If they work let me know, if I keep my Z I'd be interested in throwing these on too! In for pics as well...

Little modification. RE-11's don't come in 265/30/19's so I'm looking at a 255/35/19 vs. a 275/30/19 in the front. The 275/30/19 is closest in diameter to stock, but will it fit?

What wheels are you running? There was someone on here who ran stock 19" rear wheels/tires on the front but I believe they needed spacers.

Volk GT-V's 19x9.5+30 in the front, 19x10.5+24 in the rear
I just test fitted at 275/30/19 Pirrelli P-Zero Nero that I had on a 19x9.5+22 wheel with no problems. I think it will work. I hope the RE-11's sidewall isn't too different.

In case anyone was wondering, they fit.
They don't look too much wider mounted from the rear in the picture, but here's a comparison to a 275.

It's close, but no rubbage that I've noticed so far.

Default What tires are you running on your NISMO?

Just wondering what u guys are running. I currently have the stock Potenza RE-050's and I'm looking to replace them. Should I stick with those or go with RE_11's? I was also looking at Michellin Pilot Super Sport and the Yokohoma Advan Neova AD08's.

Minimal differences until you are tracking your Nismo?

I haven't tracked it yet but plan on it in the future. I do like to go through the mountains from time to time though

You really can't go wrong with any of them and for the most part track time on street tires is only that, real performance comes with slicks. Overall, the Nismo is a great handling car, most will be able to have a great time and good performance regardless of street tire used.

Any will do:
RE11
AD08
S-04
Michelin Super Sport

Hankook RS3 will also work well for you.

If you want to track get RS3. Also if you are in the bayarea you should come to Thunderhill

That would fit easily. You could go even wider. I know several people on here have.

Where do you live, San Jose I'm guessing?
There's always Laguna Seca and buttonwillow too.
