Toyo R888's on stock 350Z wheels
 

I'm sure this has been discussed here before, so if it has I'm sorry. I searched the forums, the Internet, etc.

Stock 2007 Nismo wheels are
Front 245/40-18
Rear 265/35-19

I can't find exact match R888's, and I know nothing about wheel size and fitment. Is there another size R888 that would fit on my stock wheels with no problems?

Thank you for the help!

265/35/18 front
295/30/19 rear

Is there anything I should know about using a wider tire? And issues or other things I need to do to make it work?

advanz33 nailed it.

only thing different is you will have more lateral grip, lose a few MPG's.

Why do you want Toyo R888 tires? With question like above questions me why you want a R-Compound tire.

R888's have a very limited lifespan if used for street use, as well as a narrow temperature range.... are you sure these are the right tires for you..

back up a step, and ask what tires to run before you worry about size.....robert nailed it..

It says he's a "Know It All." :dunno:

I thought that was a default title for all you PM members...I've seen it quite a bit.

"Know it all" is default. If it isn't, I sure didn't put it there. Hah

Lets just say I've got some plans for this car - but I don't know much about what I am doing yet. Thus I am trying to learn. Thank you guys for the info!

Do you have plenty of track experience , if not , stick to normal street tires while learning.

I do not, but I was hoping to get some.

:+1: Learned while the car is hard to control, than work up to sticky tires.

Makes sense to me. What brand street tires would you suggest? Price isn't an issue for the most part and I would prefer something grippy.

Edit: thoughts on Yokohama Advan AD08?

AD08 are another DOT R-Compound. I really liked the BFGoodrich KDW tires.

Hankook RS3, but i suggest something like a Hankook V12 for your first few trackdays and work up to an RS3.

AD08 is a 180TW street tire.

OP - you can either start off on something like nitto invo, hankook V12, etc

Or star spec, rs3 etc. my first track day was on RS3s.

I run Goodyear Eagle RS-A all season tires.....it forces you to learn car control and be a better driver.

Surprised no one has recommended Bridgestone RE11s

Because RE11 are more expensive and slower then RS3
