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 :) |

All, After having read this thread, I followed the wider tire advice. I went with Hankook Ventus Evo2s all around. I used the 265/35ZR19 up front and the 305/30ZR19 in the back. Plenty beefy as tires go. Very good grip in the wet. It's been raining here in North Texas for the last 7-10 days. The tracking is very crisp. I got a fresh alignment due to the toe wear on all 4 OEM tires. The OEM Bridgestone S001s lasted 19400 miles (Surprised even me). Steering effort with the Evo2s is nice and light at speed. Not overly stiff at crawling speeds.
Just my $.02 worth. Tip of the hat to VinceThe1 for a good write-up and suggestion. My '14 Nismo thanks you as well. |
Im considering this mod to get the beefier look as well on my 2015 Nismo with stock Rays wheels.. I wont be using spacers but i do want to install Swift springs. From what im reading i should be flush but at stock height. I didnt catch if your car was dropped or not.
What should i expect? Is it possible to lower the car on this setup without rubbing. Camber? |
It's not dropped. The tires do fill the wheel well quite nicely. You might have rubbing if you go lower. It looks like it to me if I tried to lower my Z.
The other nice thing is the sidewalls of the tires are vertical instead of bowed in. Hopefully lessens the chance of curbing the rims. Good luck if you do lower your Z. |

My car is at stock ride height so I can't speak from experience, however the Z is my daily driver...I go everywhere with it and the stock clearance is already on the edge for that. No, I won't lift it lol...but I don't want to lower it either. |

I am very tempted to try out the RE-11, but I do not like the price or the wet traction ratings the I have seen in the past. Who knows, I could end up in Baltimore and we all know how that goes (I'm from there, so I really do know). :ughdance: |

I did however buy the cooper 325s...they were just too good a deal at $180/piece. That was under $400 unstalled for both, anything else would of cost me $600 or more. Mayhe next time I'll get RE-11s since ~$600 isn't a bad deal for those. |
If I could find 325/30R19 RE-11s for that cheap, idk how JaviZ found them but from what I'm seeing the're up by the $700s. There really is no better deal than the Cooper RS-3S 325/30R19s, $180 at Discount Tire.
