well yeah...we've all seen some stupid *** sh*t. Im not interested in being an idiot. I just want a safe tire size that has this kind of "arrangement" on the wheel. Im the kind of person that wont run anything smaller than a 275/30 on a 10.5" wide wheel.

Are PCD Adaptors safe? IE H&R do a 5X120 to 5x114.3 20mm PCD Adapter. (Wanting to use some alloys I bought and had drilled for my BMW on the 370Z)

I have not heard of many people using these and would appreciate some input

Thanks!

Pics not very good; but an unmounted 325/30/19 is wider than a Nitto Invo 345/30...both are lying flat on floor.

thanks man, yeah Iv done a lot of reading that tire model and make can make a big difference. I was looking at Michelin pilot sports from the get go so the info is helpful for sure.

I can provide some more pics & measurements if needed.
Recovering from accident & gets bored sitting around house- I got them in the house with me staying warm.

Im not gonna say no man, its all gonna help me. Im so use to dealing with 9.5/10.5 wheels. This aggressive setup Im going with on the car is new to me. I can only spend so much damn time on google.

The bead design on the 305’s are actually a bit inward with a bead guard ... more designed for a 10.5 or 11” wheel.
The 325’s are for 11 & up.

[jchammond]

Here’s 2 stacked on top of each other.
25.5” for 305’s & 27” for 325’s

Heck, ride by the house & check them out... I’m not advertising them for sale/ but you could possibly leave with a couple.

at least a 2 hour drive to the border, lawdy no!

As most people are probably aware; especially if you perform your on mounting & dismounting of tires...that the overall width of a wheel (edge to edge) is approximately 1” wider than wheel specs....which are measured from bead to bead on wheel.
This can be confusing to some/ as when looking at backspace chart & figuring where outside wheel edge/lips will sit.
And camber plays a huge role in the leaning of top of wheel...I made a chart for a 26.5” wheel; that showed how much lean per degree of camber.(misplaced it)
But my personal preference is to have tires w/tread as wide as overall width of Wheels....or close. Some people shoot for the section width to be the same as overall width...as these 255/295’s will be....but a lighter & narrower tire will be faster on the straights for sure.
It’s all about what the owner prefers & we’re lucky to have huge wheel wells to accommodate everyone’s taste.

[jchammond]

Found the camber chart i made & to keep it simple; the top of a 26.5” tire will lean 1/2” per degree of camber...this is the determining factor when spec’ing out wheels & why sometimes it’s best to setup suspension to liking-before ordering custom wheels.

I'm thinking about going with a square setup, maybe 265/35/19x10.5 with a 20mm spacer in the rear, 2014 Nismo rims. Any issues with that?

[OptionZero]

Nismo rear = 19x10.5 +23
with spacer it becomes effectively +3

I know that 20x11 +0 will clear with a 285/30 tire and -2 deg camber

If you have only 265's, you should be fine.

Fronts you may need adjustable front upper arms to dial in some camber depending on your height.

Most folks run 19x9.5 +22 in front with a 265/35. Your wheel will be approximately 13mm further outboard due to the added width

[jchammond]

Agreed w/OZ
May need 25 or 30mm spacers on rear to be uniform...(depending camber adjustment).
