I have seen some people run 10" rear wheels with 9" up front on their NX's. Running 245/45 and 275/40 rubber resepctively. I am running 20x9 wheels with 245/45 rubber all around of my AWD but I am thinking of switching it up. All the wheels I like though only come in 10.5" wide. Is it possible to stuff those under the rear? Has anybody done it? I am lowered on RS-R springs too if that matters. I added 25mm spacers to rear for one day but they rubbed like crazy so I have removed them. I don't want it to rub.

 

Why? It's a FWD biased AWD system with barely enough power as is. The last thing you need is heavy wheels slowing the thing down even more and adding a ton of unsprung weight. I can't imagine running even 245 width tires being any good for it.

 

That's your opinion. I don't have a problem with the power. Put it in Sport+ and gag it, mine will spin all 4 wheels. Granted, it ain't no ball of fire, but it's got enough power to get moving.

 

No it won't spin all 4 wheels...at least not unless you're on ice.

 

I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

 

I run 21x9 front +22 21x10 +30 rear. 265 all around. I could also run 285 rears. your gonna have to shave the inner plastic. No my NX is not slow!!!

 

Post vid of you spinning all 4 wheels then....there's no way on dry pave.

 

So the consensus is 10" wide rears is about it?

 

I just finished my wife’s car. 10.5 rears

 

Looks sharp! What is your wheel specs? Tires I assume are 245/45 and 275/40? Also see you added the wide fender flares. Wonder if the 10.5's would fit stock?

 

20x9.5 +5 front and 20x10.5 +5 rears. Running 245/40/20 and 285/35/20

 

There is always one
