I'm running a 285/30/19 with tons of clearance, you should be fine.

You're not lowered, are you?

Also, what tire? Some are bigger than others for a given size.

Yes, running Hancook V12s in that size, stock Nismo, with no rub or concerns of rubbing.

=============
Sorry, I was mistaken on the size. I'm running 275s not 285s. I still think you'd be fine though. Seems like there is a guy here in Colorado running 295s without issue.

I'm running Hankook RS3 285/35/18 and it rubs like crazy. Got the fenders rolled. If you plan to lower the car, then YES a must roll.

Thanks guys. I don't plan on lowering it yet. So I think I'm gonna go with the Hankook V12's 285/35/19.

What are the specs on these wheels? I think he is asking about stock NISMO wheels.

How does that help the OP considering your wheels have a much more aggressive offset than stock nismo wheels?

OP - 285/35 will clear all day on your wheels, lowered or not, regardless if which brand tire you go with

Necrobumping, i know, but currently in this same situation. Not a large variety of tires available in the stock 265/35/19 size so discount tire is recommending i look at 275 and 285's. What are the pros/cons of running the wider tire? Any specific purpose for doing so besides tire selectioN?

It's mostly for looks. You would also get more contact with the road. I went with Potenza S-04 pole possitions in 285/35/19 with stock suspension on stock wheels and it clears with no issues. I've taken corners at high speeds and have had no rubbing issues. I kind of wish I would've bought 295s.

How does it affect tread/sidewall geometry? does it give it a weird shape to be so much wider than wheel?

It's actually NOT wider than the wheel. 265 have a stretched look and you can tell by this pic that you can go a little wider since the sidewall isn't "flat" and this pic is 285/35/19

Thanks! What is the actual wheel width? I always see them called out as 19x10 but even the stock 265 is wider than 10" (10.43").

just had a blonde moment... sorry about that. The tire will be wider than the wheel but I was talking about the inner part which will actually be tucked inside the wheel. So it won't look or fit weird.
