Martin W Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks bud Looking forward to receiving them - Refurb option is booked. Question on Tyres though. These are 19" x 8.5" Front/ 9.5" Rear If I put 245 on the front (as Nissan do with the RE040 8.5") but at 35 Profile Front Tyre sidewall = 35% x 245 = 85.75mm (3.37") and I put 275 on the back - Question 1 - Is that what you had & is that too wide? - nearly 11" Then by my calcs To maintain the same height front and rear I want a sidewall which is 275/ 85.75 = 31 or say 30 profile - which in theory would make the sidewall 2mm smaller at the back. Thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Same profile all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Same profile all round. Yup, I've seen the same response many atime from Sarnie, in the wheels/tyres forums, but why ? I'v looked a lot at the offers from DP Motrorpsort on Fleabay, and most every Wheel and Tyre staggered package for the Z has profiles which are different front to back.??

3FIDDYZ Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Profiles are different cause they are staggered maybe? Will have a look at my Falkens when I get home and let you know what mine are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 lots of peeps use different profiles front and rear, its purely cosmetic, the rears are wider so the profile will be bigger as it is proportional to the width of the tyre, so peeps go lower at the rear to balance the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Mine are same profile all round. 245/35/19 & 275/35/19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 From what i know, should be the same profile all round matey , DP motorsport all there adverts are like that, but if you ask them they will change it to the same profile's. Have heard some things about the T/C light kicking in with different profiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That's the reason mate. Different profiles can upset the TC system etc. I run 245/30x20 and 285 (I think....)/30x20 Generally it's kept the same be Zed specialists. Remember that nissan put 225/45x18 and 245/45x18 on the car as standard..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
