going to run 295/30/19 mpss on the rear

[buster]

lucky enough to have found two mpss 295/30/19 part worns yesturday with 6 mm thread on them for a crazy price.

plan to fit these on my 10.5 j rims for the rear to lose the stretched 265/35/19 .i ll be running 235/35/19s up front on 8.5 as i have fitted at present....i ve check to see if there are likely to be any issues with the t/c but cant find any listed.what you guys think.

Sounds fat

 

Needs a 245 up front to match the rear, 235 is a bit stretchy on a 8.5j

Speedo will be out by 2.7% which isn't major just an FYI

[Darren-B]

Looking forward to the pics Bob

 

When I changed my fronts from 245/35/19 to 245/40/19 the t/c flashed a few times on the M-way @ speed then sorted itself out. Guessing it recalibrated for the difference in wheel speed. It does it everytime I switch between the stock rays & Nismos now. But after the first mile it always drives fine.

didnt Shire run some and found them too gripy. Car kept bogging down

There's normally a 2.73% front to rear difference as stock, I run 3.21% with 0 problems with "stock" 19" sizes and with your new set up there will be a 2.01% difference. So, i'd say it would be ok

I have run 295/30/19 MPS on my zed from almost when I bought it and never had a TC issue.

Word of caution:

-Depending on your wheel ET, camber. or ride height it will rub!! So requiring arch rolling.

- for a DD that's too much tyres and will negatively impact acceleration even though grip will increase but its not needed.

- you will experience more tram lining.

- the car will be almost undrivable in winter.

-I did tell shire all this when he bought the 295 from me

- go with 275 and you have the optimum tyre for the zed as a DD.

 

Having FI is a different matter and more tyre is better for traction and you have the power to overcome it.

 

Out of interest how much did you get the tyres for? I have a network of guys I get very good deals myself for the last 5years as I exclusively use only Michelins.

Caroline runs 20's one size smaller than yours on the rears and one size larger on the fronts, no problem....285/30/20 and 245/35/20.

I'm after 2x 245 40 18 MPSS anyone know af anywhere doing them cheaper than £150 a corner?

295/30/19 s now fitted.......had some issues removing some D1 alloy wheels nut but more of that later.....we fitted 15mm spacers to the rear which have off set of 35 so = 20......no rubbing and thats on a lowered suspension set up(coilovers).pics to follow.

Only a 5 minute job to change them as well!!!!

[370Ad]

Fit just flush

 

Haha sounds like you had a similar problem to my wheel spacer saga....told my GF it would take an hour to swap over. 5 hours later she wasn't too happy...wooops!

[Paddy78]

They look phat Bob! How's the handling / traction?

[buster]

traction is awesome....cornering is wicked and fast.........not really getting too much tramlining thinking next time 305/30/19

Yer the wheel nut was fun NOT - see http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/75392-how-to-sort-a-broken-wheel-nut/

 

But these were taken when we finished -

love the drive it puts down.

[flamez]

has it affected acceleration?

[GT4 Zed]

Nice! Welcome to grip town

[HmmBen]

Looks spot on buster. Any rubbing at all?
