Anybody know what the tread width is for Nitto NT05's. I can't seem to find it and the tirerack doesn't sell them. I currently run 285/35/19 and 325/30/19 rears in RE11's.

305/35/19 for the front
335/30/19 for the rear.

The only thing I could find is overall width.
305 is 12.32"
335 is 13.31"

You shopping for winter tires?

jchammond 10-18-2018 07:13 AM
Traction was iffy in the cold weather; but overall ride quality,rain,etc... the Invo's performed well on mine.
A 345/30/19 will go on your rear wheels & they make 285/35's for the front.
:tup:
I still have 2 front's mounted on 10's & they're squared off/ as the 345's were a tad stretched on the 12's.

I am shopping for replacements for my RE11's when they come do which will be the first of next year. It's a struggle to find something better. I want the
same or preferably more grip with longevity like the RE11's. A little less will be fine.

Looks like RE11's are as follows.

285 is 11.5"
325 is 13.0"

So what max size should I goto on the rear if I am trying to keep my front at 245/40R19?

Should I go 295/30 on the rear. My tire shop said if I 305/30 on the rear and leave the front 245/40 then the car will want to seriously track straight. I don't really want to comprimise handling, so I was thinking of just going to a 295/30 on the rear.

What are your wheel specs?

That looks perfect, are you on coils or springs?

Thank you sir, Eibach Lowering springs.

But car looks lower because of Varis Lip kit.

OptionZero 11-30-2018 10:40 PM
time to throw those springs away and go full coilovers so you can get some real stance

I would, but only reason I won't is because I don't want to make my car anymore illegal than it already is, coils are illegal here in SA, Aus.

To get coils I would have to first get them engineered. But I already have a whole list of mods that are already on the car that need to be engineered to make them legal. A huge cost ahead of me.... ;(

Went 285/35/19 front and 355/30/19 rears
(19x12 front & 19x14 rears)

CRiZO 12-01-2018 10:05 PM
Koenigsegg's have less tire lol.

In the rear. I'm running 345/30-19 PPS on 19x12, +28. No rubbing, but I don't think I have enough clearance to run a true coil-over in the rear. It's tight at the top of tire and shock. If true coil-overs are in your plans. Go with the 325's.
did you have to do anything to the rear to fit?
I have 305/35/18 toyo r888r on 12" et 27 and its stretching a bit. I want to go to 335's next

jchammond 12-16-2018 03:38 AM
I’m thinking Rusty is out of town for a week or so; i’m Pretty sure he had no fitment issues in the rear w/stock suspension & -1.75* camber.
I had to replace my traction arm bolts w/smaller head ones...when I ran 345/30/19 invo’s on 19x12 et38, as I ran only -1.0* camber out back. My pinch point was the traction arm & had about a finger between shock. But I’m 10mm further inward than Rusty.
Hopefully this helps you; as I’m sure he’ll reply when he returns :tiphat:

Thank you for your help! Its only another 10 mm on the inside but with 12's we're already cutting it close

You should be fine with factory negative camber(or close to it), as I tried to stand mine more upright for max traction while launching :ugh2:
I never rubbed & had clearance as tight as 1/4” :eek:

Haha well I am at -2.4 all around, I might go back to around 1.5

No trouble fitting the 345's on a 12", 28+ rim. Stock height. No need to lower the car. Very little gap between the fender and tire. The tire has about an inch of clearance at the top of the shock. That is your limiting factor for shocks or coil overs. Spring diameter.

oo thank you for all of this info. I am lowered on KW V3's, About 1.75 inches in front and 1.25 in the rear. I thought I was cutting it close with those 305's

Since your lowered. The top of the tire will be inside the fender.

I see, my main concern is inside clearance

OptionZero 12-22-2018 05:51 PM
i would never worry about the inside clearance on the Z34. Its a fuckin' cavern

For most set ups. Clearance at the top of shock, coil over becomes an issue with something close to mine.

:rofl2: What's the rear look like?

gomer_110 02-16-2019 10:23 PM
Not nearly as silly since the rear is the same wheel and tire. There will most certainly be some "clearancing" to make this work with the suspension under load.

grahamcracker 03-21-2019 02:26 PM
Hey all, I've been doing lots of reading in this sub but want to make sure I'm tracking with my ideas.

With a base 2010, I'm wanting to run Work Kiwami 19x9.5 +25 fronts 19x10.5 +12 rears, then 265/35/19 front tires 305/30/19 rears. Anything jump out?

I just went with 285/30/19 front and 305/30/19 rear. I'd rather have 265 or 275 up front I think. But itll fit.

What's the difference in tire height? If it's more than 3%. You'll have some lights going on.

I just got a set of Hankook, 305-30 & 265—35.
After listening to the tire guy swear for 45 minutes I heard him torque the wheels and tipped him $60.
He seemed pretty happy and he did a great job

305/35/19 proper meats spring prep!

Cause rears should always be meatier than fronts :tup:

Dahawkster 06-01-2019 01:20 PM
Is anybody running 305/35/19 on stock sport wheels? Wondering if you have any clearance issues.

You may want to consider 305/30/19.
