Could use help with a rather odd issue

DEpointfive0

I'd do 275 and 305, it's what I ran, and I loved it.


Also, OP, did you go through any automated car washes?

I did, octopus car wash, I guess I didn't think about that. I don't suppose the wider tire will protect against that possibility?

kenchan

actually even 285/35/19 S04's have like 8mm of lip protection on my 10.5" wheel on my G.

on the contrary, the DW's i have on 10.5" wheel has literally ZERO wheel protection. it's the round sidewalls that kill lips.

i run stock nismo sizes on my nismo set. 245/40/19 and 285/35/19.

they are plenty wide and sticky for my ride.

kenchan

yah, i was talking to my son while i was typing. fixed the typo just now.

yah, those are the sport wheel sizes. nismo's run 285/35/19 on the rears.

hermit

Ah, for a minute there I was googling to make sure I had the right information about mine, lol.

kenchan

yah, just to clarify:

sport package wheels are 19x9 with 245/40/19 and 19x10 275/35/19
nismo wheels are 19x9.5 with 245/40/19 and 19x10.5 285/35/19

hermit

Thanks for that, I thought they were the same as the nismo. I think that will help a bit on the decision.

kenchan

yah, plus no offense, but those are those junk v12's. they dont belong on a car like our Z if you consider yourself a car enthusiast.

yep if ure going to run FI, i'd go with FP's setup probably with the RE11's.

hermit

Oh, I definitely agree these tires are junk.

kenchan

btw, dont get the 275/35/19 size S04's. i mentioned this many times but for some reason the S04's in that size is narrow. probably for them hella flusha toilet folks. definitely go 285/35/19 if S04's. i speak from experience.

hermit

I will remember that, thanks. My car is currently in the process of getting turbos installed. So, I will be running boost. I'm thinking a bit more width may help.

hermit

My rear tires are 275/35, so now I know they are not the right size, stupid dealership.

hermit

Looks like a $304 difference, that's not bad. Do these run well in 265/35 and 305/30 as well? Or would I want to size down on these?

MacCool

Unknown. I"m just running stock sport-package sizes Front: 245/40-19 Rear: 275/35-19.

Some people prefer the looks of the bigger tires I guess. Doesn't do anything for me. You'll only get about 13,000 - 18,000 miles out of a set of any of these performance tires. I see no need to overspend. YMMV
