Default 255/285-35-19?

Hey guys,

I got my 19" Nismos (19x8.5 +25 & 19x9.5 +30) this week and I know the recommended tyre sizes are 245/275-35-19 which got me thinking...

Will running 255/285-35-19 give any problems with VDC/ESP or other type of problems? I have a (european) 2003 Track.

I'm interested in these tyre sizes because they will encrease the wheel diameter slightly (6mm front and 8mm rear) meaning the bottom of my car will be raised and at the same time the gap between wheel and fender becomes smaller.

My street has horrible speedbumps that i already scrape with stock suspension so every mm is welcome.

Thnx

^ +1 Both 245/275 and 255/285 maintain the proper stagger to keep VDC/TCS happy.

Actual speed 100.0 MPH.
Speedometer will read 99.35 MPH.
Well within limits of VDC.

Glad to see you got yourself a set of LMGT4's. I liked my setup with the 245/275.
