It matters to the VDC. Put on tires that are too far off from the OEM OD and you will have the VDC kicking in all the time.

Ask me how I know.

That's kind of what I mean. I don't think swapping the wheel & tire package from a Nismo to a base would really throw it out of wack for example. There's a bit of wiggle room in tire sizes but not much.

You are correct. Honestly, for how much the VDC kicks in with my NISMO with the wider wheels and tires, I don't think Nissan re-calibrated anything over the base car.

I am going to try a 305/30/19 rear when I need tires and see how the car likes it. It's much closer to the stock OD of 26.5".

Here you go. I'm running on 285 RE-11's in the rear now, but this is how a nismo wheel would look on the sport RE-050's

Any shots of the wheels from the top or the back? I just want to see how "stretched" it looks.

I guess I saw some in your profile, does not look like there is any rim sticking out. Thanks.

Check my album Here
EDIT: lol, You responded before I put up the link to my album.

Those are all the shots I have online with the 275s on the rear. I might have some more at home. If i find any others I'll post em up later tonight

Yeah if anything the tire looks slightly concave, but the rim isn't much more exposed than it is on a 285. You should be fine.

the sidewalls of tires by tire brand looks different too.

here's a continetal DW 275/35/19 on 10.5" weds.

RE050, S04's both show more stretch than the AdvanSports even though on same wheel width, same tire width.
