Fattest Tires: Sport Wheels, Lowered Swifts, Stock Camber, 20/25mm Spacers

Jayhovah · 12-24-2015, 10:55 AM

Like the title says - What are the fattest tires I can go with?

Configuration:
Swift springs
Stock Camber (front rear SPC arms)
20/25mm spacers.

Without seeing alignment specs and seeing you dont have a rear camber kit you could fit like 335s in the back for whatever ungodly reason

335 on the sport wheel would be a lot of pinch on the tire. I'd say 305 to be safe

I have camber arms, front and rear.

first question to answer is how much tire you can stuff on a 10 in wheel and be within tolerance. Cjwsrt6 answered that. TireRack site also gives that info on any given tire.

Next, what kind of camber spec are running? Having aftermarket camber arms don't imply you are on stock specs. Someone with a negative 4 degree camber can run wider tires than a stock camber spec 370z.

fat tires on narrow wheels makes car feel squishy. get the right size.

I ran 265/35 - 305/30 on OEM Rays and they were a hint squishy, but it works without any other issues. These sizes feel a lot better on 9.5" F & 11" R wheels that I have now. I wouldn't go any wider on the stock Rays...

It was moot anyway, the only tires I could get in time were 285. Next time I'll order on tire rack

Been answered a million times before but you should not go over 20% wheel width. 275/305.
