Thanks for your answer. The Nismo part confuses me. Is it really in the B class?

Yes. The ability to run huge tires on stock rims helps a bunch. I see guys running 305s up front on their nismos, competing with s2ks running 6.5" fronts....


Of course, autox isn't everything, and any z will eat an s on a road course....

Thanks again. Sorry to sound so ignorant but why can the nismo run fatter tires than the rest of us?

I saw a fellow selling a set of sport wheels. I assume I would want his rears on the front of mine to run a square set up or would I want the fronts on rear or something else all together?

Stock class lets you run whatever you can fit on stock size rims...nismo has an extra half inch of rim to work with over the base z (and as much as 3" over other contenders). Tires are absolutely huge in determining how fast you can go.


If it was me, I'd be running rears all around. They're very aggressive up front, but a 10" front rim makes the car absolutely nasty. With good tires, the grip limits are unbelievably high--will probably leave your balls as the limit, rather than grip
