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

Vince.....................YOU ARE THE F-N MAN!!! This setup looks so sick, just did it today. Went with V12's since I am on a budget (expecting a new addition to the family) and don't track/drift/race/etc etc. Although every now and then I do a little spirited driving.The ride feels 10x smoother and I know because this is my DD, the grip is sweet, honestly it feels like a new ride, and it looks bad as ****. I posted pics in the meaty tire thread. No spacers needed... flush on the rear and almost flush on the front. I needed new tires all the way around anyway so I took your setup and I am so glad I did. Thanks again cheers

repped you for getting this out to us.

Does anyone have the old nismo offsets compared to the new nismo wheel offsets?

I love this setup guys. I want more meat on my tires in the sidewall. I want a thicker tire to help with road noise, cushion, AND space between tire and lip. Could I go with 315/35/19 in the rear and be ok with rubbing?

what alignment specs are you guys running?

I'm running stock Touring Sport alignment @ stock ride height. I do have 10mm spacers upfront and 2.5mm in the rear now and still don't rub. (didn't have the spacers on the original pics)

315/35R19 would be way too large of an overall diameter, 325/30R19 is really close to the stock 285/35R19 in diameter. Idk if you'll rub or not but you'll have massive sidewall and a huge tire...I wouldn't step away from factory overall diameter, atleast not that far.

Thanx man! I had the V12s on the front and recently got RE-11s (just upfront, still wear the coopers in the rear). It's an awesome setup, with the extra grip upfront it corners hard but could be dangerous as it bites so hard the rear wants to swing out during hard cornering without even hitting the gas now...almost like an MR haha
