305/30/19 Tires on 370 Nismo Wheels
 
Is there enough clearance on a 2013 370Z to use 305/30/19 tires with 2013 OEM Nismo wheels?

TerribleONE 01-19-2015 12:59 PM

Yes

yes. they even work perfectly fine with the OEM sport wheels as well.

that's the setup i'm currently running.

305 on Nismo with 15 mm spacers here too.

I've been thinking of 315 with my next set. Anyone running 315???

you should be able to fit 315s on the nismo wheels. I know 305 is the limit for the sport rays.

Agreed 305 is pretty damn wide on 10.5 already. I'm just thinking traction. I needs wiiiider wheels lol what size rear are you running?

305 on a 10.5" wheel as well. Tires are a small piece of the puzzle with our cars, the way our rear end is setup is absolutely horrible for putting power to the ground.

Yep, Mickey has a new tire coming out in Apr. May with a street legal tread and a R2 compound, Sport Comp SS I think was the tire, can't remember the side wall, but most likely will be a 305/35/19.

I already know brother. I've been thinking of having a way to add and remove weights over the axle also. Would prob help a bit

LOL, well the ET Street II's are already a R2 compound, but not great if it rains. they showed us the new tires at SEMA back in Nov. their sending me a set of 20" for my truck to try when they're out.

I would flatten the tire (camber wise) first, then add weight if you need, but getting that tire flat would make a world of difference at the strip.

ahhh gotcha. I was just about to say I thought that the current ETS II's are R2 compound.

honestly rain use isn't even a concern for me since I would only run them when I went to the strip.

original plan was running 18x12" wheels but nothing I found really clears the sport brakes well. would help add some thicker meat out back.

Yeah, you might have to get a set of 350Z track 18's and have them widened...or run a ETS II with no camber also, and play with air pressure...

yea I've looked at a few options and no decision yet.

not sure If I want to sink the money in a whole wheel/tire set-up, rear camber arms, etc... just to shave off a few tenths.

but it's winter so I have time.

What tires are you using at the strip now?

just summer tires. 2013 was oem size 245/275 PSS's

2014 I ran 265/305 RE-11s

plan on sticking with RE-11s for regular driving since I DD my car march-oct/nov.

90 ST 01-19-2015 02:34 PM

If you can i'd get a set of ETS II on another set of wheels for the strip then and go from there. to be honest i'd run the ETS II as my daily lol or look into the new SS tires coming out. it'll be a better DD tire, but a very soft one.

just would be a waste for the amount of miles I put on mine to DD those.

the separate wheel and tire setup is the ideal solution.

295 and 265 are actually a perfect fit on nismo rims. R888 on mine and they are sex.
