370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

that few MM will have less tire contact, which will make it push more rather then plant the car on the ground and go. I mean its your car so its your deal but with me personally I never do more then a 20mm stagger, if any.

Ive actually seen on the my350z where people in the road racing section talk about on a square setup still having understeering problems while being pushed on the track...saying they wanna try putting a 285 R 305 F to rotate more. No one ever tried it. People are rocking 315/30/18 Hoosiers though, thats probably a fun ride around a track!

Nissan does a lot of silly things so yes that's what I'm saying.

I didn't bother going through this long thread but will 255/35/19 and 305/30/19 work on stock nismo wheels? Thanks guys!

Just a tip... Most guys are much less willing to help when you are lazy and don't search first... And on the oter hand much more willing to help out if you have done some research yourself and know what questions to ask without someone asking you for more details.. That being said, it depends on modifications, but stock height and no spacers, yes 255 and 305 will fit fine, however I suggest stepping the front up to 265 if you're running 305s in the rear
