Default 305 tires on stock Nismo 350z wheels?

The rear wheels are 19x10. Has anybody used 305 width tires on these wheels? How did it work out? Thanks!

That is the most worthless thread ever lol - just a bunch of people who are confused about aspect ratios.

So why ask if you are an expert on aspect ratio.

I put some RE050's in that size on the stock wheels and it looked too wide for the wheel. I ended up not using them because there was some damage to one of the tires, I've since used several sets of 285's and it looks much more correct.

I understand how aspect ratios work, I just wanted feedback from people who have done the 305's and what their experiences were.

Thanks! This is the kind of feedback I'm looking for! I currently have Potenza RE760 Sports in back, size 275/35/19. They look slightly stretched on the wheel. I've seen 295's on the back of the stock Nismo rims and that looks really nice as well, but haven't seen 305. Sounds like 295 might be the max, but do you have any pics of how it looked with 305's?

275 is too narrow, why did you go with that size?

I tried to find a photo of 305's but no dice, if you have seen 295's it will look basically the same...

Stock tires on a Nismo are 265's, and the JDM Nismo's were 275 so I'm right on point with those. But still they look slightly stretched.
