luka761 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Hello all, Hoping a tyre guru might be able to help. So I've got the Rays wheels on the 370 currently fitted with a 275 width Kumho tyre and 20mm spacers. I would like to fit a 285 Goodyear and 25mm spacers to get a wider more aggressive stance. Can anyone envisage any problems or knows of anyone who has run into trouble such as having to roll out your wheel arches etc? Quote
flyboy Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 370 arches come pre rolled from the factory Quote
flyboy Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Unless you have a huge drop it should be fine. I run a 20mm spacer front and back with a 30mm drop with a 275 rear tyre with no problems, I would probably get away with a 285 as its only another 5mm closer to the arch Edited October 20, 2015 by flyboy Quote
davey_83 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 hhhhmmmmmm stance and phat tyres dont seem right to me. flush or stance look with a little bit of stretch i think looks great, so with bigger spacers i would go for a 255 width tyre for full effect. Quote
luka761 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 I take your point but that's a matter of personal asthetic's, I'm interested if I can go a bit further then flyboy without anything jarring or scraping. By the time I've bought the tyres its kind of too late to decide its a bad idea. Does anyone know of someone who has fitted 285's on the rear with 25mm spacers? Quote
Richf Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I have 275 with 25mm spacers and could easily get a 285 under there in fact I'm thinking about a 305 but i am stock ride height with stock wheels Quote
luka761 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I had 305's on my 350z with stock ride height but custom alloys (19"). I found during pacey driving if you hit dips in the road the tyres would scrape against something as the body of the car pushed down onto the springs. Edited October 21, 2015 by luka761 Quote
Richf Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Sorry thought we were talking about 370's Quote
luka761 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah we are mate, I had a 350 before my 370, was just trying to illustrate that I probably went a bit to wide there or the springs weren't right or something. Quote
