Also Baronsmokes; Just noticed you're in a Roadster...I know that you would need a rollcage for some event's...if you decided to Drag-Race or something.
(Blueranger) has a TT Roadster & has a thread on that.

You have talked me into changing suspension.I will look at posts on suspension.

@hotrodz I suppose I didn't really think of that. I'm not opposed to 305's if it'll clear. Plan on sticking with Pilot SS. Do you mind posting a pic of your setup? tia.

Here some pics of that I took test fitting my 18x11's with 305/35 drag radials on the front https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cba5b3e4c9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d7501ffac8.jpg

Didn't intend on doing that; but you will have full control of your adjustments.
Hard to beat the SPL quality component's. As I haven't gotten any yet / but only praises heard about their products.

Sorry I completely forgot about the offsets, the guy selling them didn't tell me them right off the bat. So the wheel specs are 20x9.5 +35 and 20x11 +38.. How else would I say lowering kit lol I guess I could have said Swift Springs but as I said I don't know if 1 inch drop would be too much or not cause I don't wanna roll my fenders. And I know those offsets are high but I could get 15mm spacers? Or what would yall recommend and for the tires I was asking what's the biggest I could go without scraping lol.

Offsets aren't terrible; as you could push them out a tad (if you desire) & that depends on how low you go & what camber you're willing to run.
Heck; that 11"+38 is practically in the center of the huge rear fenderwells-with the tire's stood
Upright & minimal negative camber.
You said getting a deal on wheels; unsure what you plan to spend on tire's? Have you picked outa mfg.? As they will vary.
Going by spec on Michelins PSS; 265/35,305/30 are a good fitment on these width wheels.
They are 27.3/27.2" diameter & shouldn't rub anything.
Didn't know if you wanted to be lower profile than that...price swing & sizes vary a lot w/20's.

Deqos 08-11-2017 06:52 AM

I want beefy tires haha, I wanted the Bridgestone re11s not sure about sizes as I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all this. But I'm willing to put money into good tires as I'd rather spend now than have shitty tires mess up and end up paying more later on.

jchammond 08-11-2017 08:42 AM

I don't think the RE11's are made in 20's

Deqos 08-11-2017 11:56 AM

Well what tire would you recommend then ? Id like to run like 265/305 or similar. I was thinking maybe the nittos but they have so many I wouldn't know which to pick lmao, I live in Texas so we get rain occasionally but not really enough for it to make a huge difference in my pick.

I can't spend your $$$$ for you; but the PS4S supposed to be premium.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4d28cd2541.jpg

I think ima just miss out on the deal. 20's would make it to where I can't have the tires I want and the tires are a lot more expensive lmfao. Im just buy 19's and get Hankook v12s 265/35 in the front and Re-11s 305/30 in the back both have a diameter of 26.3 so im assuming that that would be a fine set up. Thanks for all the information tho jchammond!

NorthStyle 08-12-2017 01:57 AM

Don't mix tires if you don't need to... either get the V12s all around or the RE11s.

Ok,
Wasn't sure if you were gonna stay close to oem diameter or not.
As a 325/30/19 will easily go under fender & is largest that the RE11 is currently made in.
An 11" wheel is ideal-but some put them on rear Nismo 10.5" wheels & I've even seen them on 12" wide wheels.
Just whatever you like; plenty of room underneath there to work.

ZZZ_34 08-12-2017 07:31 AM

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.

jchammond 08-12-2017 07:35 AM

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..

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.

Rusty 08-12-2017 04:55 PM

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 :ugh2:

How's this setup? Will they fit over the sport brakes? What width should I get?
Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 225/50R18 95T
TR Motorsport C2 18x8.5 38mm offset

Bumping this... Anyone?

MaysEffect 08-17-2017 12:05 AM

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 08-17-2017 12:11 AM

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

Deqos 08-17-2017 07:57 AM

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.

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 :mad:.

Enkei NT03+M 18x10.5
 
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.

How do these tires and wheels fit?

Hey In2uitiv, did you implement this wheel and tire set up? If so, any complements/complaints?

For starter's...rear tire's are 1" taller than front's & would cause the "Christmas-Tree" effect.
Include your suspension info....including camber settings (example-stock,lowered on swift's,etc...)

Also, depending on what you're driving (base,sport,nismo) the outer wheel lip's will sit this much further out than oem wheels.
Base : F+47mm,R+30mm
Sport : F+38mm,R+32mm
Nismo: F+25mm,R+19mm

Lvcky69 09-16-2017 05:00 PM

I'm buying some m368s 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear 20+ all around, most likely going to run 245/35 front and 275/35 rear.. currently have 20mm front and 25mm spacers rear. My question is, can I still have the same spacers if I decide to go for this setup or do I have to go a little lower? Like 10mm front and 15mm rear? Thanks

depend's on your alignment specs. & how you prefer for it to look.

if your suspension & alignment is factory-they will poke with the spacer's...You may only need 10-15mm on rear's to even up with the front's.

Are you in a Sport w/9's & 10's with those 20/25mm spacer's?

If so,,,a 15mm spacer in rear only; will put your outer lip's dang close to where you are now.
