i just bought nismo a34 wheels (gunmetal)
19x8.5 front and back
what size tires should i go with for winter setup
i was thinkin about

225/40/19
245/40/19

what would be good?

It is actually not a good thing to have wide tires for winter. You want as narrow as possible.

The narrower the better. So the tires can cut through snow and you won't get stuck or slowed down.

I was going to buy those rims ... but wasn't sure if the offset would clear the front big brake kit (14" discs) on the sport model.

Go with the same tire size all around so you can rotate them (and want greater traction with thinner tires in the back) ...

thanks guys i will go with 225/40/19 for all of them. I dunno if these wheels offset would clear the front bbk too. kinda worried now.

I went with 18x8 Sport Edition F10 wrapped in 225/50R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25.

Does anyone know if you have a staggered winter set-up for instance 225/45/R18's and 245/45/R18's - do the 245's go on the back or the front?

segakuma

do you have sports pkg? those 18s clear the brakes?

PSYH

For staggered setups, wider is always in the rear.

I have sport package and I run the same winter setup; clears the brakes.

You should've went with 18's for a winter set up. There are many 18's that fit our sport models perfectly.

^^ I was kidding - I should have put a happy face beside my question...

NIGHTLFEphantom

My last post above was for the OP. It looks like he bought the 19" nismo's and didn't know that 18's would fit also.

segakuma

there were many 18s i liked but i didnt know it would fit coz not many ppl here seems to have aftermarket 18s with sports pkg.. damm..

Actually a lot of people do... mostly for the winter. If you check the Canadian section of the forums you would see a lot of 18 inch set ups.
