The "Will it fit?" thread

[ZZZ_34]

I just purchased 20" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S' all around and performance wise, I can tell you they are well worth the money paid! They are excellent looking to boot. I have Bridgestone S04 Pole Positions on my stock sport wheels and they are a pretty good bang for your buck.

Just wondering, but what would the issue be with mixing them if the diameter is the exact same? I want the Re11s in the rear for the performance they give and traction but don't need all that in the front so the V12s are still great but a lot cheaper per wheel lol. If there is a big issue then I won't do it..

Could be dangerous during spirited driving;
As 2 completely different tread compounds & tread designs.
They could give you confidence on certain roads & then go stupid & cause you to lose control.
I know this sounds extreme; but you're not riding in a to & from work pos.
These cars can hurt you & the tires are a very important part of keeping everything balanced & under control.

It's not the best idea to mix tires front and rear. Sometimes you can get some weird handling issues. There have been a couple of threads on the subject.

The previous owner of my car saw fit to put garbage on the front and nitto nt555 out back. The understeer is just fantastic

If Bridgestone would pick up the 345/30/19 size, that Michelin appears to be deleting;
I'd try a set of 285/35,345/30's in those next set.
Otherwise may end up with 275/35,325/30's..

Has anyone fitted 265/40/19 Front - 305/35/19 rear?

From what i've noticed many people decided to step down a profile respectively. This is not something i'm interested in doing as its a lower overall diameter.

[OptionZero]

OEM is 245/40/19 = 26.7 inches
265/35/19 = 26.3 inches
265/40/19 = 27.3 inches

Seems like a 35 series is actually closer to stock

That said, if you have height and camber adjustment, there's no reason you couldn't fit 265/40 in front. I have seen folks running tires over 27 inches

My point was that it's thinner. Which is less sidewall protection and lower load rating. Which is why i'm not interested. But it seems the tire industry agrees to this sentiment as there are very few 265/40 - 305/35 options on the market .

Okay so i think i have decided but would like to know yalls opinions and what I should change.
Ferrada FR3 19x9.5 F +20 19x10.5 R +25 as for the tires I plan on either the Re-11s in 265/35 F 305/30 R or the S-04 in the same sizes.. I daily drive the car, occasionally do some "spirited" street driving lol and maybe in the future ill take it to a couple track days but not entirely sure. I do plan on lowering it at least an inch and was also wondering what camber I should be looking to run to make it sit either flush or a bit aggressive (a poke is fine by me). Thanks for any feedback

With the offsets that you have posted; the front's are way more aggressive vs the rears.
Go to [Official 370z]wheel fitment guide(pics/specs only) and check out all of the different setups.
As it is common to see 19x9.5+25 & 19x10.5+12 with that same tire size.
If you're gonna lower & track the car and desire a bit of poke,,, lessen the + a tad on each one...as there are lots of Z's pictured w/all alignment settings on that page.

This page; I don't think I placed brackets correctly.

Wondering whether these will fit my '15 Sport (w/ Akebonos). I want to go to a square set up with 18s for a dedicated track set. I got a line on 4 Enkei NT03+M in 18x10.5; offset is +30; fitted with Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec - Size: 285/30R18. Any inputs on whether these will fit without rubbing?

Thanks!

I run a square set up of nt03 18x10.5 +30 with Toyo r888 295 30's and you will by fine with the 285 30's. You will need 20 mm spacers for the rear to make them flush. I run 15 mm spacers because Nismo off sets. To bad you don't live close I could make you a good deal on that wheel rim set up.

[jchammond]

You got 20/25mm F/R spacer's on the 18" base wheels in those pic's?
