Tire Options 19's

Zigen5 · 04-25-2010, 10:13 AM

Could someone tell me my tire options that will fit these rims? I don't plan on lowering it or adding spacers anytime soon.

Front: 19x9.5 +25
Rear: 19x10.5 +22

Would this size do?
Front: 245/40/19
Rear: 275/35/19

Thanks...

I had 265/35 front 285/35 rear, some will say it is not enough on the rear which I could have gone bigger.

Gotta go bigger, grip=speed

There was actually a recent article in either Road and Track or Car and Driver where they tested bigger wheels (I'm assuming the results would be similar for tires) and found that the bigger the wheels, the slower the acceleration due to the extra weight.

That is true for straight line acceleration, which is why drag cars put tiny wheels on the front. However for cornering wider is better (but not bigger diameter), assuming you don't exceed the tire size recommended for the rim.

Alright, I just ordered my tires... I've been doing research and I went with Nitto's Invo's 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19. I saw the 305 and was blown away how aggressive it was. I realize my 370z deserves the best, but damn... That was a little too extreme!

Thanks for all the great info guys... I will post pics this Friday when I get them installed...

So what's a good size with more grip?

Whatever sizes you end up getting, check out the Vredestein Sessantas. F T W !

For the front, which would be a better ride for a daily driver? Now going from 18's to 19's will the speedo be affect alot like 1 mph off?

when you do lower and space... your car is going to look so damn sick!

kevin.z · 04-25-2010, 07:46 PM

I think stock is already low enough, everyone says that and i am scraping everywhere. However, it is weird how stock wheels have so much fender gap. U need to drop the car to take out those ridiculous fender gaps!

Zigen5 · 04-25-2010, 08:06 PM

I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have the body kit.. But I know for sure I would be scraping the kit if it was lowered more.. My kit lower the front at least half an inch. I gotta watch the parking curbs now...

Go with some Yokohama S.Drives. They last long and are perfect for daily driving.

245/275 or 255/285
