wider tire side profile shots
 
rears tires are about gone at 15,000 miles.
i'm not sure if im just gonna stick with stock sizes or go next size wider. I've read so much info on how if I went with 255/35 up front, it might look jacked.

I'm lowered on H&R springs, and love my fender gap front and rear with the stock sizes.

I would hate it if I went wider, and for some reason, the gap changed.

What do you guys think? 265/35/19 & 295/30/19? How would that look/feel?

I plan on going with Michelin PSS.

I got toyo r888's 295/30/19 in the rear. It leaves a little more of a gap than the 285/35/19's I'm looking into some 295/35's to fill in the gap a little.

I had a similar question about 3 months ago, i was wondering whats the widest and lowest profile one can go on the OEM nismo wheels. The tech at tirerack suggested I stick to the OEM size that it came with (245/40/19 and 285/35/19)

Dang your riding H&R with a Nismo bumper/lip. Brave Man!

mwhit02 07-22-2013 03:24 PM

It's doable.....barely. I've made a couple gashes in the plastic engine cover on The very bottom of the motor

I've got Tein S springs and Bridgestone S-04s, 265 front and 305 rear. I don't have any noticeable issues. It actual seem to sits and rides better than the standard setup. With the 265 up front I don't get nearly as much travel in ruts, if you know what I mean!

What are your profiles? Are you running 265/35 and 305/30?

I have that exact setup and brand. Lowered on KWv3's. Love it.

Need to have the coils adjusted/leveled and corner balanced, but other then that they look great and have no complaints. Also the grip is :yum:

Yup! That is the setup. I had SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts installed as well. The alignment is within factor specs. If it doesn't rain today or tomorrow I'll post a pic or two.

mwhit02 07-23-2013 10:13 AM

I really really want to go with this setup, but I just don't want my fender gap to INCREASE. It's perfect where it's at now :-(

I'm honestly debating 265/40/19 & 295/35/19

Hotrodz 07-23-2013 02:43 PM

I don't really mind the gap, it doesn't look to bad since I have spacers and tires are pretty flush with the finders. That said, the setup you posted should work fine. Heck, I have seen some posts were guys are running 275 up front!

mwhit02 07-23-2013 06:41 PM

Can u post some side shots of your ride? I searched your name but couldn't find a side shot with your new tires

pokeyl 07-23-2013 06:59 PM

An old shot but 265/35 front, 305/30 rear.

:tup: same advice i received when looking into going wider.

Went to Michelin PSS too. Imho they are way better than the Potenzas especially in the rain. Huge dif in autoX too:tup:

Hotrodz 07-23-2013 08:17 PM

You are probably right about them handling better, I don't know since I haven't driven in any real rainy weather. I live AZ! LOL! I don't track and if I did I would buy something other than PSS. So until I get my twin turbo installed these are pretty good for daily drivers.

Hey Pokeyl, are you lower on coil overs? Looks damn good!
