Beau Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hi Guys. Need some help! I am thinking of running 275 35 19 on the front.... Will this work without any problems? I dont want it to touch the inner arch! What are other people running? Thanks, Beau Quote

JetSet Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 275 definitely too big. I think someone here runs 255 but 245 is ideal Pete Quote
HaydnH Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 haha Ok, What about 265's? I think the info above says 245's are ideal... possibly 255's... Quote
Neilp Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 you do realise the consequences of changing the tyre size so large on the car. You will seriously upset the balance and handling of the car. Nissan recommend 245/35/19 as thats what comes on the nismo lmgt4's when ordered. Quote
RisingPower Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Some yanks have done 275+ at the front, still seems like a silly thing to do though: http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tire ... und-2.html Quote

Blacky Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hi Guys. Need some help! I am thinking of running 275 35 19 on the front.... Will this work without any problems? I dont want it to touch the inner arch! What are other people running? Thanks, Beau There are plenty of people that have 275 or wider fronts without issues. All depends on your choice of offset,tyre make and what camber you have. Why not pop over to my350z.com and check out the aggresive wheel threads. Quote

Neilp Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Just out of interest what width are the rims front and back and what size size tyres are you fitting to the rear? If the stagger I'm width isn't similar to standard then you will upset the balance of the car ridiculously. But if your all about show and no go then maybe you'll get on ok with it. Quote

You would also need something like 305's on the back to keep the TC happy. That Yank car has been seriously lowered too and would be a complete non starter for everyday driving here in the U.K unless you never left the Motorway (or your garage) . Pete Quote
Ekona Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I just want to know why you'd want to run such large tyres at the front, and what you're planning on running on the rear? Quote

Pete They probably drive like utter crap, even 255's seem to make the steering a bit heavy. But then again, they're not modified to handle/go better, they're modified to look better (in certain opinions). I'm not saying it's a good idea to do it though, but I bet you could. Quote

Beau Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Well firstly the front width size are 9.5J and with a offset of 35. I am also going to stick 20mm spacers all round. The plan is to run 265 35 19 in front and 285 35 19 rear... I dont see much of a problem doing this. Also I dont like running too much of a small rim on such wide wheels are the wheel pops out too much.... Also susceptible to curbing ect.... Just my Opinion! Quote
Neilp Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 My 275's on a rear 9.5 drowns the wheel Edit: I don't know what offset the lmgt4's are but i couldn't even space 5mm without interference with the arch. Quote

If you mean 285 at the rear, 285 is pretty fat on 10.5", I really wouldn't on a 9.5" rim. Though 255 is ever so slightly stretched on 9.5. 265 would be better for protection, but i'd still run 255 personally. Another thing to note, 285/35/19 is pretty much guaranteed to rub at the rear.

Guaranteed to rub at the back! I dont want that... You sure? I wont be lowering it at all and Im making sure that it sits inside the arch and not on the edge.... Quote

Yes, mine rubbed at stock height on 285's at the rear, had the arches rolled. 275 would be pretty much perfect. Quote
