The "Will it fit?" thread

[4r3s]

thank you for the feed back guys, I was fairly sure they would work just wanted some reassurance before dropping all that cash.

I dont know if this is possible but maybe some type of reference sheet would work better for this type of thread. you could list out all the wheel sizes + offsets that will work with the car and also add a field for each on wether a spacer would be needed and its size. might be too large of a undertaking though with all the different wheels out there and then you run into the issue of will a specific wheel clear the bigger brakes or not. Just an idea.

Ok here's one for you.

I have a 2009 NISMO with 10.5" rear rims. From what I've read here a 305-30-19 would be the largest tire for this wheel.

However a friend (self proclaimed expert) says "ah you can put a 325-30-19 on that wheel, I've seen it done all the time and those manufacturers min/max rim sizes are just guide lines."

Please help me with this guy. If it does fit which it doubt it's going to be totally unsafe or look like crap. I'm not sure I would even want to go with the 305, the 285 seems about right to me.

Thanks for any help.

Excellent idea! But I don't think it should be "instead of" or replace this thread. The stat sheet would be very helpful, but there will always be times when we want to ask each other questions, offer the benefit of our experience, etc.

BTW, I should point out to all concerned that I am no expert like Bullitt, RCZ and others. I just thought the thread would be a good idea. I am pleased to see such a healthy response already!
