Willsy1980 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) As title says really, the Nismo is in need of new rubber. Finding anything in the current 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 is proving somewhat of a challenge unless its MPS4 on the front and MPSS or MP4S on the rear. Im not a fan of mixing tyres front to rear even though similar. So is the following config acceptable ? and hows the price look ?

ShortPaul Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Looks a good price, i went got mine Costco, sometimes they are also doing those tyres at a good price😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I think 265 works on the front as well. I'm running them with a 305 on the rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Schwier Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 A lot of us upped tyres sizes on front and rear and seems to work really well, see here https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/116828-370z-nismo-2016-with-nismo-v1-wheels-tyre-options/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I got a new set back in March from Blackcircles. After a few emails back and forth to VIP Trade Sales <viptradesales@blackcircles.com>. got a full set installed by mobile fitter for £700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy1980 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Well, they are on. 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 All in, £1100 If its dry this weekend i'll go get them scrubbed in and clean her up a little. Gotta say, with the spacers in addition to the extra rubber, the arches are certainly filled out.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while wet, a bit of right foot lights the rears up in a straight line in 2nd. As a side on this, what pressures are you guys running in the wider spec ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Is Ekona okay? He hasn't commented on this and tyres are usually his preferred topic. Well that and man bags 😝 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Dan's an MPS4S man through and through so will approve I'm sure. The width and aspect ratio are just maths which can be confirmed here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy1980 Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Ok, need to update this with a warning to V2 Nismo owners. Do not fit the 305 rears if you have spacers, 15mm spacers and the 305's rub under compression. Gonna need to remove the spacers from mine. Fronts on 265 are absolutely fine.

reeceybeaney Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 My V1 is lowered with 15mm spacers on the rear and I can't even get a finger between the tyre and arch so no chance in upping from 285 rears! Oh the struggles of these tyres sizes and I don't want Bridgestone Potenzas🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
