Need some help picking tires for new set up.
Currently running:
19x9.5 +22 255/35
19x10.5+22 285/35
Lowered with Greddy coilovers less than a finger gap in the rear with a minor fender roll, spl rear camber arms, spc toe bolts, spl toe arms and spc front camber arms.
My new set up will be:
19x9.5+22
19x11+15
What tires should I run next? I plan to stick with 255/35 front or go wider?. Will 285/35 be safe to run in the rear or will need some more negative camber or roll the fender more? At the moment I found out there is some bondo on 1 quarter panel but I do plan to get body work done soon but need to take care of a few other things... Can I go larger tires without out rolling the fender more? More negative camber?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Eric

You could go 275/30 and 295/30 without any problems. I'm running a 18x11 +30 with 295/35 in the rear and I have lots of room I know I could get a 15mm spacer in easy. Your front wheel is very common and I've seen 275/30's on the same offset. Since you have all adjustable suspension you shouldnt have anything to worry about.
should I be leaving the vdc off since the diameter will be off?

You might need to roll them a bit more or run a little more camber. VDC should be good, I don't have VDC though so I'm not really an expert on that. I'm sure someone will chime in on that.

Thanks guys!
The rear doesn't look as aggressive because it isn't as low as the front, but it is. Regarding the rear bumper- it's definitely wild and quite a controversial piece on here. Some days I think about changing it for an OEM + TS diffuser, but this is a Nismo and the rear bumper is a signature piece.

Picture from previous owner, same wheels/ no bodykit now.

Ok cool I'll look into the 265/30 for the fronts. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply! What size wheels were you running on the rears and did you have to roll the fender?
Also I would like to know what kind of tires are you guys are using. I'm planning to pick up bfgoodridge kdw2 tires. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

10.5 +22 rear and I had rolled the rear previously, but not necessarily because of that setup, so Im not sure if its absolutely required. I had no issues with mine. Rear tire was pirelli Pzero which fit PERFECT, no bluge just a square fit. Brands make a huge difference if youre picky.
Front was falken whech blew...to skinny and stretched in comparison.
I had the kdw2 on stock wheels and loved them. Excellent grip in wet or dry. Only downside was the noise, nearly deafening when coming to a stop. Some say its alignment but mine was good, others would agree theyre freakin loud. Tire rack has em worst in noise rating... I havent looked recently but I didnt know they made 30 profile KDWs?

Ah ok yea I had to roll a bit on my fenders but 1 side I have some bondo on there so I couldn't roll too much. I guess I'll just roll it more till I get body work done. Wow didn't think kdw are that noisy... What other tire would you suggest? I have hankook v12 Evo and hate them
Just looking at tire selection for 265/35/19, 285/35/19:
-Bridgestone potenza s-04 pole position (280 tread)
-Bridgestone potenza re-11 (180 tread)
-continental extreme contact dw (340 tread)
-Yokohama advan sport (180 tread)
Also 265/35/19, 295/30/19
-Bridgestone potenza s-04 pole position
Anyone experienced the Bridgestone potenza s-04 pole position or continental extreme contact dw? Thanks!

265/30 is 2.78% smaller than stock with overall diameter of 25.25".
295/30 is 2.7% , 25.96" diameter, smaller than stock rears 245/45/18 overall diameter of 26.68"
So you are saying if you run smaller rear diameter tire, stay smaller front diameter in the front as well so the traction control won't kick in?

sweet. thanks for the help! now time to pick up some tires....I'm going to go with 265/35/19, 285/35/19. I hope the 285/35 will be ok for the 19x11 wheels.
Out of these 4...what would you recommend? I would like something with more tread life and have better traction than the hankook v12 evo. Only the 1st 2 offers >280 tread.
-Bridgestone potenza s-04 pole position (280 tread)**
-continental extreme contact dw (340 tread) **
-Bridgestone potenza re-11 (180 tread)
-Yokohama advan sport (180 tread)
thanks again!
