Tried the 275s
 

I ran the Maxima at an event today. I ran my 17x9s with 275/40 Kumho 710s, there was no rubbing. The car felt good thru 90% of the course, the final element was so tight the power steering could not keep up. I have a feeling the huge tires did not help the P/S issue. I was almost 1 second slower than the winning DSP Miata. Now I remember why I race my Z vs the Maxima...lol

You would think this would rub

I'm very surprised there was no rubbing.

Wow. 275's on a Maxima? With NO rubbing? :eek:

looks nice on the track.

:sprint: Didn't think that was possible! I know irish ran 17x8 with 245/XX Hankooks. That's quite impressive! :cool:

those are the RPF1's right? offset?? any recent pics with them on???

275s are overkill IMO.

The RPF1s are staggered, I was running my old Halibrands (in sig) 17x9 +34

Here is video shot in a AE86 Corolla, you can see how tight the finish was

:cool: as do i.

wow@275..

yeah, now he's got me thinking of going to 265 or 275 daily...

:hide:

I'll try these next... 17x10s with 275s.

I think you could run 275s all around on a 4th gen with the right offsets. I'll test fit my 17x9.5 +38 RPF1 one day on the front to see what it looks like (Haven't test fitted it before due to the needing a spacer with the Z32 calipers. I don't have the Z32 brakes on at the moment so I'll try it one day)

I'm pretty sure the 9.5 +38 rpf1s would fit. tightly, but they should.
it would be 9mm less inner clearance than a 9inch +35 (what i run), and id like to think I have 15+mm to spare. i think :noes:

Your nuts my friend! Big tires for life :D

GTFO!! I need all the rubber I can get up front. Let me know how they work out!

You're both insane... :grinno:

Good to know... I found a good deal on some rims that are 9.5" wide, +30mm. That would be cutting it kinda close I guess. Haha.

As chance would have it, a racer is getting new race wheels for his Z and has offered up his 18X10 RPF1's in a +35 off set. I'm going to test fit them this week with some 275s:hide:

being only a second slower ain't too bad in a grocery getter in my book

Definately stay with the 17x10. The 9's aren't quite wide enough to support - surprised you didn't notice any squrim or similar on them. I test fitted V710 265/45/16's a while back and got lots of fender rub. I went back to 245's since I only lost .4 of sec width and got better steering response back.
