Re: Tire Size Question

If you don't have a wild offset, the answer is yes. The fronts might be a little tight.

Re: Tire Size Question

You can with good safe offsets. As for mine I'm running 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rears. I had to roll my fenders to fit these wheels..

Re: Tire Size Question

mine is 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 with Pirelli tires and my rims are 20x9 and 20x10 but i've noticed that if i try to make a left or right turn going around 30-40ish then my tires cant take it and my "slip" signal will come on . Before with my stocks i could take a turn with 40 easy. I thought if i get a really wide stand with the 285 in the back that the handling would be much better but nothing beats your stocks

My Nismo 18s, beat my stock 18s all to hell. I have 245/40s in front and 275/40s in the back. Fronts are 8.5" 25mm offset. Rears are 9.5" 30mm offset. I have Dunlop SP9000s on them. Before changing your wheels, you must do your home work. I love the look and the handling of the setup that I have.
