Mikeyfinn Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hey guys,I'm in need of help of choosing the right tyre for my setup on my 2007 350z,looking to stretch the tyres but not after crazy stretch if I can avoid it. The car will be sitting on bc coilovers true style,driftwork rear camber arms,set up on wheels will be jr20 9.5x19 fronts & 11x19 rears,I want to go low on the car but need clearance,arches we'll be rolled next week while waiting for goodies to be delivered or will they need to be rolled and pulled. The issue is,do I run 225/35/19 fronts & 255/35/19 rears or 235/35/19 fronts & 265/35/19 rears or even 265/30/19 rears,but was recommend to stay same profiles all round in the 350z. It be great to get as much input on this and to see pics of these setups as well,tyre stretch tyres close up of the front and rear wheels,don't want to be buying tyres and there to big and have to change them. Once the back wheels are in then be ready to put some rubber on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 You're going so far out of spec, profiles are irrelevant at this point. I also don't see any benefit in putting narrower tyres than stock on the front, unless you love understeer. 245 minimum, if you want the stretch then go for wider wheels and wide arches. Although tbh this isn't my 'scene' at all, so I'll let someone else give you the exacting details on what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Also I’ve been told that overly stretched tyres will be an MOT fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I keep it simple.For me overstretching the tyres is not a safe practice and although I could have done this with my wide arches and even wider wheels but to fall into the unsafe category is not worth it. we spend so much money on our Zeds just to end up in a ditch because we want the 'looks' it just doesn't cut it for me.It is a bit like lowering a car too much.If you go with air suspension then fantastic but when you drive with it scraping at every bump and ending up changing your exhaust once a year is just crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Check out Rimtuck if you havent already, hundreds of pics of zeds with wheel and tyre widths stated. http://rimtuck.com/search/thumbnails&make=Nissan&model=350Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) keeping same profile is bollocks a 225/45/18 and a 265/45/18 won't work its the rolling radius ratio thats important Do you just want stretch tyres because your scared if they will fit or you want internet points? whats your offsets? as I ran 245/35/19 9.5j et20 275/35/19 10.5j et20 years back slammed no issues Just for refference although 18s the maths still works these are 255/40/18 9.5 et15 275/40/18 10.5 et 15 so a reasonable tyre will fit with a 9.5 Edited October 1, 2017 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyfinn Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I personally want the clearance if it all when I lower it,nothing worse then hearing it rubbing and grinding. I know the arches are big on the 350z,but so is a 11j wheel as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
