Not a chance, you will rub like hell. I have 255/35's on a 9.5 +18 and any bigger and Id rub. Im actually buying new wheels to be able to run a 275 or 285 up front and they will be a 10" +30

275/35/18 up front on Forgestars. Silky smooth at all highway and track speeds.

I did used to run Starquest wheels on my 240sx at the track and got some very bad vibration like you are talking about. I had the wheels balanced, and my suspicion kind of went to the spacers, but they weren't hubcentric.

275/35-19 PSS on 9.5x19 +25. Fits perfect.

what offsets are you running in the front ?

AutoX setup: 315/30-18 on 18x10 +30

fwiw Currently still at factory ride height as ASP builds are freaking expensive especially a good set of race shocks.

Look at that gap!!! Haha. Change tires and you have a rally car too.

wheee! · 07-23-2014, 06:10 PM

275's on the front and 305's on the rear, stock wheels. Drives 10x better than stock...

No issues, vibrations or otherwise

CC QUIK · 07-23-2014, 11:03 PM

275's up front and 295 in back on H&R springs. no issues. sport wheels

synolimit · 07-23-2014, 10:09 PM

It's already been said, its the wheel or tire if the balance is right. Although I will say some tires just suck. If you read some reviews on tire rack you'll see a few tires that are just insanely quite and smooth. The conti DW comes to mind. The oem tires I had sounded like a mud tire and didn't feel smooth. Although I never checked if the tires had been deflated from 60psi from Nissan.

carlitos_370z · 07-24-2014, 08:06 AM

i think the problem its my offset on the front

my wheels are 19x9.5+12 i want those 275/35 soo bad to track my car... but if they rub....
