I have 285/35/19x10 in the front lowered.. Its a bit too close for my liking to be honest. I'll be most likely switching to 275/35/19

For 9.5" wheel, I'd go with FPenvy with 265/35/19. That will be a nice fit on a lowered Z

also in these sizes 265/305 they have worn much better than 245/275 PSS which the inside 3" disintegrated on me at 12k miles.



I had about 14k on my re-11's I just took off and the rears were still above the wear bar a bit and the fronts were still at 7.5/32nds and they come new at 9/32.



ocd though and I changed all 4 for the dragon lol

ok so I've decided since I'm curious and the math seems right I'm going to try the 295/35/19.
I know there's no test I can to to confirm except my own perception an math but what the heck why not..rear tires only last a year to me anyway so I'm gonna give them a try.

exactly my thinking as well.

I drive march/april-oct weather permitting and I rip through rears so testing things out don't bother me much.

im ean on a whim with a little asking around I jumped to 265/305 on sport wheels lol

Can any one tell me what offset is needed to fit 345/30/19 nicely??? Input in this area would be greatly appreciated by me :tup:

jchammond 05-23-2015 06:56 PM
pending on your rear camber setting & ride height,,,,i've heard from +28 up to +38 on a 12" wheel....A few people are running these on rear & that's what i want with nothing sticking out past fender(flush)

Ok, so original Nismo rear wheel offset is 23mm. With 325s, my tires are flush with the fender (no spacers). A 345 is 20mm wider than a 325, so that means it would stick out an extra 10mm on each side.

Taking all that into equation, the ideal offset sould be between 30-35mm.

So, a 19x12 +30 with a 345 would be a pretty flush fitment.

I would suggest going with 20s however. A 345/25R20 is within 0.2% overall diameter of the original 285/35R19s. The 345/30R19 is 1.1% larger which is no big deal, but with these sizes, my opinion is that 20s would look better.

Yes, exactly. Depends on ride height and alignment. My previous post was for stock ride height and alignment.

Thanks brother!! That helps a lot really appreciate it.. I also need to take into consideration my rear alignment specs they are as follows -2.14 camber .10 toe
With that in mind would 19 12 +35 be the right fitment?
