well after several sets of tires, RE 11s, RE50R, OEM yokos, and now the buying the continental DW's ive come to an inevitable decision to go wider. Now as you all know the stocks on a nismo are 245 40 19f 285 35 19r. ive heard quite a few stories of some beefy tires going on the g37 but not many on the Z yet. Whats the widest i can go W/O spacers? i chose 265 35 19f 305 30 19r this time around to be a little conservative. also noticing that the wider you go with low pro the smaller they make the damn side wall so it looks retarded with a 4 inch gap under the fenders....... that being said, will 275f 315r fit? spacers involved? does it look stupid? does anyone have some confirmed pics on this one? im talking trackable, not road driving....... dont need the fronts rubbing in fast corners. And yes, i saw the will it fit thread much of which is full of back and forth talk about track recommendations and **** that im not willing to sift through 12 pages of. 265 35 19f 305 30 19r..... will it fit, what spacers, what offset. i dont know a lot about the camber of the car, so im relying on you guys so i dont get butt ****** at the goodyear place "only location around with a big enough tire machine" because they will act as though they know what they are doing even if they dont...... and im the only one that gets screwed on that deal.

On this note, someone who's familiar with the tires sizes shoul really compile all this stuff and make it a sticky.

I agree. On a excel spreadsheet would be nice with spacer info too. Is that too much to ask? I am only a novice a Excel.

Use this calculator. Try to stay within the spec diameter and maximum tire width for the wheel and you should be fine.

in the rears i am at 19x11 +18 305/30/19 (NO SPACERS), and will be doing 325's next (and this fits very flush....couldnt go wider without serious camber)

btw i think 325 would be pushing it on the 10.5" nismo rim...i dont think 315's exist.
