I have no idea on tires..... help

Nismo221 · 03-22-2011, 02:05 AM

Okay so I have 10k on my stock tires so I want to start looking at tire options. I still have my stock Nismo rims and I'm running 15mm front spacers and 20mm rear spacers, car is at stock ride height. So remember I'm tire stupid.... so how wide can I go with tires? Mainly I want more rubber on the rear tires. What make and style tire are more popular and why? The car is my daily driver. But I would like to track here and there, like at Z Nationals. Also the car may visit the drag stripe a few times.....
Please only helpful comments.

This calculator makes it easy. Some on here have gone 305's at the back.

The wheels size for the Nismo are 19" x 9.5" (front) and 19" x 10.5" (rear). Stock Nismo tires are 245/40YR19 (front) and 285/35YR19 (rear) Yokohama ADVAN Sport.
