widest tire?

Solus · 09-30-2010, 06:55 PM

Anyone running anything wider than 315's on their z?

Solus · 11-01-2010, 11:13 AM

Judging by the fact that noone responded I will take that as a no.

RCZ · 11-01-2010, 12:40 PM

I put a 325 on once and it fit fine. There are people running 315 on the stock rear wheels. I know someone who was running 345 in the rear, 305 front. So yes.

345s! Really? Was he mounted with really aggressive negative camber?

I had no idea that the stock rear wheels would fit 315s

Those would look really stretched and exceed the minumum recommended wheel width. 285 is the recommended limit for the Sport Rays rear wheels.

They wouldnt be stretched...they would bulge. And 285 is the maximum, not minimum. Someone needs to get some sleep haha

Buldge/stretch same thing. Just stretching in the other direction.

I was refering to the 305/315 series. 9.5" wheel isn't wide enough for that tire. For a 305 series, the wheel width range is 10"-12". Hence, 10" (minimum) exceeds 9.5". Thats why "285 is the recommended limit for the Sport Rays rear wheels"

wow a 345!?!

The rear sports are 10"...

I have 315's on 20x11+15. The guy who put them on basically said that's the most tire you're fitting back there without doing some work.

Solus · 11-04-2010, 05:44 AM

I ran 315's for a while but I wasn't sure if I could go any wider without having to tub it out some or roll fenders or w/e that is why I was asking.

ChrisSlicks · 11-04-2010, 09:31 AM

I have 315's on an 11" wheel and 305 on the stock 10" wheel, still plenty of room with my -2.0 camber setting and no noticeable bulging with the 305 either. I read that someone is running 12" wheels in back which can certainly work if the offset is chosen very carefully.

Would love to try some of the new 375/20/21 everyones putting on the GTR and Z06's... should fit Z34 very nicely.
