370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

Hey guys, I know this may have been asked already but there's a ton of info here to sort through: Will I lose height going from 245/40 to 265/35 fronts and 285/35 to 305/30 rears?

most liekly. its tire specific to. go on tire rack and compare the overall diameters of the tires and sizes you are looking at

The same calculation can be used for any tire. Multiply the tire width (245) by the profile (.40) to get the mm height.

EX. 245 x .40 = 98 mm, 265 x .35 = 92.75 mm

The answer is yes, you would lose height going from a 245/40 to a 265/35

The offset doesn't matter since you are calculating the width/height of the wheel/tire combo. The offset comes into play whenever you start thinking about how you want them to fit under your fenders and potentially clear BBKs.
