Question on Nismo rims and tires.

HATED1 · 10-22-2010, 05:30 PM

Hello all, after months of searching i have found some Nismo rims from wishihadnav. I have a couple questions though, currently i will be swapping over the front tires, tpms, and rear tpms from my sport package rims to the Nismo rims. Mileage on the tires is at 1500 miles. I am looking to get the stock Nismo size tires on the rear which are 285/35/19. My car will be lowered on BC coils with about a 3/4 inch spacing wheel gap all around. Also i have 15mm spacers in front and 2o mm spacers in the rear which i plan on keeping on and slightly cambering the rear in. My questions are:

1. What tire size other than the stock sizing on the REAR would you reccommend to give it a little more of an aggressive meaty look? Keep in mind that this is just a DD with occasional spirited driving.

2. What other decently priced rear tires would compliment the front stock tires as far as compounds/matching are concerned?

if you have pics that would help, thank you for any useful information you guys can provide.

Congrats man!

I would not use the 20mm on the rears. They will be seriously pushed out. 15mm would be the max and that is pushing it. See Minicobra1's gallery, he has 15mm on his Nismos. Personally I would go 10mm front and rear IF you really want, but IMHO spacers are not needed with these wheels.

I would get 305-30's for the rear for sure! Hankook V12's are popular...

Bridgestone RE-11's

265/35/19 - Front
305/30/19 - Rear

This would be a very nice setup

would running 305/30/19 on the rear cause any potential problems? as far as driving or odometer readings, keeping in mind that i want to run the front stock set-up.
