Help: Tire recommendations for new 19x10.5" square for DD use and tire rotation

synolimit · 01-05-2014, 12:52 AM

I wouldn't do 285 on a 10.5 but that's just me. In fact a member of our car club just posted this pic and asked "this doesn't look right does it?" We all agreed no, it doesn't. To much stretch and I'd be scared of blowing the tire off the bead. I say if you're going to do wheels and tires do it right. In my eyes that's at least 10% over the wheel, yet not above 20%. That puts you at a 295 at least, I like 305 however.

Do you know what kind of tire that is by any chance? I know brands can run wide or narrow sometimes.

No I don't and yes that's true.

what are you smoking? can i have some? the nismo comes stock with 285/35 on a 10.5 rim...

anyway, that pic doesnt look right. 285 should fit MORE than fine on a 10.5 rim. in fact...stock sport wheels are 275 on a 10.5 rim. that rim must be 11" wide, or hes not running 285.

OP: if you have a nismo (which it looks like you do), depending on your suspension, i would not go 285 on the front wheels. im running 265/35 on the fronts and lowered about an inch from stock all around. i rub on dips, whereas i didnt used to rub ever on the stock 245/40 front. our nismo bumper unfortunately doesnt allow as wide of tires as the non-nismo guys.

im on KW V3's. i used to be pretty low, but after hitting the track i had to raise it quite a bit. id say im about an inch lower than stock now. before my new 265/35 up front, i had absolutely no issues with my ride height and rubbing. if you're stock, suspension wise, you can probably get away with 285's squared and no rubbing, but no guarantees

otherwise, your nismo bumper will start to look like mine:

Ouch on the bumper! I guess the only way ill know is if i try it out. The few guys i had been speaking to run a 285/305 setups on their nismos with swift springs and look like they were a little luckier. Did most of the bumper deformation get like that when you were a much lower than you are now?

Do you think rolling fenders/liner modification would have helped your situation a lot more had you been more aware?

Im still really new to this but, Does height of the tire/sidewall affect rubbing too?

Also fyi, i really appreciate all this advice you have been giving.

Lol and the car has -0 front camber and -2 rear. Doesn't mean nissans always right

. I prefer more meat and wheel protection is all. And like I showed in the pic the tire can be not ideal.

The stock sport wheels are not 10.5, they're 10. And a 275 on a 10" wheels within my 10%

. I'll find the tire out but I don't think he's dumb. He knows its a 285/35/19 tire.

Agreed... I have a 275 on a 10.5 wide rim right now and you definitely don't see too much stretch at ALL. 285 can only be better than that, unless it really depends on the tire as well.

Do you have a pic by any chance? What tire brand are you running? I'm starting to learn toward a 275/35/19 on front and rears in Pilot Super Sports since they run a little wider and tirerack states it will fit/look similar to my 285/35/19 in advan sports

That's just retarded.
