Here you go. This is right after swift spring installation. I also run 15 mm spacers fore and aft.

Just experimented with bigger sizes on stock sport wheels and it was a bloody fortune. Stock sizes it will be when I am ready to order tires.

I kept the stock sizes. I kind of figure Nissan engineers might know more than I do about optimal tire sizes..

True enough. No point having too much tire for the streets anyways.

What??? That's like having too large a spoiler on a Civic! Can't be too large!!

Still: I like the 'look' of the 305's even if there is no performance advantage. As long as there is no major drawbacks to performance with these size tires, I will go with them!

i run stock tire size too.

Stock sizes are good. Bigger is not necessary, only for that one guy posting that he wants to put Rear size stock Rays rims on the front and the back rims running 275 in the front and 305 in the rears.

Naw man never! Post pics when ya do I'm curious how it will look.

305 is nearly an inch wider than 285, definitely worth it. Problem is that the stock 10" is kind of narrow for it, the fronts are an issue too as they are 9". I would love 305 35 19 F & R if I have the rims, 4 stock Nismo rear rims maybe?
