Do you think a 275 will rub or stick out too far? I just ordered the exact same wheels and offset for the front and was debating going with a 275. I am stock height.

Definitly not. But the car will look like a 4x4 if not lowered some.

Does looking like a 4x4 mean sticking out or really large gaps between the tire and fender? When i think 4x4, i think of my jeep where the tires are sticking out about 6" from my fenders!

A friend of mine that has a Nismo is running RE11's on the stock Nismo rims with 285's in the front! He told me it was a noticable difference from 265's for traction at the autocross. He does autocross a lot. But as far as sticking out too far, no, they don't. But as far as looking like a 4x4, lowering would be recommended! The Swift springs is what i'd recommend for a conservative drop; that is what i used.

Is the 4x4 look due to the gap in the fender, that's one phrase I never understood? I want swifts but I'm holding out for a little.

Yeah, tire to fender gap, not tires outside the bodyline difference.

Good to know!

:tiphat:

Yea, you can have the nicest, most expensive rims out there, but wheel gap will just ruin the entire look of the car/wheel dynamic.

:iagree:

And also conversely, have the best drop/ride height in the world, and ruin it by hella-flush retardedness. :bowrofl:

:iagree: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

I'm running 9.5x19, +25 in the front. and 12x19, +28 in the rear. 275/35-19 and 325/30-19 Mich PSS's. Almost the same hieght as the tires. No spacers, no drop. I'm already beating it off the bump stops during track days. IF I lower it. It will only be a 1/2" with coil-overs.

tire specs?

Looks like 265/35 and 305/30.

I'm running a 19x9.5 in the front with 265/35/19 tire. I think its a perfect fit, especially when lowered.
