305/30/19 Tires on 370 Nismo Wheels

tzwilliam · 01-19-2015, 01:59 PM

Is there enough clearance on a 2013 370Z to use 305/30/19 tires with 2013 OEM Nismo wheels?

Yes

305 on Nismo with 15 mm spacers here too.

I've been thinking of 315 with my next set. Anyone running 315???

you should be able to fit 315s on the nismo wheels. I know 305 is the limit for the sport rays.

305 on a 10.5" wheel as well. Tires are a small piece of the puzzle with our cars, the way our rear end is setup is absolutely horrible for putting power to the ground.

Yep, Mickey has a new tire coming out in Apr. May with a street legal tread and a R2 compound, Sport Comp SS I think was the tire, can't remember the side wall, but most likely will be a 305/35/19.

I already know brother. I've been thinking of having a way to add and remove weights over the axle also. Would prob help a bit

LOL, well the ET Street II's are already a R2 compound, but not great if it rains. they showed us the new tires at SEMA back in Nov. their sending me a set of 20" for my truck to try when they're out.

I would flatten the tire (camber wise) first, then add weight if you need, but getting that tire flat would make a world of difference at the strip.
