will 18x9.5 inch LMGT4's fit front and rear with 265/35 or 265/40? I have no TCS of VDC (base coupe) so removing the stagger wont screw it up, im just looking for maximum traction with minimum weight. plus rotating will save me some $$ later on. . thx in advance.

 

It shouldn't be a problem. I'm running 255/35/19 on the street and 265/35/18 for autocrossing and have no clearance problems. I've seen where people run 275 and 285 tires up front in autocrossing too.

 

This is a comparison between the OEM front wheel and the one that you are considering. What do you think of the inner clearance?

 

are the nismos 25MM offset?

 

You'll be fine on clearance since others run this same combo with stock and aftermarket suspension. However, something no-one seems to really mention is that high-speed stability (80mph+) can be negatively affected.

 

how would it be negatively affected with more grip up front?

 

Yes. Reference: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...ode=4030S-18SR

 

Oversteer can make the car feel unstable at high speeds. SCC just changed the tires back to a staggered fitment on their famed 1G 350Z project car because of this.

 

stiffer rear sway would fix that problem wouldnt it? and with a 25mm offset will 275/35's fit up front?

 

Not to got to off topic here but I plan on writing into them to ask the same question. I know they are running adjustable Hotchkis sways so why couldn't they have just made an adjustment there to dial out some understeer?

 

yeah, for real. But, does anyone know FOR SURE that no matter HOW hard you corner, 275/35's will NOT bottom out on the suspension or the fender up FRONT?

 

Maybe they've already adjusted the hotchkis rear sway?
