Default 2008 nismo ray wheels/tires question?

stock rear comes at 265/35

How far can I go without looking ugly? 285/35? or 295?


PS. Not lowering the car.

But will they pop out on the nismo 2008 rays. Will they go outside the fender? I am looking to see if any nismo owners has done this.

Nismo Rays have the same offsett and size as the GT Rays. I have 285 on mine and they push the setup almost to the very edge of the wheel well. I wouldn't go with 295 mostly because the additional sidewall flex wouldn't be to my liking. And I wouldn't want to risk rubbing around hard corners. But no, they will NOT sit outside the fender; if they did, they wouldn't fit on the wheels! You will be able to fit them with a rolled fender and maybe even without, but the two reasons I mentioned above are why that wouldn't be ideal.

Whats the biggest the front will swallow?

Can you get away with a 265 (should fit the wheel) front and 275 rear without the front looking too big for the wheel and the rear too small?

Then you're obviously useless

J/K bro. I'm just dreaming now anyway, don't need new tires for a while, and after my last tire shop experience I don't want tires for a while
