370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

chknhawk · 01-15-2014, 07:13 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.

285/35/19 fits fine on the front nismo 9.5" as long as your not lower than swifts or have spacers. Hankook v12s run a little thinner than others so that helps too. With spacers u might need to roll a bit if youre lowered.

Good to know. No spacers and coils so I can adjust if needed.

Suggestions for a 20x11 wheel? I'm having a hell of a time deciding. I put 275/30 on them last fall before storing it and that was a horrible choice. 305/25 is too short (not enough sidewall) and smaller diameter than stock... 285/30 doesnt seem like much improvement over the current 275 which is too stretched.

I have 305/30/19 and for the front its 265/35/19 Perfect amount of tire and same height with the 305 at 26.3.

That is a good set up. When I have to replace my tires I would probably go with the same set up (265/35 front & 305/30 rear), but I'm thinking maybe a bit wider in the rear like 315/30.

johncy2000 · 01-29-2014, 11:28 AM

Just gotta make sure they are just about the same height. 15mm spacers and Swift springs are on the way!

It doesnt really matter but 20x11 +5.

MacLean · 02-02-2014, 01:08 AM

I wouldn't go 305/25. I would suggest 305/30, 315/30, or even 325/30 since you have 20x11. In the sizes that I just mentioned, not every tire will look the same. I would go with the PSS.

DanohKeo · 02-05-2014, 03:57 PM

HELP (Please?) 8]

New wheels coming in at,

20 x 9.5 +16mm
20 x 11.0 +13mm

What is the ideal set up for function and avoiding the use of spacers?

the factory advans that come with the nismo are 245/40/19. no wonder you hate them. they are too thin at 30...

Rusty · 02-05-2014, 05:22 PM

I thought this is the "Meaty Tire Thread"? Like 275 and bigger in the front and 305 and bigger in the rear.
