look around at what people have, find a style you want, find out how you want it to fit, poking, flush, tucked etc. then ask what the best option is for you.

yeah i see that now

but yeah the 305/25 is a very thin sidewall. Its one main reason why i didnt want to go with 11's and instead went with 12"s. so i could get the 325

you would be able to fit the 325 on your wheel, it would be slightly larger, but I dont think you could fit it with the offset you have.

In my opinion you can go more aggressive but will lose steering response.
Mine feels just about right.
When I was looking at my z today I realized you can go 275/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears. and it will sit just right. Not even flush.
I am not dropped, nor do I plan on dropping since I dd my Z and my area is terrible for dropped cars.

I just bought a the evo V12s for my Z as well, but with 275-35 (stock spec for Sport). I wanted 255-35 like you, but the Tire Rack agent seemed in a hurry to sell me the evos. I was also thinking of getting Sumitomo HTRZ-III and putting 275-40-19 on the rear. He said the tolerances on our car were so tight that the tire would probably scrape (from "35" to "40" will scrape?). I ended up just going ahead with the purchase, because after two days of looking, a trip coming up next week, and worn-out rears, I needed rubber. But I then found that I could have bought the evos for the same or less at my nearby Big Brand Tire store by using the rebates listed on their website, and I would have been supporting local business. So, my Rx: Plan ahead, be well rested, and take a polite but assertive attitude into shopping for any tire or wheel and any size. The RPF-1 issue(s) is/are an example. There have been many opinions posted on what will fit and what will not, with different posters offering different opinions. I didn't mean to jack your post/question, but in general I was offering the opinion: Politely question advice unless you know it to be accurate, take your time, and do not but impulsively, especially when going to modified set-ups.

Good luck,
Jeffrey

To start things off i know nothing about buying or choosing wheels.What Size BBS LM-Rs would be best? Like I want to go for a large rim size and it be wide but i didnt know what size would be best... i want it to be flush with the car so would i need spacers? here are the sizes of the wheel..

LM-R:19 x 8.5 LM-R:19 x 9.5 LM-R:19 x 10 LM-R:19 x 11 20 x 8.5 LM-R:20 x 9LM-R:20 x 9.5 LM-R:20 x 10

Oh and i would like that staggered look too.



Edit: And also what does the bolt pattern and offset need to be?

[daisuke149]

19x10 + 30 with 275/35/19
19x11 + 15 with 305/30/19

those SHOOOOULd be about right. Before you go jump on it let others chime in too.

Hi, I have a stock 2010 Nismo and wanted to put on Michelin super sports in a 275/35/19 and a 305/30/19 on the rear. Does anyone know if that will work?

Yes it will.

That's great, I was worried the most about the front tires since the tread width will be 1.5" wider. I wasn't sure it would tuck under the fender without rubbing. It is .8" shorter though. Is that why it will work?

I have 275/35/19 up front on a 19x10+26 and only scrape on dips in the roads. Your OEM Nismo front wheels are 19x9.5+40. I'm also lowered, which doesn't help my case. Either way, your front wheels are 1" more inside the fender than mine are. You have nothing to worry about.
