New 370Z wheel sizes and TCS & ABS

Zat_Zuma · 11-18-2008, 10:29 AM

Has anyone noticed that Nissan has changed up the front/rear tire circumference differences on the new 370Z? This may be important in relationship to TCS & ABS controls and tire size selection.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
F: P245/40R19 26.8" circumference
R P275/35R19 26.5" circumference
Diff: 0.3" front bias

Yokohama ADVAN Sport
F: P225/50R18 27.0" circumference
R: P245/45R18 26.7" circumference
Diff: 0.3" front bias

I wonder how this is going to affect all those enthusiasts that were planning to swap there rim/tire combinations from their 350z's. I know it may affect my plans to use the Volks and tires I have as ALL the 350Z's have a rear circumference differencial bias required for there ABS and TCS controls. Definitely have to carefully scrutinize the details of the TCS and ABS systems for the new 370Z.

To me, there's no problem for TCS & ABS..
Tire selection could be a problem, instead.

very good point. I think we have to wait and see if the rims are same lug specs as the 350Z. Hopefully we can find this info tomorrow.

Glad you noticed this as I've been saying this for ages but no one seems to get it...

My understanding is that the 370 running 19" has an approx sidewall profile equivalent to the 350 running 18" with respect to the factory aspect ratios, but the overall rolling diameter of the 350 is smaller.

245/35/19 on the 350 does not equal 245/40/19 on the 370
