Smile question?

hi guyz, i was wondering if 295/35/18 would fit on the nismo lmgt4's in the rear, i believe the size is 18x9.5 and if it does fit, would it rub on the sides?
any info would be helpful, i guess even with the after market camber and toe, the z still gets uneven tire wear... grrr...

technically it can stay on there but it won't be ideal.

A lot of factors can make you have uneven tire wear. Did you get an alignment yet?

as for alignment, i try to do it every 10k miles, since i have the lifetime alignment at Firestone. as for my problem, i noticed that the tire was low on air and thought it was due to weather, but i actually had a hole in the tire, and due to driving with no air in the tire, i ruined the tire, and now i need to find a pair of tires for the rear or just 1x 275/40/18 , cuz im driving with a donut.. hehe, i saw some usedtires for sale locally, so i was just wondering if it fit.. i hope its still for sale.. if not, im going to be driving on the donut for a couple of weeks, hopefully...

also, it rubbing on the sides would depend on how low you are.

I had 275/35/19 on some 10.5 and they were just a tad bit stretched. so 295 on some 9.5 i would think is a bit too much tire.

Nope, never rubbed and it was with a 26 offset. It was pretty much flushed. Lowered of course.

btw, a huge amount of people on this site run 10.5 in the rear as well.
