Default LE37T and tire size

for toyo t1r with le37t 19/9.5/+22 and 19/10.5/+22
What tire setup can I go with? I am thinking...

you should be fine with the fronts either way. 285 has a good chance of fitting depending on your camber and how low you are.

I guess camber is factory standard.
I am lowered with NISMO suspensions.

No problems with rubbing or clearance

Thx for the pics, how does 255/f feel? Is it heavier to turn the wheel? How about turn the wheel when the car is not moving?

I like the 255's...it offers a fuller look and plus the turn in is sponsive and not heavy. I have no issues with it when turning the wheel at a standstill or while moving.

I have 245/40/19 in front and 285/35/19 in the rear with my LE37's.. Falken's

I have TCS but no VDC and have no problems there... Speedo does not appear to be off. If it is off, it's off by very little (verified with GPS).. Rear fender was rolled..

I know for 275 rear you don't have to roll the fender. Can you get away with rolling if it's 285 (nismo suspension)?

Also, is it true that LE37T can use the factory tps? Mount it as how the factory ones mount?

hard to tell because so many variables determine if you rub or not.. my car was lowered ~1" with Cusco Zero-2's and my camber is corrected to factory specs with camber arms ... it rubbed a little

agreed...too many variables....285 between diff brands are different physical widths...as forementioned, alignment does as well.... I have seen 285s dont on 10.5s....but either they were rolled fenders or were different wheels with different offsets.

if you do want to go 285 and it rubs, it wont be the end of the world though..a good fender roll/cut and you will be fine

yes, LE37T (TE37) and LE28N (CE28N) can.

Or since your buying light weight rims, get a 8.5 front and 9.5 or 10 rear to get the lightest rim for your money. Largest tire you can probably fit on a Z is a 315 or most likely a 305. A 10.5 can easily go 315 maybe 325. A 9.5 can do a 305 with a lil buldge but if you had a 10 a 305 would be perfect for that tire. So there is no need to go that wide of a wheel unless you plan on maxing out the tire. Otherwise you just adding more weight to your "LightWeight" wheels. If you don't care about weight then this doesn't apply.

I also have 255/35 & 275/35 on my LE37T's, and I think they're the perfect size if you don't want to roll your rear fender. I was originally going to do a 245/35 in the front, but I changed my mind after realizes just how stretched they were.

285's on a 10.5" wheel with a 22 offset will rub without rolling. Not every 285 is the same width, but I rubbed with 275's on this size wheel, so you can bet you will have to roll the fenders to clear the 285's.
