no, but it would stretch the tire some, i would keep it a 255 personally

Those two fronts are fully interchangeable when running a 275/40 rear. I would say 255 is preferred, but it's not always available.

Ive got a stock height 05 350z and id like to put some Miro type 398s on. 18x8.5 front with 245/40/18 tires and 18x10.5 with 275/35/18 tire on the back. Wheelfire says the combo will fit but do u guys think they will fit?

why are you going to have a 2 inch difference in the wheel width? i run 9.5 setup on all corners, the most important thing we need to help is the offset of the wheels. here is a good read for ya

And why would you run a front tire that is taller than your rear tire?

1. You never posted offset
2. Never go to wheelfire again
3. The rear tire you want is 275/40-18
4. Do some research.

What would you guys recommend as tire size for a square street setup? Currently running 18x9.5 +15 all around with 255/40/18. I was thinking of going 275/40/18.

I would just run a 255/40 front and 275/40 rear with those wheels for street use

I’m headed in the direction terrasmak advises. My plan is mounting Enkei Tenjin wheels (9.5x18” offset 15)…



…with 255/40 front and 275/40 rear. I may go with 8.5 x 18” on the front. Not sure yet.

I don’t need the extra expense of a light weight racing wheel.

I have a Redline 350Z. I like the polished rim with either black or gunmetal spokes with the Redline.

Ok I would like some gt4 wheels here is the link:

http://m.americanmuscle.com/blackgt4-18in-9904-sumitomo-stag.html

They're 18x9 and 18x10 offset is +25. Will the fit or should I go with +40 offset?

terrasmak

25 is fine, you do not want +40

turboed350z

Ok so the offset is +25. The wheel and tire package has 9 in the front with 275 tires. Will I rub?

I wouldn't pay $700 for those wheels. (tires are worth around $550 for all 4)

turboed350z

Im actually paying around 500 for the wheels. I get a discount at final price on wheels+tired mounted snd ballance shipped to my house is 1,160. Do you still think theyre too much? Just want a cheap set of gloss black for everyday driving.

You probably won't rub but your tire is almost 2 inches wider than your wheel so it's going to bulge out.

That being said I have 275's on an 8" rim. I was unable to run the normal 25mm spacers on the rear on the stock 18x8 rims because the tire stuck out about 15mm past the fender, so you need to account not only for the rim, but the tire buldging

turboed350z

Thanks for the advice. I might have to pick up some spacers.

okay guys i bought them, i test fit them one on with the 235 and it looked like i still had a good amount of room to work with, i drove around a tad bit with one on and it didn't rub at all.. so im hoping a 265 will be fine.

I ordered continentals 265/35 up front
285/35 for the rears...

Will get back to you when my tires come in and i get them mounted!

That tire combo should work well.
