Max wheel/tire width - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey all,
Planning on a S13 build dedicated for open road track. What are the width wheels/tires you have had success with or would recommend? I'm planning on widening the fenders. Looks aren't really any concern to me, just looking for the best performance.
Thanks!

I’ve run 235.45.17’s front and 255.40.17’s for years on my s14 with much happiness. I’ve just gone to 18’s on work rims, with 235’s front and 265 rear - yet to see as the car is in Reston at the moment.

It is possible to have too much rubber though...

Picking wheels is hard, offsets and all lols, in Australia we can’t legally use spacers, which makes it harder to find the right combos...
