those are sweet, welcome to the db club!

 

The choice of tire is fine. The rubber can hit on the fender and you don't want that. Nothing bad will happen.

 

Everytime I see the Volk SF Challenges in Diamond Black, I find them looking better and better with each pic, I cannot wait to get mine, if all goes well they should be here by the end of the week. Yippee!

 

I will be getting a new digital shipping scale so I will weight these guys out with and without tires. Stay tuned...

 

If you get a 265 on that rear, please dont do a Toyo as they seem to run kinda thin. Do a BFG like the KDW 2's they are some very wide tires for their size. My 285 looks WAY wider than the typical T1-S in 275 I see. Better yet, dont be lazy and do it right, meaning roll your fenders and put some damn rubber on that thing-285 minimum. Those wheels are hot Id hate to see them with stretched rubber on them. Im curious to see how 10.5" with +11 offset is going to turn out.

 

Man, I really dont think those wheels will fit. When I had my G35 I was going 9.5 +17 offset and 10.5 +19 offset and they were right up on the fender wall. I mean, they were right on it and no getting around it unless you give it serious camber or widebody. I can't see putting 10.5 +11 offset and 265 tire even with -3.0 camber surviving long. It will be almost riding on the sidewall and if it hits a pothole or major bump on the road, the lip will be bent...

 

+1 beat me to it!

I have +17 rears on a 10.5" rim and I need neg camber b/c of how far they are. Now you're talking +11, that is just insane..won't look right at all IMO. +17 10.5" is about as overly agressive you want to get with the Z.

your going to have to cut your fender...

My wheels are 18x10.5 +30mm with 295/35/18...

If you do a 19" with 275/30/19 you are going to be very close... If I put a 20mm spacer on my rear wheel it will be just about sticking out past the stock fender point where it bends in...

It will look awesome though once you cut the fender... Hopefully you do a better job then I did !

hah

 

This was the fitment I have been looking for, and I hope to pull it off as well as Gene did. Heck -- If I see that I can go wider in the rear and up front, I will get a new set of rears and put the rear up front! We shall see.

 

Hurry up need pics
I would had tires sittin in the garage waiting for them to arrive

 

265?? Some are running 265 on the stock 8.5" track wheels! I feel bad for the guy that has to mount those on a 11" rim!

 

The rear has a different face than the front, so they will not be able to exchange unless you get some spacers. Face A is for the front and Face B is for the rear on the G35 and 350Z. If you try to use Face B on the front, it will hit the brake caliper therefore you will need a spacer to do so.

 

265 is way to small... listen to the people on this board. we know what we are talking about and have seen and experienced tires sizes/wheel sizes! these are WAY too small...

 

Come on people. He damn well knows fender work is needed for these sizes/offsets. A stretched tire IS NEEDED so it will not rub. If he wanted wide rubber he would go with less agressive offsets and he knows this. The point was to get a extremely aggressive setup.

Let's not procrastinate and see what happens. As you can see Gene's car on the pic is running very similar offsets to what drumma022 will be running and it will look very similar. So much for knowing what people are talking about? Lets just see how it turns out. None of us know exactly how it will come along. He is a test rat for these sizes/offsets.

 

we have put 10 up front 11 in the rear on a Z33...

But not many 19's available in those sizes... we did 18's... Lips are bigger though... have a nother set on the way... when they come in ill post pic's if the customer lets me

 

I know about the 30 series profile is a bit small, but tires are not a big deal to me. We'll start small and work our way up. The tires are already here at our shop, sitting right next to the wheels. Just waiting on Nissan to figure out why the car is burning oil. Thank god I turned it in at 35K miles to check it out!

No offense Jason, after looking at your fenders, I may just borrow a fender roller from a friend instead of shaving.

zxsaint -we mounted 205/40/16 on a 9" wide wheel without the cheater on our tire machine. When cheater comes into play, I am sure we will not have much of a problem with the 265/30 on the 10.5" wheel.

RaySUR - these wheels are using both Type B offsets. Meaning I CAN fit the rear wheels up front. The point I was making before was to run the 265 tires up front, if there is enough room.

Zexy is right. I have been researching this fitment for the past 5 weeks. The tire choice was pretty much set on the basis that I will be going through tiers VERY fast until we can get the suspension alligned to our taste. Hence the reason for using $140 tires for the initial fitment.
