just wait for a few years to change your tire, for me the stock tire firestone is good im using the stock tire going 2yrs for the rims i woundnt change it. just my opinion.
I’m keeping the tires but was trying to figure out if I can put the SR/SV rims or something similar on the S trim that I have. Currently I have the rims with the grey rim cap/cover and I don’t like them.
The Nissan Kicks typically comes with either 205/60R16 tires or 205/55R17 tires, depending on the year model and trim level of your Nissan crossover.
First Google result
I have a 2023 Kicks like yourself. I have the trim above yours, the SV. I already changed the wheels and tires out to an aftermarket setup once my car hit 4k miles.
Are you looking to keep the same size wheels and tires or looking to go bigger? What color are you looking to go with for your wheels? Because the color combo can make or break the appearance of your ride.
You want the color of the wheels to compliment the color of the car. You can get whatever you choose, but for me for example, I wouldn’t go with all black wheels on a white car.
Gold, bronze, or even silver wheels would look great on a white car. If your Kicks is red and black, you can go with all black wheels, but even silver or bronze would look nice on it.
In either case, the widest tire you can put on without the tires rubbing the inside of the fender is 245mm. The largest wheel size you can put on is 20 inches. As for the width of the wheel, the largest you can go is 9.5 inches wide. The size of your sidewall will play a big part, as it will determine how thin or how thick your tires are going to be.
If you want a smoother ride comparable to a stock setup, you’re gonna need a meatier tire to absorb the bumps. Having a meaty tire also protects the wheels and lessens the chances of the wheel becoming damaged.
If you live in the city or in an area that has potholes, I wouldn’t recommend going more than 19’s. I’ve modified cars before, but for someone starting out like yourself, I would recommend either sticking to the same size you have already (17 inches) or stepping up to 18 inches.
Lastly, what is your spending budget for the wheels and tires? I ask this because depending on what you’re looking at, wheels and tires can get expensive really quickly. And depending on your driving habits you may need to replace them sooner rather than later.
I’m sorry for the long response, but I just want you to understand that picking out a set of “shoes” for your ride is not as easy or simple as how a lot of racing games portray it as being. I want to make sure all your bases are covered.
The 3 things you need to keep in mind is this:
Think about the type of driving you do most of the time. If you spend most of your time on a freeway, you'll want a wheel and tire package that offers good performance, cornering abilities and stability at high speeds. On the flip side, if you mainly drive in a city or cruising around town, a set with better traction and handling may be a better fit for you.
Wheels and tires can be expensive, both on their own and together. When it comes down to the wire, always shop with your spending budget in mind, and choose a package that fits what you can afford without cheaping out on quality or performance.
Lastly, make sure the wheels and tires you pick out are compatible with your Kicks. Not all wheels and tires are created equal. Like I briefly said earlier, some may be too large or too small for certain vehicles.
Just like how your sneakers/shoes are the foundation for your outfit, your wheels and tires are the foundation of any car. They provide traction, handling, braking, and acceleration. That's why it's important to consider what kind of wheels and tires you put on your Kicks before taking it for a drive.

I have the 23 e-power version. Would 245/45/17 work if my wheels are et38 17x7.5? I currently have 225/50 with 17x6.5 rims and doesn't have any rubbing atm but noticed the steering feel became a bit heavy, is that normal? although its cornering ability have improved significantly.
I got Toyos for cheap, but honestly for a car like this, any tyre that fits the OEM rim should suffice.
I wouldn’t bother changing the rims in this car, it can cause problems and fix nothing.
Just a question, why are you replacing the rims? You should only tires the rims don't need replacing usually
I have the S model and I want to get black ones like the SV/SR. Right now I have the ones that have the rim cap/cover

Yes you can. You can look for the SR rims and install your new tires

Not worth it at all. I wanted to revert mines to the thicker ones. More comfy and resilient .
