What's your offsets if you don't mind sharing, also 325/25/20 -- 265/30/20 ?

Has anyone been able to fit a 325/30/19 on a stock Nismo 10.5" wheel?? I bought a used set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar EMTs and nobody could seat the beads. I really want a 325 tire for looks and because it's the only size up from the factory 285/35/19 that is pretty much the exact same diameter.

I bought the used set of Goodyears for that reason, to test fit....but they wouldn't fit and I believe it's mainly because they are run flats and the sidewall is mutch thicker...and in combination with the extra width, it causes an issue. I am wondering if anybody has been able to fit a regular 325/30/19 tire on the factory Nismo rim.

The car that comes with these from the factory is the C6 Corvette Z06 / Grand Sport, which has 19x12" wheels in the rear...I figured that 1.5" less than a factory spec size would still work but apparently I was wrong. I just hope that someone has been able to fit a normal 325.

Thanx

305/30 is close enough!!! And it looks good

VinceThe1 · 09-18-2014, 08:56 PM

Yea but 305/30 looks good on the sport package Rays, which are a half inch narrower than the Nismo Rays.

I really want a 325...sucks that mine don't fit, and 315/30 19s are really hard to find.

Trust me, I know, I have only owned a few sets of each, lol

305s on 10" bulges a bit, but 305 on 10.5" is pretty flat, but still meaty enough to protect the wheel

VinceThe1 · 09-18-2014, 09:15 PM

I know what you mean but even though my Goodyears won't seat, the half that does seat looks really good, also, I can find 325/30/19s much much cheaper as it seems than 305 or 315s...I found a set of brand new 325s for $368 shipped...can't beat that. If Even if I don't get an answer confirming fitment I think I'll still risk it and try.

I agree. I had 305 on sport rims also and didn't notice any bulge.

Here's a pic, from Christian370z's build thread, of 305 RE-11s on sport rims

I only know about a slight bulge with RS3s. I haven't really seen it in person.

My 305 RS3s on the Nismo wheels without a spacer on stock ride height looks amazing

Hotrodz · 09-18-2014, 09:24 PM

Heed DE's advise and save yourself from having to replace them with something else shortly after purchasing them. 305s and if you don't have spacers you need to get 15mm and the fit will be spot on....
