Volk TE37SL
19x10.5+22 all round
Wanting to run staggered tires, maybe F: 265/35 and R: 285-295?

Unsure on tires so if you know the best fit that would be great. Looking to go meaty

PS: I am currently at stock height but might considering lowering if needed. Not looking to run excessive camber

Thanks guys

I'm sure owner of this Beauty won't mind;
But here's an example.
9.5"wide +20Front w/265's
12"wide +26 Rear w/325's
If he had 10" wide wheels on front: then his offset could be +26 also & only stick out .006" more;barely noticeable.
It's all in what YOU like.....& not everyone else.
Have a nice day!

I am wondering if something will fit. I have a 2012 370z with the OEM rays

I am looking at 4 Axis Hiros. 19x9.5 +40 so 4 of them all around. Will it fit and clear front breaks?

Are you planning to use wheel-spacers to bring them closer to a flush fit?
if so; i'd say yes.

probably would need 15-20mm spacer in front (15more conservative)
and 30-40mm in rear,,,pending on how close to flush you want them.

Hi all, I have a 2011 Nismo (weekend warrior and track days) and would like to put on 285/40 on back and 245/35 on front in order to throw a little bit more car weight onto the front wheels. The front is not a concern but the back is questionable. Does anyone know if the extra 14mm around will cause issues with the wheel well? And please let me know if your information is based on experience...I have researched this to death and am still scared I will end up with an $800 "tarp weight" (giant paper weight).

Thanks for all you comments.

Where you at in Pa? What you need is a bigger swaybar on the front.

I'm in Morgantown PA...I read your entire journal...you still near Pittsburgh? Front sway, perhaps I will consider it. I am hoping I will be getting an SC this summer so I held off on a few other upgrades for fear it would interfere or be irrelevant with SC install.

why not go with RE-11s and 285/35 R and 245/40 F?

its the widths you wanted, the overall diameter is only .2" larger in the R

I have 285/35 on rear now and 245/40 on front now. Want to transfer bit more of weight on rear wheel up to front. One way to do that is to raise the rear a bit and lower the front a bit. I'm not sure the significant of the RE-11. I have no problem switching from Yokos to Pirelli or Michellin, or any other brand that has the size, but I question the fit as going from 35 to 40s in rear will put rubber 14mm closer to fenderwell and will raise the rear by 28mm couple that with the reduction of the front tires should produce a little less understeer.

I was just wondering if anyone tried 40s. If not, I will consider going wider on front to promote more traction up front while retaining same on back...bit that is not my first choice.

The tire combination you want to run may be too much difference in tire height. 245/35-19 is 26.7". The 285/40-19 is 28.0" That might upset the computer. You might want to rethink this. Keeping the stock Nismo rims. You can go 285/35-19 (26.9) front and 295/35-19 (27.1) rear. You would be almost a square set-up.

Be ready to disable any factory ABS or Traction control completely; That's a 2"+ taller tire in rear?

[YzGyz]

I have: 2010 Nismo stock height, stock suspension

I have a set of HR Pro 5 racing rims that I would like to put Drag radials on.

Spare rim brand: HR size 19/10 +44 offset
How wide and tall of a tire can I safely get on there? I have to drive 50 minute to and then 50 minutes from the track with them on.







Thanks in advance

Driving that far too & from the track...i'd bout only rely on Mickey Thompson Drag Radials.
The 19" choice is very slim (1) 27.90" tall
This will reduce your hole-shot,unless you have lower gears.
Should clear fine & tuck well underneath fender/ & i'm guessing you have already installed rear camber arms;to stand them upright?
Not sure how big your brakes are; but better selection in 18" & down.

Stock Akebono brakes. I have read that 18's will clear however, the HR are the rim I have in storage to use. As for the MT DR, can you clearify why you would choose them over Nittos?

No new camber arms or anything. Everything is stock other than the power adder and urethane rear dif bushings.

Nitto's High Quality tire also; both will wear out the inner part of tire faster-unless camber is brought to "0" or ver close to it.
These cars negative camber when you launch-which may lead to a slight + initial camber setting,to get maximum rubber surface touching.
NT05R 305/35 should fit as well. 27.44" tall
