GIXXERUK Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 most use 275 on the rear but they would be fine what wheels Quote
ZeddZ Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 Cheers,just been checking prices and 285's are about £90 a tyre dearer than 275's so 275's it is. Quote

rmmackfc Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I thought the embossed NISMO logos would be a good start Quote
ZeddZ Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 I thought the embossed NISMO logos would be a good start My Dads 64,he wouldn't know an embossed logo if it kicked him up the arse.To him its 2 bits of bent steel with various holes in it. Quote
ZeddZ Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 You want 275/35 on the rear. That would mean putting 235/40's on the front to keep the rolling radius the same. Quote
Digsy Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62 Haven't done the calculation myself but seems to be the size recommended by most in the know. Ran them on mine with no probs too. Ask Phil if you want a second opinion. Quote

GIXXERUK Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I'm running 275/35/19 and 245/35/19 - no issues although i have noticed a lot of peeps run the rear on a lower 30 profile to try to balance the look, as the rear are wider and the 35 look bigger as the profile is proportional to the width of the tyre i doubt it makes much difference to the handling or general driving for 99.9% of us Quote
Ian Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I'm running 275/35/19 and 245/35/19 - no issues +1 Quote
bigphil Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 245/35 and 275/35 are the correct sizes for 19'' rims. Quote
