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.

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.

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

I thought this is the "Meaty Tire Thread"? Like 275 and bigger in the front and 305 and bigger in the rear.
