370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

They're for AutoX so it's function over form. Also probably going with shorter tires after I burn through these.

Got my Works/Avant gard wheels this week and ordered RE11s 265s and 305s. I realize from you folks there may be a bit more plowing due to the stagger but when I finally get to Road Atlanta I don't intend to push the limits. Will post pics when mounted. and yea, I know....LOOOOWER but I'll live with the tire/fender gap. lol

But, personally, i prefer the non lowered look.

So 275/35/19 will not rub in the front with a 9.5 inch wide wheel?

Thank you Rusty for your help. Your Nismo is one of the Z I look up to! 19x12 in the back

WOW Props man!

Just got notified that my Work Gnosis GS2 wheels have arrived in the US. I have a 2012 Nismo and here are the wheel offsets that I ordered:

19X9.5 +20 Front (R disk)
19X11 +14 Rear (O disk)

I am debating on whether to go with 305 in the rear or 325 as well as 265 or 275 in the front. Targeting Pilot Super Sports 35 front, 30 rear. This setup will be mostly for show, and this is not a daily driver. And I am lowered with Eibach pro springs, but will be installing true coilovers real soon. Like next month. So - in the end I don't want to have to do any crazy stuff with camber for the show wheels that will effect me negatively when I take the car to the track and change the wheels.

Next:
I want to take my stock Nismo wheels and put some good track tires on (possibly RE11's) and I am pretty sure I will be going with 265/35 front and 305/30 in the rear.

Any experienced advice on the top would be appreciated.

do you have adjustable camber arms?

cus without a 325 in the rear and a 275 up front wont fit.
