I have 19" wheel setup on my car
I have chosen Work Emotion wheels because those were the only ones that I could fit my Alcon Super BBK Brakes

I initially bought the wheels to use them on the track but I like how they look and I would like to use them on the street too
I am thinking of going with Nitto NT555RII because where I am, the roads are low quality, making the car lose traction at high boost (I have HKS GT1000 Turbo Kit on the car)

Nitto NT555RII has the following sizes for 19" Wheels:
275/40R19 101W
305/35R19 106W XL

I checked on the tire diameter calculator and they are off by %1.1
Diameter is 27.7" for front and 27.4" for the rear

What are your thoughts on this size?
Anyone using these tires on their GTR?

Should be OK if your wheels are the right widths and (ride height) suspension is OEM.

Nitto NT555RII is a drag radial tire with treadwear 100

275/40R19 fits wheels 9-11" wide, perfect for 9.5" wide rim, standard load rated, tire diam. 27.7"
305/35R19 fits wheels 10-12" wide, perfect for 11" wide rim, XL load rated (stiffer sidewall), tire diam. 27.4"

In this picture, I have 265/35R19 and 305/30R19 and does not look too bad. I just need a small spacer in the rear. So tire sizes are pretty much same width with just more sidewall which will close the gap between the front tire and the fender.

As you can see in the picture, I need to keep the car a little higher than it is supposed to because the front bumper is just too low and it is dry carbon and I don't want to damage it.


With more profile on the front, I guess it will give me some height so I can lower the suspension a little and the gap between the top of the tire and the fender will be less

So %1.1 difference between front and rear will not cause any problems right?

1.o8 % is OK. If you need to ever replace a tire consider worn tires are smaller in tire diameter and right must match left on the same axle within about 3/32" or less. Front tires will wear faster if used on the street which in your case is OK.
