So a 265/35/19x9.5 on the back is just fine? I do want a little poke. Any spacer necessary for that? Maybe a 10mm? I just need to figure out spacing on the front to not rub? And your best guess is a 25-30mm spacer for the front, correct? Again, I'm sorry. This is my first car like this and the first time I've had to put tires on it, so I'm beyond lost.

That's my setup The added 15mm and 20mm wheel spacers sure makes a aggressive set up when running factory oem tire sizes

So, just to be clear, to run a square 265/35/19x9.5 setup, I'd need a 20mm spacer up front and a 25mm in the back?

Nope; roughly 25mm more in rear; if you drop on swifts-your camber will go negative more & make it easier for the 10.5” Nismo rear wheels to fit....but looking all through these different threads will help.

20/10" +10 front 255/30
20/11.5" +15 rear 305/30 Iv got SPL suspension parts for the front and rear What kind of camber you guys think Ill need if Im dropped this much. I already have some what of an idea but the more feedback, the better. Im not even close to an expert on the 370z. Last edited by Zerafian; 02-23-2018 at 03:01 PM. |

You should probably give us tire sizes, but . .
Fronts: around 3 deg. I have 20x11 +15, 275/30. I'm at -3 camber. Your size (20x10 +10) is 8mm LESS "poke" than mine; HOWEVER, my fenders have been pulled slightly. You should roll your fenders, and of course, to run that camber, you need some adjustable front upper control arms REARS: 20x11 +0 fits with -2 camber with 285/30. Your size (20x11.5+15) 9mm less, so you should be more than fine with -2 camber. Stock is around -1.8. Given that you are aiming to go pretty low (top of tire to fender), I suspect you'll need adjustable arms to correct toe, even tho camber can be achieved with stock components Something like a 245/35/20 F and 285/30/20 rear would be in the ballpark

let's go back to your original premise: OEM nismo rears on all four corners (19x10.5 +23) with 265/35/19 These will fit. They'll fit with a 20mm spacer in the back. You might need to roll a fender, the only issues i see are maybe in front. But rest assured, folks have run Nismo rears in front ON THE TRACK regularly with no problems, so it is obviously doable, and they do it with more tire than you, albeit also with adjustable suspension components Now, I have questions about the limits you're putting on yourself: 1) Why square 265/35/19 all around? Thats LESS tire in the rear than STOCK, which seems stupid. There may be some track suspension setups where square tires are, in theory, optimal, but you arent doing anything like that, so it seems like a pointless, arbitrary starting point 2) you don't want adjustable suspension arms. Well, your post history mentions spending $13K on engine ****, so spending $700 on suspension seems like a stupid thing not to do, GIVEN your odd limitations - particularly since you seem to want more "poke" than stock All in all, you seem to be clinging to a setup that isn't ideal and isn't what you really want anyways Proposed solution: Get a set of OEM nismos they are 19x9.5 +40 and 19x10.5 +23 Get stock sized tires, 245/40/19 front and 285/35/19 rear These are 100% guaranteed to fit, because, well, its stock. These are 100% available, because, well, they appear in the FS section regularly Put them on the car. See how you like them Now go to the For sale section here and grab some spacers. 15 or 20mm pop up all the time. Slap them on your car. See how you like them. lots of people do this. they will fit. You are making this harder than it needs to be, ESPECIALLY when dealing with an OEM nismo wheel that damn near everyone has It also sounds like you don't know much about wheel fitment and don't seem like you want to put much effort into this, so that is why I have given you an easy, accessible, affordable solution THAT DOESNT require a bunch additional parts/work This thread really shouldn't be that difficult

I don't like 305/30 because it's too tall (27.2 in). Stock is 26.9, i dont see a reason to go higher than stock.
More importantly, you may have too big a difference in height from front to rear - fronts are flat 26 inches; rears are 27.2, thats over an inch difference in rolling diameter That is why i suggested 245/35 and 285/30 you can also probably do 265/30 and 315/25 or 325/25

I actually went too conservative in the rear - coulda gone with a 325/25/30 pretty easily. But, this was the first set of wheels for the Z so it was a bit of experimentation

The reason for that specific size was to be able rotate my tires to extend life, and based on what I've read thus far, 265 is as wide as you can go in the front without modification. It was an idea I had, but as I previously stated, I'm totally new to this, so I asked a question, which if I'm not mistaken, that's what this is for. I have read through quite a bit of this thread, but no, not all 170 pages. Maybe someone has kindly laid out exactly how to do this in a previous post and I missed it. Maybe not. The point here is I am reading on my own, but I'm also asking questions about this I don't understand. I'm happy to admit when I don't know things and ask for the help of those that do. I do not own the Nismo rims yet, and while I understand what you're saying that going from a 285 to a 265 is not the wisest decision, it's still an upgrade for me as mine is a base and currently has the factory 245 on the rear. Again, I'm totally new to all of this, so I'm trying to learn by asking questions that I have yet to run across answers to.

The answer then is you're putting lots of pointless restrictions that are creating unnecessary hurdles
Rotating tires? this is a performance RWD car. It's gonna have staggered tires. Get over it? You want tire wear, no upgraded suspension components, square set up, but poke in rear. just all over the place. Throw on the staggered nismos and some spacers, be done with it. If you're not willing to go low and adjustable suspension there's no reason try to deviate from stock. You'd just be half assing it.
