Just for the heck of it, I went to Tirerack to look up the price of my tires in 325/30-19, and they say that the Continental ExtremeContact DW isn't available for my car.

Umm... I just purchased these exact tires from Tirerack a few months ago in the stock sizes. So why all of a sudden are they not available for my 370?

And now this tire only goes up to a 305/30-19, which is on closeout. They used to have a 325.

Possibly out of stock but for everyone do not ever put in your vehicle info. First time I went with bigger sizes it took 4 days and 10 phone calls to tell them to shut the fuk up and send my tires i know what I'm doing.

Followed by my bank thinking I was hacked because tire rack messed up the invoices somehow.

ChaseZ · 03-01-2017, 08:58 AM

They probably still have them, and yeah as noted above me don't enter vehicle info there or any other tire site I've noticed too. It limits the results to what they think fits your car. Just went through all that. Probably just don't have stock of it st the moment or something like that.

TR lists the ExtremeContact Sport (not sure difference between it and the DW) in 325/30-19
Tire Rack - Search Results for 325 30 19

Onlinetires.com - Lowest Tire Prices on the Web. Period! has the DW in stock

Hell even ordering my rims at +25 offset I got an email from them after the order was placed stating these are too aggressive for the car and won't fit lol

Oh yeah, I never enter my vehicle info. I just go select the sizes I want and order them.

what is the widest I can go on stock 19" Rays without being out side the fender wells? I am running Z1 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers?

Sorry - Update - Stock camber and ride height

OptionZero · 03-01-2017, 12:13 PM

Depends on camber and ride height.

Got the 345's on the ground

Suspension hadn't settle in the pic, plus is sitting with a hair positive camber right now. Not going to bother adjusting it until the Nismo arches get here.

You need a 6" lift with all that meat!

Not quite, but now that it's settled some I'm not sure I need to lower the 1/2" I'd more or less planned on. 1" gap is about what I was running last year on coilovers anyways, but as long as it doesn't take too much -camber I probably will anyways

ChaseZ · 03-13-2017, 11:57 PM

Put a few miles in the car today. Streets were wet and sloppy but I didn't care, it was good to get it out of the garage and stretch its legs a little. Love the meaty meats!

ZOperaMan · 03-18-2017, 06:35 PM

These are pretty meaty:

Nitto 555 G2
305/35-19 Rear, the 35's are taller than the usual 30's folks typically install
255/40-19 Front, same as Nismo

Mounted on Avant Garde M550 19x11 R, 19x9.5 F Dolphin Gray. I think the M550s are discontinued, so these are probably four of the last ones left.

Just a little bit of fender roll needed on the front and 1.8 degrees of camber on the rear. Other than that it worked great!

Want. Will these work on a none lowered, stock camber? PM me priceing info please. Blew a rear out yesterday and might as well get a new setup.
