Just don't know what I want to do yet for suspension, but I need tires now.
Thanks why I thought I would ask here.

Thanks! Already looking at SPL when I finally decide on suspension. Need to recover a bit from the TT install and wanted to get a set of tires to tide me over until I do it all.
Still wondering about my original questions though with my stock rims.
1) What is the widest tire that I can install on the front and rear without rubbing and ballooning?
2) I thought that I read that there is a rule of thumb on width differential from front to rear. What are the pros/cons for not following this rule of thumb?
3) Looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sports at the moment from reviews and a little bit on the tread life. Are there better options of tires that last roughly 15K miles (for spirited driving, not tracking the car)?
Thanks again!

265/305 will fit on sport rims...you will need spacers, rear camber arms, toe bolts and front A arms.

Stock ride height currently but would like to install Swift springs (at some point). And I currently have no spacers.
I do have the FI TT kit on the car and was hoping to go wider in the back for more contact area.
Couple questions.
1) What is the widest tire that I can install on the front and rear without rubbing and ballooning?
2) I thought that I read that there is a rule of thumb on width differential from front to rear. What are the pros/cons for not following this rule of thumb?
3) Looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sports at the moment from reviews and a little bit on the tread life. Are there better options of tires that last roughly 15K miles (for spirited driving, not tracking the car)?
I'm currently thinking these in the PSS. Front 255/40R19 Rear 295/35R19.?

Thanks for any assistance!
We've done many Z fitments! I'll send you over a PM!

Hey guys. Would 10mm extended studs from Z1 fit OEM 18 wheels with OEM nuts? I have some TE37SL with Formula nuts coming next month, so would be using these studs with those wheels, but in the meanwhile I am wondering if it would be safe to install 10mm extended studs right away without spacers. Thanks

as long as it doesn't bottom out in head of nut...remove one & test fit.

I am looking for a nice rim in 19x10 for the front and 19x12 for the rear. What offsets do I need. Tires will be RE11 285/35/19 for the front and 325/30/19 for the rear. I have been looking for data on this site for a while. There is just so much, it's crazy.

19x10.0 +22 ~ +30ish
19x12.0 +20 ~ +30ish

Depending on the type of fitment you are going it will depend. But those should be a pretty good start. What kind of wheel were you looking at getting?

Just picked up a set of Works 19x10 +10 and 19x11 +10 for my 16 Nismo. Thinking about running the stock size Nismo tires 245/40/19 285/35/19 or should I move up to a 255 in the front. I'm looking for a low but functional look...

What do you call functional? I would go nothing less than 265 f and 305 rear. With the setup you got you can run as wide as spooler is doing above...it's functional and looks bad a$$! No reason not to go with a wide tire given the size of your wheels unless you like that stretched look!
