With your wheels, I would do 275/35 all around

i thought of it but am afraid from the gap
at least 40 series will fill up the tire fender gap..

plus 275 +12 front wont rub?

know whats weird, on my 08, i have a 9.5+23 up front with a 255/40 and i was rubbing on one of the screws holding the fender liner in place... my front camber is minimal and i know that has something to do with it... but i dont think i could ever do a +15. i wonder if the hr's a a little diff?!?!

I ran 9.5 +17 with 255/40 up front on the street for a while, I rubbed on that screw. Just take the screw out, cut it in half, reinstall and roll that little area it attaches. If needed do a quick and easy pull to the lip with your hands.

Who freaking cars about gap if your looking at a function setup. Gap will be minimal in the rear, and the front is the same height tire as stock. Rubbing, you will need about -0.5 added camber from an adjustable arm, and in all actuality you will want a static cab,ER setting up front of -2 to -3.5 depending on how serious you are.

^^^ so 265 40 will rub front with +12 wheels?

Depends on suspension, camber. Most likely they will. 275/35 is a shorter tire.

i think mostly i will go for 265 35 front and 265 40 rear

damn we really need the forum to be on Tapatalk!!

Will 235/55/18R tires work on my 350Z convertible. I have a chance to by a set of 4 almost new tires and rims for a good price. I just wanted to make sure they work and are a good fit. Curtis

235/55/18 are for small SUVs....do you mean 235/45/18?

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about going with a 50 height tire for my next set of tires instead of the 45 height that comes with the oem 06+ wheels. Would a 50 height tire work with a stock height Z?

Any summer tire recommendations with good threadlife? I've been using Potenza Re760.

Might affect vsc and or vdc with the slightly taller front tires. Go wider not taller. You can also check yourself with a tire size calculator, just google it and plug in the new tire size in relation to stock.

Im looking at some g-force sport 245/45 R18s. Does anyone have these on their z? They kind of look like the stock 370 wheels

My bad, I meant the tires. I had wheels on the mind while typing
