The front fenders did need to be modified a little with +20 offset....:tup:

Sick wheels what did you have to do to the fenders?

Like_a_boss 04-23-2013 04:26 AM

rubbing issue
 
It was chirping the tires on every small bump so i removed the fender liner and had that bracket that holds the fender to the front bumper trimmed and a new fastener installed now it doesn't rub on any bumps at all.:happydance:

Can you take pics of how you trimmed and secured the bumper/fender fastener? I was having that issue and had to raise the car up :(

sfearl1 you run spacers with your RE30s or is that all offset?

KaienZ34 04-29-2013 06:39 AM

Pretty sure that's just offset.

I have 15mm spacers on the rear. Fronts are perfect.

I am contemplating getting wider tires for the front of my nismo which has the stock rims of 9.5" on the front. I kept the stock 285/35/19 in the rear but I am torn between the 275/35/19 or the 265/35/19 for the fronts. I like the 275 because it's real close to the stock size, but will it bulge too much compared to the rear?

Any input on this would be awesome. I really don't know what to do, I just don't like the stock 245 stretched look...

ok I just bought 20x9.5 +25 front 20x10.5 +22
on my stock sport rays I went flush with a 30mm spacer up front and a 38 rear.

I want to know how meaty can I go and still be flush with these offsets? I am thinking 265/35 and 305/30? or larger? Please let me know the best tire height as well I don't like the taller 4x4 look!

Will the new width cancel me needing the spacers ( not the ones from my sport I'm thinking a 5mm front and a 10mm rear)? Also I am dropped on Eibachs...The pic is to give an idea how low I am... I really want the rear to have a stretched look..

Also I don't want to have to roll fenders or anything...

Xplicit97 07-09-2013 11:33 AM

I love them, no rubbing, minor scraping of my lip on my street because its uneven. I plan on getting 15mm spacers all around.

Still trying to figure out a track setup and tire. Maybe square if 285 can fit in the front but not sure until I lower and get the negative camber setup.

man your car looks insane!!! love the black on black combination. When i buy wheels im going to use the same specs of wheels 19x9.5 +22 front & 19x10.5+12 rear.. but i want to ask you if you have problems with any rubb on your fenders with that size of tires. Let me know!!! thanks!!

emillion45 11-12-2013 01:07 PM

Has anyone attempted a 285/35/20 on the front with a 10.5 wheel? Looking for a square setup that has some protection (run-flat tires)

KaienZ34 11-12-2013 01:19 PM

Check out WoW's profile, he's running 285/30/20 and 345/25/20.

JaviZ 11-22-2013 05:38 PM

Anyone know which 305 is the widest - Pilot Super Sport, RE-11, Advan?

m4a1mustang 12-02-2013 09:25 AM

Maybe the PSS since it has the square sidewall.

Speaking of PSS, has anyone fit them on the stock Rays yet in 305/30/19? I know the 305s work out fine for the RE11, but I think the PSS is a bit wider (tread width, anyways) with the square shoulder. I've seen it on Mustang/BMW but have yet to see it on a Z.

It's a huge pic so I didn't embed.

Edit: Scratch that. 305 PSS is definitely going to be too wide. 295 max with that tire on the 19x10. You can get away with a 305 on the RE11 but the PSS is just too wide.

Yup I believe PSS run widest, followed by neova, then re11.

305/30 treadwidth is about

neova ~11.7"
pss ~ 12.1"
re11 ~ 11.1"

I just ordered a 19x10.5" +30 square setup lowered of swifts. Looking to TRY and run 295/30/19 in PSS's. I "feel" like the 285/35/19 PSS will be more likely to rub because it'll be a taller/less square fitting tire on a 10.5". I know a few guys run 18x10.5"+30 square with 285/35/18 tires without much issues at all. Does any have any advice/feedback for this?

after doing tons of research and learning about nismo fitment, i believe tire brand and type matters a lot in terms of looking square and having a bulge.

example: 285/35/19 on the front nismo wheels in RE11 is not really bulged at all, where the same size in PSS would be a huge bulge.

I have nismo rims with 305.30.19 on the back. Still undecided in the front. I have 245.30.19 up front and I dont like them at all.. thinking 285.35/40.19 to match the height of the rears. Hankook v12s. I love the rear fitamemt @ 305. Perfect tire.

285/35/19 fits fine on the front nismo 9.5" as long as your not lower than swifts or have spacers. Hankook v12s run a little thinner than others so that helps too. With spacers u might need to roll a bit if youre lowered.

Good to know. No spacers and coils so I can adjust if needed.

Suggestions for a 20x11 wheel? I'm having a hell of a time deciding. I put 275/30 on them last fall before storing it and that was a horrible choice. 305/25 is too short (not enough sidewall) and smaller diameter than stock... 285/30 doesnt seem like much improvement over the current 275 which is too stretched.

I have 305/30/19 and for the front its 265/35/19 Perfect amount of tire and same height with the 305 at 26.3.

:tup: That is a good set up. When I have to replace my tires I would probably go with the same set up (265/35 front & 305/30 rear), but I'm thinking maybe a bit wider in the rear like 315/30.

johncy2000 01-29-2014 10:28 AM

Just gotta make sure they are just about the same height. 15mm spacers and Swift springs are on the way!
