[@johnj3577]

Perfect video for me! I have an Infiniti M37S with 20x9 inch rims and now I understand why the OEM tires at 245 wide look stretched. Because a 9" rim is actually 10" wide overall. Standard tires are 245/40x20 so I'm gonna go up to 255/40x20. I want the shoulder vertical because to me 1. It looks better, 2. Offers more curbing protection to the rim and 3. Will give a marginally more comfortable ride due to the slightly taller sidewall.

Hey can a 285/35/19 fit on a 10 inch Sm-10 apex wheels e46m3 comfortable

[@PoloZ34]

I just spent too long doing the math myself haha I’ll drop numbers for a base 370z, stock total ride height of front wheel setup is approximately 26.8”, and rear stock is 26.7” with the rear tire sidewall being 4.34” and front tire sidewall 4.42”, now for aftermarket wheels I’m going with a width of 9.5 front and 10.5” rear (bead to bead) so technically add an inch to both. As far as tire size 255/40 front and 285/35 rear would bring your TOTAL wheel n tire height to 27.04” in the front and 26.85” in the rear. In terms of sidewalls the front is 4.02” instead of the 4.42” and rear is now 3.96” instead of 4.34” so it’ll still be a comfortable ride and won’t have any difference in mph or total ride height 🙂

[@PoloZ34]

the 9.5 inch front wheel is 266.7mm wide and a 255/40 tire would give you 11mm of stretch (5.5mm on each side) which is 4mm more than the stock rear wheel on the 370z base

[@fitmentindustriesgarage5583]

Whats the application? So, with the aspect ratio for both tires being 55%, the 215/55 is going to be both wider and taller by 0.4". This will equate to about 1mph difference at 65/70mph and may cause fitment issues, but probably not.

[@fitmentindustriesgarage5583]

Great question! You're going to want to do some research on forums to see what people are running, but why I typically do on a stock wheel is go up 1 size on width, and down one on aspect ratio. What this does is will give you a slightly wider tire for a more aggressive sidewall, and then going down on the aspect ratio should keep the overall diameter close to stock.

Is it “fine”? Probably. But you really shouldn’t. You’re lowering the diameter of everything, and it will increase the RPMs. Your speedometer will be off and you will increase wear of drivetrain components at highway speeds. Not to mention it may look goofy.

@@Jigxs you'll be okay with that. While it will change your speedo a little, it's barely noticable. A drastic diameter change like the other person mentioned isn't such a good idea on a street car without taking into account how it affects the transmission gear ratios. It was engineered that way for a reason, and understanding what you're doing and how it affects the car is very important. That said, up or down a very small amount isn't a problem.
