255's have a 96 load rating, which is more than stock, can they be mounted even tho they are (slightly) wider than stock?

So since Costco won't actually mount the tires, are people going in a different car to pick them up? I can't imagine we can or want to fit 4 re-11 tires in our cars. Can we even fit 2 in our hatch? Just curious about logistics if I were to buy them.

Tonybui, I don't think re-11s come in 275 (stock) size if that's what you were referring to.

Well personally the Z is not my DD. And no they won't mount 255s because they are a size other than stock... technically costco will not suggest the RE-11s as an option for the Z... you have to buy them at your own risk.

I went to my local Costco and picked up my RE-11s today. I was refunded the tire mounting and disposal fee while I was there. Drove the Frontier up to the bay and they handed all four to me and off we went! When I asked the guy there if they could mount them with my wheels, he waved me off. Said, it would be best if you have a place with a touchless system that can do it to let them. He said they had a guy with a Bimmer bring in some special 7K wheels special ordered by Costco for him mounted and although he stood with the installer as he installed each wheel to the tire, he still found problems in the same spot on each wheel. That caused major problems between the guys there at Costco and the purchaser. I thanked him for his honesty and will be taking them to my local tuning shop that can do it.

It is possible to fit 4 but very unsafe, the one time i did it...for a very short distance... (less than .5 mile from my storage unit to the installer) i put one in the hatch and 3 in the passenger seat/arm rest. I ended up with one tire against my head since it was so far over. Needless to say i did it only out of curiosity and wont be repeating the event.... I would imagine you could fit 2 in the hatch but ill never know since i have the roll cage.

Might have to make multiple trips or rent a van for a short period.

Didn't Tony fit four tires (2 in the back and 2 up front in the passenger seat) before?

Hmm... he might have. :icon17:

It would suck to get in an accident with them, though.

Remove the spare tire, you can do it. One in the spare tire well, one on top and between the seats. You should be able to slide the smaller 245 fronts in the passenger seat

I can get my sister to go with me, just wondering if I would need to resort to that when it was new tore time. Didn't think about the spare, we have a full size one right? that's a good thing to remember.

nope little wheel. It doesn't help much since you still can't stack two. It only gives you room to slide one between the seat and the trunk area. Personally none of my friends or wife are reliable source of transportation, I end up getting a trailer to get everything in.

hey guys about to order re-11, what tire size do you recommend ? I would like to go 265/285 but am afraid this will cause too much understeer? does anyone have any other recommendations?

265/285 and 285 all around both work. If you don't track, just keep it at 265 so you don't put that much stress on the sidewall by stretching it.

keep in mind that 265-35-19 is almost .5 inches smaller diameter from stock. and a 285-35-19 is slightly larger (.27) than stock.

thanks for the advice guys, this is proving more difficult than I thought I will occasionaly track my car, not often as I have a dedicated track car, but will do some lapping nights where a track car is overkill. So looking to rid of some of the understeer in the car by upping tire size. so the the 265/285 works in Re-11; would you guys recommend these over lets say a 255/275 ado8; or a michelin pilot supersport? I dont care about looks more about performance. any advice would be greatly appreciated; the ad08's will be a bit cheaper which is nice and the PSS would be more expensive.

thanks in advance,

I don't know too much about tires, so are you suggesting the larger rear tires will cause understeer? If i go 285s for the rear because re-11s don't come in 275s, should i go wider up front as well to avoid understeer?

I would get 245-40-19 fronts.

You can't go too wide on the front tires without compromising safety as the stock sport wheels are only 9". You can stick a 285 in there, but there is always that risk of stretching the sidewalls too much. Does it make the car faster and drive nicer? Absolutely, you just have to weight your risks with performance vs. safety. Car has 54%+ of its weight in front, you don't think it would benefit from having a big tire in front? You are kidding yourself.
