Stock class lets you run whatever you can fit on stock size rims...nismo has an extra half inch of rim to work with over the base z (and as much as 3" over other contenders). Tires are absolutely huge in determining how fast you can go.


If it was me, I'd be running rears all around. They're very aggressive up front, but a 10" front rim makes the car absolutely nasty. With good tires, the grip limits are unbelievably high--will probably leave your balls as the limit, rather than grip
