Need Help With my Next Tire Setup..

Endgame

O.K. I stepped away and thought about all this and see what you all are saying. This is what happens when you have no idea about something, try to understand it, and am sick on meds! I am thinking I will go with a close to Nismo setup with the 245/40 fronts and 285/35 rears.

I still ask this question, and maybe it should be under the suspension section:

Will a 245 F / 285 R with a sway bar kit adversly affect turn in/understeer, or cause the rear end to break loose easily?

I ask this as the Nismo Z upgraded sways increase the front by only 15% while the rear is increased 50%. As I understand, I can set the Stillen sways on the softest setting which would mean a 30% increase in stiffness in front, and about 37% towards the rear. What should I expect?

The stock diameter's are 26.9" and 26.5", the goal is to try and stay close to these values.

The RE-11 255/35 is too short at 26.0", the 265/35 is a bit closer at 26.3".

I don't have specs on the 285/35 but I'm estimating it to be roughly 26.7". The size differential would be roughly the same as stock in this case.

That was my point with going with the 255/40s since that gives you just a bit over 27" diameter. I am considering hankook v12's which you can get in this since. Not sure about the RE11's. The 255/35s are too small and I though that may affect the performance, since the front wheels will essentially spin more than the rears. Anyways, that was my question... and two cents.
