Hi Guys, After a few years away I've returned to a 350z. I owned an Touring model back in 2004-6 and this time went with a track model as it will mainly be for track use. Car came with Ohlins coilovers, Camber arms, Swaybars, nismo exhaust, and 19" Axis wheels. I've done a few searches but really looking for some advice on track Tire sizes to go with. I'm thinking of Enkei RPF1's in 18x 9.5 +15 in front and 18x10.5 +15 in rear. Do you guys have any recommendations on the best tire sizes to go with? Car is pretty low so I don't want any scrapping or rubbing to be an issue. Any advice is greatly appreciated. LOOKING FORWARD TO ENJOYING THE Z AGAIN!
Thanks!

Welcome back to the z game. 265/35 and 285/35 would work and look great on those RPF1s

I also want to go with 18" RPF1s and right now I have 06+ wheels (iirc). I dont want to purchase new tires so can I go with 265 in my rears right now, then swap those over to the 10" wide RPF1s?

Thanks Bmurray!

The set up you want for the RPF1s is what I have on my 07 HR Z and the tires that came on my Z when I bought it were 265/35 in front and 295/30 in the rear it was set up for autocross with Tien coilovers so I know thats a good tire size for no rubbing. Yokohama Nuevos are great tires for the RPF1s and they handle great but about $600 for 2 tires. The stance is sick too.

265/35 doesn't fit 10.5 inch wide RPF1s very well the lip sticks out like some Option 2 JDM style and its very easy to get the lip scratched since the tire isn't covering it.

That's what I have on my '07 and +15 is a great fitment; no issues here and I really like that setup!

Thanks for the advice guys! The tire calculator shows the rear 285/35/18 as being a little over 3% off stock sizing. Is that a problem at all?
Thanks!
