say no to swampers gee!!! stay away from swamper brand tires too! 4x4 does not = G35

if u insist on running 35's in the rear because of the minimal drop, run 265/35 instead. no one likes covered labia right? !!

kthxbye!

275/30/19 is too small of a tire for the coupe, why would you recommend those? Run it through a tire calculator, and even a 275/35/19 is still slightly smaller than the stock 245/40/19.

whoa. nice rims. getting crazy with this car stuff huh.

i agree with redlude thou. i think what you need to run is 255/35 front and 285/35 in the back. 245/275 gives it the retarded stretched look. you dont want that. since you are going to drop it, you are going to have to cut/roll your fenders thou. small price to pay for the correct aggressive set up.

you probably want to go with a bigger drop too. i dont think you will like the look with a sub 1 inch drop. again, small price to pay.

i am running 275/30/19 in the rear and have no probs. I believe there are alot of people running that setup even if they are very low profile.

2nd on the 255's for the front. that's what rick at status suggested to me and they help smooth out the ride somewhat. I'd also go with the 350z Stechs rather than Htechs to get more of a drop- nice purchase!

The question isn't wether you would have problems or not, its why would you run something that changes the stock diameter of the wheels when there are plenty of options that more closely match the stock diameter of the stock size? By running shorter tires, you are affecting your gearing, making it shorter in every gear essentially and throwing off your speedometer

It's not just that I have a friend who ran a 30 series tire in the back along w/ rim damage from pot holes etc he also had an issue w/ the VDC going crazy. He would also mention that his back end gets loose real easy, once he went to a 35 series that all but ended...
