You should be good there would be no rubbing with the 305.
What you need to look at is the camber of your rear tires.
I had mine with swift springs before I changed to coils still no rubbing I just have my rear camber to -2.

Do you think you won't rub if you get some camber bolts and be at a -1 maybe? Thanks for the info!

I know someone over here with a zero camber ( which I dont advise) still no rubbing. Try somewhere around -1.5 to -1.8 to maximize the performance of your car at cornering.
Actually this is about original specs for the rear.
Yes I do recommend getting camber arms.

Yeah I'm fine with -1.5 . Just wanted to make sure there won't be any rubbing. Sounds like I'm safe..now think I should run 275 in the front lol

This seems to be a good deal.

Brand new spl camber and toe arms

[MarksZ34]

Rear = 325/30 R19 Cooper Zeon RS3-S
Front = 285/35 R19 Bridgestone Potenza S04

Dropped on Swift springs
15mm H&R spacers on front

Thx to VinceThe1 for inspiration after he used the same combo on a Nismo!

Had 20mm spacers with the 285s out back with the 15mm spacers and 245s up front. Reused my almost new 285s up front and had to remove the 20mm spacers out back. The Coopers are slightly narrower than most other 325s.

The link below is your friend to figure out the fit of tires/spacers etc. before and after to prevent you from making a costly mistake. Offsets on the sport wheels are +47 front and +30 rear. Adding spacers subtracts from these numbers (ie 15mm spacers reduced my front offset to +32):

Here are the pics:

Right front looking down:



Because I'm lowered, I have a very slight rub on the front inner fenders when going over deep dips in the road at speed. Next I'll add rear camber rods and front camber arms and get a new alignment to finish tweaking.

Nothing too crazy but I'm running 305/30/20 on the rear with a 12" wide wheel. I wanted to go wider but my Nismo fender flares would pose a problem.

[Xplicit97]

I'm running a 20X10 +25 and a 20X12 +0 on bags with 50mm wide body front and rear thinking about a 305/30/20 and either a 325/30/20 or 345/30/20.. basically I want to go as big and meaty as I can. Partially why I went widebody, and didn't go more aggressive. Any suggestions/ input is appreciated.

That doesn't make any sense. You want widebody but not aggressive?

and a 345/30/20 is insane, comes out to 28.1 inches

OEM nismo rear is a 285/35/19, comes out to 26.9

why would you want to add a full inch of overall diameter?

Also i'm pretty sure you have a typo on your front wheel size, 20x15 +25 ?! You must mean 20x10 +25. Thats like sorta flush fronts.

You're on bags but you want "meaty tires"

i don't get what you want to do

i suggest digging through some of the wheel fitment threads as well as others build threads and finding something you like and copying them as close as possible

[MarksZ34]

With 20" rims you need a 345/25 R20 in the rear that at ~26.8" diameter is closer to stock and your 305/30 R20 in front is okay at 27.2"

This is assuming you typoed and your rims are 20x12 out back and 20x10 in front as in your signature.

If you really meant 15" wide rims on back and 12" up front, IMO the 345 tire would look stretched on the 15" rear rim since the tire is only 13.6" section width.

I use this link to see what they would look like but the rim size only goes up to 13" wide:

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

The optimal with the 15" rear rims would be a 365/25 which is 14.4" section width and matches your front diameter at 27.2". When I looked a while back 345/25 are the widest 20" low profile tires I could find; not sure if that has changed???

The GTR guys were talking about that company.

Their website won't list the available offsets for each size. Thats immediately a deal breaker.

Im new to wheel stuff. Can you explain to me why that not listing the available offsets make it a deal breaker?
