I'll be joining the club soon! Getting a set of 07-08 Nismo rims soon and have a couple questions. Fronts won't as aggressive, he's throwing a set of 245/40/18 with the front rims, my main concern are the rears. I want to mount 305/30/19 on the rears, stock is 35 series but the tire calculators are recommending me to go 30 series to make up for the tallness. I am on stock height, OEM suspension, fenders aren't rolled nor pulled. My question is will I run into any fitment issues with this set up? Will I need spacers or roll the fenders or will it fit just right?

The reason I'm buying the Nismos is because the seller is giving me a great deal on them with 2 free front tires, plus I like the design on them and the GT rims. Just want a wider set up for now. Fronts will be going wider once it wears out, prolly 275/40/18 or possibly 285s. So 305 is far too wide for this thread and the rim itself is what you're saying? Would 295s be better choice? I want to go the widest possible with no fitment issues, and she is going to be lowered soon in the future.

You definately are getting a great deal! But people are right 285 is the farthest I go on that rear wheel. We ran a 275/35 nitto nt555 which run wide and the tire looked pretty fat.

I have close to the same sizes, I found 255/35 fronts to make the VDC happy though with a 305/30/19... Steering is a tad sloppier than stock sizes, I got used to it though.

I ran 255/30/20 f and 295/25/21 r fine
Then 255/30/20 f and 305/25/20
My ghetto math says same but 35 series on 19s work.
I didnt think it drove as well as the 295s as it does w the 305s, so im with ak48z on driveability. But its All about your needs. I need traction. Lol
