370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

BC Coilovers, Nismo rims, 275/305 Swagger!

Z_bro · 07-04-2013, 07:13 AM

ok I just bought 20x9.5 +25 front 20x10.5 +22
on my stock sport rays I went flush with a 30mm spacer up front and a 38 rear.

I want to know how meaty can I go and still be flush with these offsets? I am thinking 265/35 and 305/30? or larger? Please let me know the best tire height as well I don't like the taller 4x4 look!

Will the new width cancel me needing the spacers ( not the ones from my sport I'm thinking a 5mm front and a 10mm rear)? Also I am dropped on Eibachs...The pic is to give an idea how low I am... I really want the rear to have a stretched look..

Also I don't want to have to roll fenders or anything...

Xplicit97-Car looks great! How are the Ark GT Springs? Any issues w/rubbing or going over bumps?

Raf370z · 07-09-2013, 11:21 AM

F 245/40/19, r 305/30/19 on Nismo wheels

Xplicit97 · 07-09-2013, 11:33 AM

I love them, no rubbing, minor scraping of my lip on my street because its uneven. I plan on getting 15mm spacers all around.

255/40/18 +25
285/35/18 +15

Still trying to figure out a track setup and tire. Maybe square if 285 can fit in the front but not sure until I lower and get the negative camber setup.

emillion45 · 11-12-2013, 01:07 PM

Has anyone attempted a 285/35/20 on the front with a 10.5 wheel? Looking for a square setup that has some protection (run-flat tires)

KaienZ34 · 11-12-2013, 01:19 PM

Check out WoW's profile, he's running 285/30/20 and 345/25/20.

Anyone know which 305 is the widest - Pilot Super Sport, RE-11, Advan?

m4a1mustang · 12-02-2013, 09:25 AM

Maybe the PSS since it has the square sidewall.

Speaking of PSS, has anyone fit them on the stock Rays yet in 305/30/19? I know the 305s work out fine for the RE11, but I think the PSS is a bit wider (tread width, anyways) with the square shoulder. I've seen it on Mustang/BMW but have yet to see it on a Z.

It's a huge pic so I didn't embed.

Edit: Scratch that. 305 PSS is definitely going to be too wide. 295 max with that tire on the 19x10. You can get away with a 305 on the RE11 but the PSS is just too wide.

Yup I believe PSS run widest, followed by neova, then re11.

305/30 treadwidth is about

neova ~11.7"
pss ~ 12.1"
re11 ~ 11.1"

I just ordered a 19x10.5" +30 square setup lowered of swifts. Looking to TRY and run 295/30/19 in PSS's. I "feel" like the 285/35/19 PSS will be more likely to rub because it'll be a taller/less square fitting tire on a 10.5". I know a few guys run 18x10.5"+30 square with 285/35/18 tires without much issues at all. Does any have any advice/feedback for this?

305/30/19 These bitches are PHAT

*Don't know why it shows up sideways. Sorry

chknhawk · 01-15-2014, 06:13 PM

I have nismo rims with 305.30.19 on the back. Still undecided in the front. I have 245.30.19 up front and I dont like them at all.. thinking 285.35/40.19 to match the height of the rears. Hankook v12s. I love the rear fitamemt @ 305. Perfect tire.
