No, it's not fat enough. You are at least 20-30mm off, and those offsets are silly.

haha i'm a nowhere man i guess. my car doesn't belong in either thread. or i'm just doing it right with a little bit of each style? rears are actually 275's so it's slightly more fitting :P

the offsets are just as silly as running 295's that never see the track

Why did you say the rears were 265 first?

if you do have 275 then i think you belong here. Most of the cars here are the ones that don't belong, weak offset wheels with oversized tires with 2" fender gap

im going back to stretch myself once again, fat tires + super aggressive offsets dont really mesh well. My tires have been rubbing my rear bumper

I'd rather my big tires, big grip, and no rub then your rubber band tires that rub all over the place. Yeah, that's fun. You probably bottom out on your shocks as well, which always makes for predictable handling. Your 285/30/19 is also 1" shorter than stock, which makes your speedometer useless.

"Going back to stretch" - cool. Bye.

I'm looking to pushing it to the limits

18x9.5 +15 (18.6lbs) 15mm spacer 275/35R18 (25lbs) = 43.6lbs
19x10 +22 (21.3lbs) 25mm spacer 285/35R19 (29lbs) = 50.3lbs


^^^

I see it in my head

305 up front and 315 rear is not good for such a low powered car. Thats actually slowing you down. Only place thats good for is autox which only a handful do in this thread.

But yea no reason to argue again, i forgot this is the Maximum Performance thread. Might as well post some print outs of your times, i'd rather see that than all these wheel gaps and oversized tires

Happy to help any time. Without a lot of front camber and re-rolling the already-rolled front fenders, there is no way the 9.5 +0 will work with the 275. The 9.5 +15 with a 275 barely fits (with camber). Another 1/2"+ pushed out will require pinching the front fender roll even more, and probably 3.5-4^ of camber. Thankfully, you can buy/resell spacers, although you'll have to keep paying that silly shipping charge to the island. You can also start cheaply by buying a pair of 5mm slip-on shim spacers. Use one at first to see the clearance (or lack of!), then add the second one on the same wheel just for the fitment test. If all looks ok, then you can order the 15mm bolt-on spacer.

so you think with me being at 245/40R18 18x9 +5 I should just up the size of the tire?

it's not all about looks...I go!

The guy I got my NISMOs from ran a 265/40/18 up front. You could go 275/35 as well, though I doubt you'd be able to keep the 25mm spacer. You could change to the 18/19 RPF1 combo, I just don't think you can put the 15mm spacer on there to net a 18x9.5 +0 tire without some work.

Toby- I liked your 305's better .... Sux ur going back to stretch , but if it means anything, you did give me the confidence to throw spacers on my 305's

So my setup is now
20X10 +10 with 305-25
Too bad I f'k up and had my fenders shaved... Bc now I can't pull the stupid fender FML! Now I have to get a body shop to re-weld and all that bs
