The "Will it fit?" thread

[CedzZ34]

Hey everyone. I bumped an old thread below, but figured I'd try my luck here hoping to get a quicker response since I have to make a move today. My situation is below, somewhat edited from the other post...

************************************************** ***********
What's up team 370Z?

Here's my situation: I have a set of 19x11 +22 rims for the rear that my stock 275 tires won't fit. The rim is too wide.

Question #1: What size tires would you all recommend for me on the rear for this rim? I may want to lower in the future an inch or two, but won't mind staying stock height if I have to.

Edit: the center cap on the rim gets pushed out by the center nut, so I may have to run a small spacer as well if I can't figure something out otherwise.

Question #2: My current front tires fit well, but I don't want to throw away my current rear tires when they are replaced with question #1. Will the stock 275 tires fit on the front of the car? Wheel size is 19x9.5 +15.

I'd like to stay away from extreme camber and such if possible. Its my DD, so I don't want any rubbing. I'm assuming by Angelo's post above, I should be fine with 295's or 305's, but just wanted to be sure before I buy another pair of tires that I can't use.

My car has the sport brakes as well. Please let me know if you need more information to answer my questions.

Thanks in advance...

Bump. Anyone??? Seems like a simple question, but according to my research, my current tire should've fit too. If I step up to a 285, would 10mm be enough? If I go bigger to a 295 or 305, will I experience rubbing on the rear?

up to a 325/30/19 will fit the +22,11" rear wheels w/5.125" front spacing on the wheel....should be fine with stock camber (roughly -1.6*)
Your front's would accept those tires if the offset was a bit more positive;
your current wheel set-up has 4.64" of front spacing on the Front & 5.125" in rear (hub-face to outer lip of wheel)
camber for the front stock is (roughly-.8*)
rear of car is factory tuned with twice as much negative camber & twice as much positive toe.
look through all the threads & note the camber settings....when you drop your car; your negative camber will increase,,,some people's car's are staying within specs on front w/minimal drop-but use camber arms on rear to bring back to spec.
GO TO [Official]370z wheel fitment guide (pics/specs) only & look closely...some very well & not so well fitted wheels.

JcHammond: Thanks sofa king (<-read that out loud) much for slowing down to read my post and give a post that I can digest. Being an Engineer, I don't mind doing the research, but testing and second opinions are just as important from those with experience. You answered my questions for the present and future, front and back. I've got 4 different sets of tires in a shopping cart on 4 different websites and have been to several different tire stores trying to get help. I can now order my tires with confidence without the worry of throwing away my current tires. I'm going to go with the 305/30/19. It's what I wanted to begin with but just wasn't absolutely sure.
How in the hell do I give this guy some rep points?!?!?
