I parked my Lexus...unlocked the Z, then locked it

Hopefully it doesn't turn into a maxima

dbayd the NISMO has 245/40YR19 (front) and 285/35YR19 (rear). Going up to 20's you would decrease 5 in the aspect ratio i.e. 285/30/20 That would assume no drop. I can tell you that my vert is dropped with eibach springs and I have no hitting with 20mm spacers front and rear and stock 245/40WR19 (front) 275/35WR19 (rear) Bridgestone® Potenza. I don't think you will have a problem with them assuming the back spacing is correct. Hope that help a little bit. Look is tires/wheels section you should find exactly what you are looking for.

Question Help-tire/wheels

Hello Everyone,
I know i may not be in the right section but i need help right away.
I plan on doing theses purchases today.. Thank you
xxxx
I just purchased 20 inch wheels.
20x8.5 with 40 offset and 20x10 with a 35 offset. HELO 834's
the dealer tells me the largest tires are 245/35 frt and 275/30 rear.

I want to know if i can put 255/35 frt and 285/30 rear or 275/35 rear??
any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running completly stock and
dont plan on doing any other changes right now. If anyone is running these larger sizes have you had any rubbing issues??

Also I need to know if any one has had any good or bad experence with
Hankook V12 or V4 // Toyo S.drive // or Falken 452 tires??

Wrong section.

Spend some time in the wheel and tire section to research proper wheel brands, wheel widths, and offset.

meh, nothing you'll notice. I don't think you can really feel a difference with the gen3's either though, to be fair.

They are maybe a touch louder, though it is hard to safe for sure.

My primary motivation for the swap was aesthetics, and they did help on that front. If I pick up a few horses as well, it will be a bonus.

If the 6whp figure is accurate, that is like a 2% gain-- nothing you will be able to detect with the butt dyno.

I put away all the new fasteners I bought yesterday and locked down the craftsquare mirrors now that I found a good position for them.

And set tire psi.
