BIG Tires

I'm putting an APR wide body kit on my 03 G. They call for 325/25/20 and 285/25/20. I can only find michelins and pirrelis that fit but I would really like to try the new Nitto Nt05s. Has any one heard when Nitto plans to make tires this big or another brand of equal performance. I've also considered going with 19s that have the same outside diameter.

You need to figure out what offset you need to run first. THEN figure out your tire size. It may take some test fitting before you find an ideal setup...

APR calls for something like +2 on the rear and -6 on back ..I think. The problem is I'm going with a three piece rim to get the proper offset so I have to get it right the first time or I'm out ALOT of money in rims I can't use. I want to put malice 5s on it.

What widths with those offsets?

The rears are 12 wide and the fronts are 10.5 wide.

Sounds like time to tub the rear.

No need to tub it when you install a wide body kit as the wheels simply stick further outward.

One of the benefits of tubbing is that it helps maintain straight line stability while enhancing cornering due to the greater adhesion. The biggest issue I see with the much wider tires would be in the area of hydroplaning but then I would probably keep the critter home during these periods of wetness.

One item I always liked about cars that were tubbed is their stealth appearance, you don't tend to notice much until you are behind one and then it really can stand out.

I understand. Seems the OP is already installing a widebody kit and needs to fill the area up.

you can probably use 26" rims. You have limitless vehicle potential, as I see you drive an Infinity.
