Does anyone know if there is any safety issue involved if I use 205/70R15 tires on my 1998 5-speed Altima?

I know it is supposed to be 195/65R15 but it just happens that I have these at hand instead of buying real ones.

thanks

Actually I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be 205/60-15. I don't know about safety, but your speedo will definitely be quite a bit off, and you might have clearance issues of some kind.

The tire your trying to put on it approx. 1.5 inches taller than stock. So NO!

195/65/15 was only on the 98/99
the 2k/1's went back to 205/60/15 for stock.

Either one can be used on either gen.

well, I've ran 205/65/r15 last time... scrubbed in the rear when the suspension compresses.
