 17s and just run as wide a wire of possible with a big a profile as possible if your worried about gearing for all that power;

aka: I vote RPF-1 (or 949 6UL) 15x8 with some 225/50-15 and call it a day!! Other than looks (and thats pushing it), I do not think the fender wells on a sentra should try to swallow anything above 16 inch in wheel diameter!!

p.s. Ben has a point..............

Quick frankly, I think a meatier tire on a sentra looks much better than more wheel in the fender wells.

Just me though..............

I feel ya. Its just I've been on a 15' for 4 years now. I'm ready for a different look. I preffer a 16' but I can't get those NT01's in a 205 series. 245 is the only 16' they make in that tire.

I would like to have a list of possible tire/wheel sizes and whether or not they fit on various chassis without coilovers.

What is the biggest tire that will fit in a B13 in a 15"? 17"

For my sake, what's the biggest that will fit in a B14?

I'm feeling the RPF1 in 17", they look terrible in 15 imho. But to each his own. Once you get into the big power, you need big brakes and a larger contact patch for traction. Those 17s sure would open up a lot of available sizes. They fit big brakes too.
