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.

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 wouldn't go 305/25. I would suggest 305/30, 315/30, or even 325/30 since you have 20x11. In the sizes that I just mentioned, not every tire will look the same. I would go with the PSS.

HELP (Please?) 8]

New wheels coming in at,

20 x 9.5 +16mm
20 x 11.0 +13mm

What is the ideal set up for function and avoiding the use of spacers?

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