How much longer will they be around is the question? They are supposedly phasing them out...?

Same here, I sure hope they don't phase out anytime soon.

So Im running RE11 265/285, I did my reserach on the "spacers 101" thread but I'm still not sure. What would best spacer for that flush look 20/25 or 20/20?? THanks

kenchan · 07-22-2015, 04:12 PM

lowered? or raised? or stock?

sport 19's or nismo 19's?

40th_z · 07-22-2015, 04:18 PM

I'm on stock suspension with sport 19s. dont really plan on lowering since its DD

LinPark · 07-24-2015, 09:51 PM

Anyone know where I might be able to get a set of these installed somewhere near Columbus, OH?

stoweboarder · 08-12-2015, 06:05 PM

Any advice on putting them on? We struggled with the rears any advice or tips would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

305 rears on sport size wheels 19x9.5

I am having RE11 285/35/19 front and 325/30/19 rears installed tomorrow on my Nismo. Can't wait to see what it looks like in person. Car is filthy, no pictures until it gets a good cleaning this weekend.

Yes I can't wait for the pics. I need tires on my Nismo and I can't decide between 265/305 set and 285/325 set! Since Nismo wheels are half inch wider than sports wheels fit 275/305 sets.

I'm looking for the most accurate handling for track and daily with re-11.
If 285/325s give more of a floaty feeling at the steering wheel I'll get 265/305 or maybe 285/305 set?

Spooler · 08-20-2015, 11:41 AM

No floaty feel at all. Just grip for days. I did take some pics and put it in the other thread. The car shot was out of focus, go figure, so I didn't load it.

Why you should use these tires with NISMO Wheels: 285/35R19 (F), 325/30R19 (R)

Going to pick up my coilovers this weekend if all goes well.

Hey everyone, what are the correct sizes for the sport package wheels? thank you!

NORAIN · 09-06-2015, 06:02 AM

RE-11

Had mine on the track for the first time Friday. F'n amazing grip! I had S-04's before and tracked them a few times. They weren't too bad until I started getting a little faster and upgraded my brakes to Carbotech. I hope we can continue getting them for awhile.

stock is 245/40/19 & 275/35/19 Bridgestone RE050A

Kamillio · 10-02-2015, 10:36 PM

I went with 265/305 combo. Look good

RBfastback · 10-19-2015, 02:38 PM

may be a stupid question but dose any notice or care about when going from a PSS to the RE-11 in the oem nismo size for example the weight difference?
I ONLY DD my Z.
with size 245/40/19 is a 4 pound per tire increase from the pss's
but only a 1 pound increase in the rear with the 285/35/19.
got weight's off tire rack.
do the traction benefits of the re11 outweigh there weight drawbacks?
