Default Nitto Motivo on 350z NISMO fitment (All Season tires)

Hey guys! I have been doing a lot of research on the fitment, but can't find the answer. I have a question

On the stock 350z Nismo, the stock tire sizes are the following:
Front: 245/40 18
Rear: 265/35 19

I am trying to buy the Nitto Motivo tires with the following tire size
Front: 255/40 18
Back: 275/35 19

I called different tire companies and they said that the front would fit but the back rear tires "275/35/ 19" might not fit, because the 350z Nismo isn't on their fitment list. And they do not have the stock sizes for a 350z Nismo. I want all season tires and Nitto Motivo is probably the best with an affordable price.

Please help... I want to know if the rear tire size 275/35 19 Nitto Motivo would fit on my 350z Nismo Thanks...

I also bought the Nismo suspension for my 350z nismo, which will lower the car 0.6 inches (20mm). Do you guys think these size tires would rub?

do a search, I think another guy with a red Nismo mounted this size on his stock Nismo rims.

I think he had photos too.

Let us know if they fit, I was thinking of going to the same sizes when my tires run bald!

Why would you think they would not fit?

I would actually go 255-40-18 front and 285-35-19 rear, click here on the Top FAQ for commonly run sizes:

You can run 15 to 20mm spacers front and rear with those tires and they still will not rub. Very good combo and still keeps the stock width stagger and will not start to screw up the handling unlike unlike another combo mentioned.

I am also installing the S-Tune Suspension on my Nismo350z (even though the s-tune states that it doesnt work on VDC cars, and the Nismo has VDC, but people states that it still works). This will lower the 350z Nismo to 0.6 inch (or 20mm).

Once I install the S-Tune Suspension and these Nitto Motivo tires, do you guys think it would work without rubbing??

Also, people that have the S-Tune suspension with their 350z Nismo, does it actually fit? (I want to be sure it fits)

It will fit fine, but i will mention that the OEM Nismo suspension is better.

I'm not sure if the S-tune suspension will actually lower the Nismo 350z. I know it lowers the regular 350z by 20mm.. Do you think this is the same for the Nismo?

It will drop the Nismo 20mm from when the height of the standard 350Z is. I don't know how much lower the Nismo sits normally. BTW 0.6 inch is much closer to 15mm

Would I need a camper kit when I install the S-tune nismo suspension?
