Qais2000 · 02-05-2014, 02:11 PM

Hi all

I need small help i just bought used 370z 40th anniversary and the i want to change the old tiers, the problem i only found tires for rear with this size :275/40 R19 while the factory tiers size is 275/35 R19 rear tire. so will it be ok to use it?

The car is stock with out any modifications.

By the way am in Oman and i bought the car from the US :-) i just got it yesterday.

This my first post.

Regards

do you have any available 285/35/19? those are nismo rear size.

275/40/19 will fit but they will be pretty meaty...

And your speedometer will be off.

No, it's not, but I would stick with factory approved heights. And congrats on your purchase, Qais!

Hi , thanks for you feedback, will Nismo rear size tires work fine with no rubbing issues?

Ok, that looked odd to me as well. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Kinda unamused the only other one person on my side was you.
