The "Will it fit?" thread

[OptionZero]

Don’t buy those, at least not as a set. Fronts are ok, rears way too conservative. Worse than stock nismo. Spacer isn’t solving that

They will look like **** and are too narrow for performance

Save your money. Don’t buy wheels because they’re cheap. Buy them because they fit

Hey all, I've been lurking in these Forums since I bought my Z trying to gain as much knowledge as I can.

I have a 2019 Nismo, for all intents & purposes it's all stock as still warranty left, haha.

It's time for new tires and I have narrowed it down to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S after talking to a couple friends and reading thru some other threads here.
While I'm getting new tires I thought I might do what I could to fill up some more space in the wheel wells. Ideally I'd like the rears to stick out from the fender ~5 MM and the fronts to be flush.

I've seen alot of talk about putting 285/35R19 (stock rear size) on the front and 305/35R19 in the back. Would this achieve my objective or would I need to use wheel spacers (not a big fan)?

Any guidance you fine forum members can impart would be appreciated.

Thanks!

305 is a little big for a 10.5" rim.

Thanks DaveZ, that was my concern, non stock size on a stock wheel.

Unfortunately wheels aren't in the budget right now since I'm still in the middle of a lift kit, new wheels & tires on my Wrangler.

If you put 285/35/19 on the front you need a 325/30/19 on the rear. They will bulge some. 265/35/19 front and 305/30/19 rear would be more in line.

Thanks for the reply Spooler, I don't have money in the budget for new wheels, only the tires right now (see above reply to DaveZ03) so only have my stock wheels.
I thought the 305 would be stretching to get on the stock wheel much less a 325.
Getting tires flush w/ the fender is what I'm looking to do on the fronts, but I'm not sure a 265 would accomplish that w/o a wheel spacer.

You cannot achieve flush fitment by changing tire sizes. Flush fitment is determined by wheel width, offset, and alignment. Since new wheels aren't currently in you budget, you'll have to use spacers (20-25mm). As mentioned above, 265/35/19 with 305/30/19 is a popular pairing. Read THIS THREAD if you want to become more familiar with wheel/tire sizing.

That was exactly what I was looking for!
