Mike,

I agree with your conclusions and I pretty much got my questions answered about running bigger tires in the Nismo without any rubbing or handling issues. Sounds like 11.1” or 11.5” or even a little more won’t be an issue. I guess at the end of the day it now comes down to what tire is better when tracking the car. That is a can of worms I don’t think I want to open. I try to track my car for 2 days every 3-4 weeks and since I can’t afford a spare set of Hoosiers and rims the good news is that it sounds like I can’t go wrong with either tire manufacture or the sizes I am looking at.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
