Why you should use these tires with NISMO Wheels: 285/35R19 (F), 325/30R19 (R)

Scary...now if I install 10mm spacers in the front and my next, replacement 285s are like your Yokohamas, I'll have to remove the spacers haha

The way I look at it:

245 to 285 = +40mm width increase in the front
285 to 325 = +40mm width increase in the rear

So far, nearly 10k miles on this setup, on my otherwise worn out rear tires (camber wear). However, at the front they can keep on rolling on their unworn, outside portion of their tread for a quite a while longer...atleast another 10k I'd say. That's 20k on otherwise garbage rear tires, not bad...only problem is I can only do that once. Can't move the 325s in the front when they wear out lol

Forgot to mention, I bought the RE-11s on ebay, brand new, $535 shipped for the pair. Anyone looking, search a bit, there are deals out there. $400/tire was not gonna happen.

Also, anyone in SoCal's IE, if you are beyond anal with your car like me I highly recommend America's Tire in Riverside on Magnolia. Super cool guys and they took extra care to not scratch my wheels.

What does everyone think about just keeping the front OEM 245/40-19 and widening up the rears to 325/30-19?

That's way too big a difference between front and rear.

What would the draw backs be?

if you do anything, widen the front to 265/35/19 and leave the rear stock. It works well.

I kick myself everytime I read this thread, I should have put my 285's up front and put 325's on the rear.

I though of doing that myself, however, the 245s on the 9.5" wheel look almost stretched, with the lip fully exposed. In comparrison to the rear, It wouldn't look right. With the 285s upfront, the front looks beefy and the in the rear, the 325s are even beefier.

Also, fat tires ftw!

More probability for oversteer

More under steer. The fronts will lose grip before the rear.

Yea that's what I meant.

My research says understeer because the rears push harder but how bad would it be?

If you really want to do that, just install 325s in the rear but keep your 285s. If you don't like the look/feel, replace the 245s with the 285s...you've got nothing to loose
