Default Tyres for 19's

Hey guys,

First time post in such a long time.

I'm planning on ordering a set of wheels 19x9.5 +20 fronts and 19x11 +10 rears.

I've come down from 20x9.5 +22 and 20x11 +12 using 255/30R20 and 305/25R20. This is because of the state of Australia's roads and where I drive

I've done some searching and for the love of god can't find anything about giving the car a flush and aggressive appearance. I remember the tyre sizes for the stock 370z wheels but iirc, they weren't aggressive or didn't fill out the wheel well enough.

Could anyone recommend me tyre sizes for the above 19s. Also leaning towards Michelin Pilot Super Sports, but possibly looking at RE11s.

Regards,
Chris

If you are on springs than 255-35-19 for the fronts. If on coilovers you could run 265-35-19. For the rear I'd go with 295-30-19 or 305-30-19. Hope this helps.

Just went with 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 PSS and they are pretty flush.

^ just remember you will be throwing off your odo as your wheel diameter will be smaller.
