They will go on but tyre size will be crucial especially if lowered
Imagine standard 108s or MV2s with 33mm spacers behind

or as pic below imagine the rear style 224s with 10mm spacers behind which on a non M are already pretty much on the limit

What sizes are the fronts ?

Cheers Mr Wilks, they are on 265/30 rubber, the fronts are 8.5 et 35 with 235 35 rubber

I had a look on willtheyfit but seeing as im a spanner when it comes to numbers it may as well be
written in german for me to understand it all,

I might just have to fit them on and go for a hoon down a bumpy road and see if there is any
rubbing anywhere

Yes mate and will get to see what they look like on the Z as well, and seeing as they are a mates he wont mind
too much if there is some rubbing marks in the tyres

Depends what you mean by 'they will fit'.

They fit as in they bolt up and turn but you will get some horrible rubbing at speed and on bumpy roads.

My rear camber is at -2.5 degrees and on 265/30/19 rubber, my 19x10 ET 35's hit the plastic rear arch liner when doing above 70mph and also down bumpy country lanes.

I swapped to 255/30/19 and had no issues after that.

Thought I'd mention my car is lowered on eibachs. Fronts also rubbed, so had to swap to 225/35 tyres.

i mean they will fit and car still be driveable in any conditions .19x10 et35 is nowhere near the limits .

Cheers for the info Ben, Mines not lowered do you think that would make any difference with it rubbing or not
and when you put the 255's on was there loads of stretch in the tyres?

Thats definitely not the look I want plus I couldn't have wheels like that as I don't smoke Panama's

This was the 255/30's on the 10's. Not much stretch really.

andy.c · Post by **andy.c** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 9:22 pm

Cheers for the pic Ben

I thought the 10's might stick out further than that and yes the tyres look alright they aren't stretched
too much

I have 10x19 ET41 with Michelin PSS 265/30 tires. Works very well. Tried once 3mm spacers. Rubbed a little on the outer side.
Going for 275/30 Michelin PS4S next time without the spacers of course. Dont like the stretch.
