17 Nismo Tires

derbydreamer · 03-13-2021, 01:05 PM

Hey guys, I've tried to do a ton of research but haven't come up with a solid answer.

I just bought a 17 Nismo and want to run wider tires on the stock wheels. I'll be putting Feal 441 coilovers on. Was hoping to run 265/35 in front and 305/30 in back.

Is this possible without any issues? Does anyone else have this setup?

Appreciate the time!

Not sure how much drop you'll get with those coilovers but I've seen stock height Nismo's run 285's in the front without issue. 305's out back should be easy.

This is what I'm running on the stock NISMO rims.

Kirk, you're running 285/35/19 and 305/30/19? Is your vehicle lowered?

How much does lowering the vehicle play into cutting back the sizes that you can run? I'm assuming the issue when lowered is the front, is that right?

Thanks guys.

I lied. It's been almost a year, so...
255/40 up front. I remember looking at 285's, among other options, but ultimately went with the 255's to keep the tire diameters closer.
I'm not lowered. Mine Is a DD, and Beaumont streets prohibit it. I still drag the chin on occasion.

265/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears is a popular combo for the Nismo wheels. You’ll be fine. Check thread below.
