************************************************** ***********
What's up team 370Z?

Here's my situation: I have a set of 19x11 +22 rims for the rear that my stock 275 tires won't fit. The rim is too wide.

Question #1: What size tires would you all recommend for me on the rear for this rim? I may want to lower in the future an inch or two, but won't mind staying stock height if I have to.

Edit: the center cap on the rim gets pushed out by the center nut, so I may have to run a small spacer as well if I can't figure something out otherwise.

Question #2: My current front tires fit well, but I don't want to throw away my current rear tires when they are replaced with question #1. Will the stock 275 tires fit on the front of the car? Wheel size is 19x9.5 +15.

I'd like to stay away from extreme camber and such if possible. Its my DD, so I don't want any rubbing. I'm assuming by Angelo's post above, I should be fine with 295's or 305's, but just wanted to be sure before I buy another pair of tires that I can't use.

My car has the sport brakes as well. Please let me know if you need more information to answer my questions.

Thanks in advance...
************************************************** ***************
up to a 325/30/19 will fit the +22,11" rear wheels w/5.125" front spacing on the wheel....should be fine with stock camber (roughly -1.6*)
Your front's would accept those tires if the offset was a bit more positive;
your current wheel set-up has 4.64" of front spacing on the Front & 5.125" in rear (hub-face to outer lip of wheel)
camber for the front stock is (roughly-.8*)
rear of car is factory tuned with twice as much negative camber & twice as much positive toe.
look through all the threads & note the camber settings....when you drop your car; your negative camber will increase,,,some people's car's are staying within specs on front w/minimal drop-but use camber arms on rear to bring back to spec.
GO TO [Official]370z wheel fitment guide (pics/specs) only & look closely...some very well & not so well fitted wheels.

JcHammond: Thanks sofa king (<-read that out loud) much for slowing down to read my post and give a post that I can digest. Being an Engineer, I don't mind doing the research, but testing and second opinions are just as important from those with experience. You answered my questions for the present and future, front and back. I've got 4 different sets of tires in a shopping cart on 4 different websites and have been to several different tire stores trying to get help. I can now order my tires with confidence without the worry of throwing away my current tires. I'm going to go with the 305/30/19. It's what I wanted to begin with but just wasn't absolutely sure.
How in the hell do I give this guy some rep points?!?!?

The 20" wheels and tires would fit without issues, you could even use spacers in the rear.

The 18" rears would also fit, but your tires would be stretched.

A bit of help would be GREATLY appreciated

Fitment? Flush? Spacers needed?

Flip the offsets on the 20's (+25F & +20R) no problems with fitment/riding the fence on the Christmas tree effect.
18's will poke with those offsets!

20x8.5+19F & 20x10+12R will be the closest to flush without poking all out///pending tires,camber,etc....
that's 4" of front spacing (front) & 5" front spacing (rear)
These car's have a 1" stagger offset.
the 8.5et20's will fit the front,,,but you would need 10-15mm spacer's for rears;on the et25 10"

I have a set of 2011 GTR wheels and I believe the specs for the rear at 20x10.5 ET25. I was given a set of Micheline PSS 325/30/20 for the rear. My Z roadster is lowered on Eibach springs (about an 1"). Will these tires fit?

just get the same te37 sizing that everyone scared to get adjustable suspension gets

19x9.5 22 front
19x10.5 +22 or +12 rear

it fits, you can get some good tire on it, and they pop up used fairly regularly

its pretty conservative imo, but if you don't wanna do any work u can just slap it on like everyone else does

If you can mount the tire without tearing it up....11-12" wheel for that wide,
but i do want to see them on it!
between .75 & 1" taller than factory & should tuck nicely and be similar to Nismo fit.
If you have the wheels & given the tires.....Heck Yeah i'd try it.....you just gotta run close to a 27.5ish up front.

pending on camber spec....1" stagger is roughly 1/2" less offset in rear.
So +12 would be better in back.
very common is +25/+12(9.5/10.5)
+22 may want a +10 10.5 to even out.....look around at the pages.

I have a set of 27" (255/35/20) fronts I could use. Would that be close enough?
