I have 295 R888's on my 350z. 19x10.5 Volk GTS. Fits just right. I wouldn't use it on a smaller rim tho... It'll fit, but it might roll a bit. R888's are slightly underrated in size. 295's are more like 305's of other brand tires.

Hope this helps.

Seems there was some disagreement on whether it would be too wide or just right (I know the diameter will be off ay a bit on both) -- thoughts?

Am also open to other suggestions -- I had really wanted to do 245/40 F and 285/35 R, but those sizes seem to be tough to find in R compounds :shakeshead:

Basically, I want sticky, as wide as OEM or wider, and ideally a few lbs lighter (that's how I arrived at the R88's, BTW).

Any suggestions will be welcome
