Pics of Rays sport wheels with larger tires??
 
Anyone have any pics of their Rays sport wheels with larger tires on them? I want to go with a wider tire (305 on the rear) but I want to see what it looks like first.

Check out Stormcrow's white nismo. I believe he is running 305's on the rear.

I ordered a set of Hankook V12 in 275/35/19 and 305/30/19. I plan on getting these installed on my Z's stock sport rays by this weekend. I will post some pics when I get them on. I am coming from NT05 (Stock Sizes) so I am interest to see how these tires stack up to the NT05. I only got 11k out of the nitto's but I knew they would not last that long the price you pay for sticky soft tires.

I just got the Hankook V12's installed this morning in the 275/35/19 and 305/30/19 sizes. They look awesome I wasn't sure about the wider tire I thought it might be too wide for the stock sport rays. I was wrong there is a small bulge but its not bad at all. The tires grip very well (straights and corners) and I am coming from the NT05 so that’s saying a lot. But I do feel my Z over steers a bit more but its not that bad. I don’t think it’s the tires lack of grib but the back tire is slightly shorter then the front 26.3 R 26.6 F. It would make since because the Nismo Z owners say they have a bit more under steer from the larger diameter rear tire (26.9) to front tire (26.7). Over all I am very pleased with this tire setup, enjoy the pics! :tup:

Here is Minicobra's pics of the stock sport wheels and 305's with spacers...Nissan 370Z Forum - Minicobra1's Album: 305's on stock 19" Sport Wheels

all things being equal, wouldn't a wider tire in the back reduce oversteer, thus increase understeer.

If both front and rear tires are equal in height the wider tire should reduce oversteer.

to much on front IMO

Hey tbss2008, I wanna check out the New tires to see how they fit. I want to see how much clearance there is for spacers.

Looks like someone got a body kit! Just let me know when you would like to check them out.

These look great! Mine is black too so I know mine will look good too.

One favor please.... Take a pic of the rear of the car straight on at a low height so we can see how wide the tires are.

The only thing I'll add is a 20mm spacer I think.

Just got the rear valances actually, but I'm glad you noticed :tup:

I'll keep you updated, maybe we can get another meet up going again.

I will post a pic tonight from the rear of the car to get a view of the wider rear tires.
