19" Tire sizes, front and rear

Kandy OrangeZ · 03-27-2011, 05:54 PM

Ive got a set of 19" Falken wheels from my Z32 that I just recently put on my Z34. On a Z32 a 19" wheel is pretty big, so the tires that were on there were low profile(235/35 in front). Thats gotta change!
So im playing with tire sizes. Ive got a brand new pair of hankook 285/35's that I put on the rear, but im now thinking I should put those up front. Will they rub?
And then for the rear id like to go with a 305/30 if possible. My front wheel is 8.5" and my rear is 10.5".
Suggestions?
Thanks

Stock ride height? Anyhow, the most I would put on the front is 275/35 and 305/30 rear. I would put those on my H&R spring drop, and will be on Tein coils soon. I'm running on Nismo wheels with Bridgeston RE50A with a spacers 15mm F and 20mm R and I'm rubbing during corners. I think negative camber should resolve the issue.

Stock ride height, and ive got 15mm spacers coming in for the rear. Id like to lower it with eibachs spring kit, but for now stock height.

With stock height, you will not rub until you slap those springs on it. And by rub, it wont be constant rub, only during drastic road heigh change (like hitting a low dip or pot hole) and during 65 - 80 mph or more cornering will it rub extensively.

So are you saying with the 285/35 or 305/30 that it will rub once lowered and spaced?
And any reasoning for not going with the 285/35 in the front?
