gazz350z Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 hi, i picked up my new 350z jdm today and noticed it has 225/17 dunlop tyres at the rear, the bloody thing lights them them up any ideas what they should be cheers guys Quote
clarkie34 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Don't know about JDM cars but UK cars are on 18s and have 245s at the rear. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I’d wait for a fellow Import owner to confirm but from memory, I think the correct fitment is: Front: 225/50W17 | Rear: 235/50W17 As above, let another Import owner confirm this though... Quote

Tyres grip, Power goes down, Zed goes forward quickly Quote

I can confirm that these sizes are correct. As for putting on 19" wheels - in bone dry conditions they might improve traction and grip, but in the current weather conditions they would be worse than the standard tyres. Quote
Ozz Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Don't know about JDM cars but UK cars are on 18s and have 245s at the rear. Mine is JDM 05 and has these sizes (245 rear). Quote
cgomez1978 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 if its a JDM with 17's it should be 225's front and 235's rear as CS said Quote
bronzee Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 if its a JDM with 17's it should be 225's front and 235's rear as CS said + 1, you are correct. Quote
gazz350z Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 oh ok looks like im in the market for new tyres cheers for the advice Quote
cgomez1978 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Try camskill mate I think they are the cheapest around Quote

M350ZB Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 prob a stupid question but can i change the 225 rears for 245 and still use the same alloys,(there aftermarket wheels no idea what brand) cheers Get some pics up Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Mind you, if they are aftermarket wheels and the previous owner didn't pay attention to the wheel width difference between front and rear, you may well actually have 225's on the rear. Quote
