i moved to US 5 months ago, my english is horrible and know nothing of car so i'm really sorry about this. This is all new and i'm trying to learn about it. I don't know why people are being angry for someone thats new and doesnt know anything. Not every one start out knowing everything so i'm sorry im not very smart
I didn't mean to be rude, I was merely stating I had a hard time understanding.

I know my 35 series sidewall is shorter than your 45 series, and also wider. Which is why I said "I hope this answers your question" as in "If I can fit wider square tires, you should have no problems with 245/45s.
Just picked up a 03 touring. Looking to get new wheels and tires and found this set and was wondering if I would have any issues. Z appears to be lowered a little, but not sure. anyway here are specs.
F=18x9.5 +22 225/45 18
R=18x10.5 +15 265/40 18
VDC ok with this set up?
Flush with these offsets?
took about a month and a half for these wheels to be built, finally picked them up Tuesday. Came out beautiful! Need to play with my coils, roll and pull, and mount them! 18x10 up front 18x12 in the rear.
Ok done a little digging and am thinking this is a good relatively low maintenance setup:
- Looking for a good wheel/tire setup for a seasonal daily+occ. track driver
- 2008 base Z
- Bone stock at the moment, replacing internal parts now to clean 'er up
- Access to very good roads, 70-80mph hwys, Bonneville salt flats, Toelle track, mountain roads
planned hardware upgrade:
enkei rpf1s @ 18x9.5 f/r to allow for rotation (daily at least half the year, desert climate)
+15mm offset f&r
- thinking of staying with 18"s as they look good to me and I just want more rubber underneath for high speed stability and better grip in corners
planned rubber upgrade:
thinking 265/[35-40] on all four corners, preferably nitto nt05s
Basically looking for a good set of shoes that'll be stable and work well with an eventual suspension upgrade. Appreciate
So here's my issues hah, basically bought my 03 Z with a body kit already on it, the kit is a VIS ravage wide body kit. Has fender flares on front and rear but anyway I've done measurements and I know a couple different ways to do my wheels just want to know if anyone has 18'S on there Z with a wide body and what the specs are post pics plz thanks!

So I'm getting some new wheels in a couple of weeks and I need help finding a good size tire. I don't want my tires to stretch at all if possible. Wheel sizes are 18x11 +8mm rear,18x9.5 +10mm front.
OKKK! After days of research and calculations I have a couple questions I need help with to make sure Im on the right path for what Im trying to achieve.
My Current Set Up:
-(F) 18x8 +5 Offset (25mm spacers) w 225/45/18
-(R) 18x8 -2 Offset (32mm spacers) w/ 245/45/18
-Lowered on TB NF210's
-Rear is rolled
My Plan:
-(F) 18x9.5 +15 Offset (5mm spacers) w/ 245/40/18
-(R) 18x9.5 +5 Offset (15mm spacers) w/ 265/40/18
-Keep TB NF210's for time being
My goal is to have a similar look as to what I have now maybe with a little more wheel poke by 3-5mm rear/front but a little bit more tire stretch. Will this achieve it? I do plan on getting coilovers next spring and will keep same wheel/tire set up, so that's why I wanted more tire stretch than I have now so I didn't have issues when I drop more. Any problems you foresee? Opinions/advice welcomed.
