spacers. Rub or no rub. I think the rears might be fine with 285\35\19 on 25mm spacers with 1.0"drop in the rear. Oh snap......back to square one on the learning curve...... I just learned that to keep the car from alot of understeer, that I should be looking at similiar ratios to stock. For the RE-11's the ideal combo is 265/305 but what I am hearing is that the 305 is too large for the 19" sport wheel, that is if I don't do anything else. Other tires come in different sizes that will have the right ratios. This is making my head hurt! I may just go with stock sizes this time around and wait to see how everything looks and fits (tires, drop, spacers) after the Eibach springs are swapped out for Swift. I am keeping my 20mm/25mm spacers. America's Tire has a tire calculator for checking ratios. Gonna go crunch some numbers. |

lol buddy, i was just joking. this is what forum good for right?
sorry i got 19" before, but now i got 20x10 +10 with 255 tires front and 20x12 +0 with 305 tires rear and still no rub. |
It's not so much the height of the tire, you just don't want to run a wider tire in the back than the front unless your car is naturally not balanced (mid or rear engine cars) or you want to create understeer. Nissan staggered the tires to create understeer so people don't kill themselves, creating more is just as stupid. Drive at your own risk

Thanks for clearing the air on your tire and wheel combo set up. Good to know that even with 19" sport wheels that you did not rub. :tiphat: |
35/19

For example if the difference in width on stock from front to rear is a difference of 1.18" then I should look for tires with the same difference or as close the 1.18" difference to keep understeer within the stock range? From America's Tire (Tire Calculator) Tire Dimensions Made Simple - Discount Tire EDITED: COLDSHOT corrected me on the stock Fr tire size. I plugged in both front and rear 245/40/19 FR 275/35/19 Rr The difference in "section width is 1.18 Am I on the right track here? |
wrong, stock tires should be
245/40/19 FR 275/35/19 Rr or 285/35/19 same as nismo stock tires size |
Corrected original post, thanks COLDSHOT.

So crunching some tire sizes on America's Tire Calculator it came up with a difference in "Section Width" for:
245/40/19 & 275/35/19 = Section Width difference of 1.18 245/40/19 & 285/35/19 = 1.57 255/35/19 & 285/35/19 = 1.18 255/35/19 & 305/30/19 = 1.97 265/35/19 & 305/30/19 = 1.58 Is this about right as to what I should be looking for? Meaning the 1.18 tires would be similiar to stock and stock understeer and anything higher would create more understeer. |
