This is correct.

They do not make these in a 285 which is what comes on your Nismo. But same for the sport package Z that comes with 275 in the rear. You can go to 295 or even 305 no problem. Although I wouldn't go too big unless you are in it just for looks and don't care for losing a little mpg's in the process un-related to how far you put down your right foot...due to increasing rotational mass. But if you go boosted you could use more meat to help put it to the ground.

Try the Yokohama Ad08 ADVAN Neovas. The 275/35/19 is wider than the stock 285 on the NISMO. Also lighter going wider means more rubber and weight. Tirerack states the are more like a 295. The replacement from sport stock is lighter by about 5 or 6 lbs.

How is a 275 wider than a 285? This is a mm measurement of the tire i thought?
