I do like the Enkei Kojins wheels in black. So now I have my wheel and tire setup.

Thank u guys. Would it be better to go 245/40 265/40 tires or 255/40 275/40 tires. The tires I want to use are the new nitto nt555 g2.

So this 275/40 255/40 combo Is making a new problem. I want to use nitto tires and they don't make a nt555 g2 in 255/40. And they don't make one in the nt 05 either. They do make a 245/40 and 275/40 in the nt-05. So its either I use two brands of tire or 245/40 front with 275/40 in the rear. What do u guys this about this problem?

I found they have a match with 275/35 rear 255/35 front? Will that upset the car?

Most popular 18" sizes of wheels for Z Cars:

Front: 18x9.5 +15 to +25

Rear: 18x10.5 +15 to +25

Neither will require fender work.

Why are you limiting yourself to one brand tire anyways?

I used a lot of tires and want to try nitro this time. The best Tire I have used is the super sports, than Bridgestone really line, than bfg GeForce, Hankook v12 Evo hated this tire.. I think I'm going to do the same setup I have now. Super sport tires on the front and nitro nt555 g2 on the rear. The super sport tires really hold the road.

NOT a good idea mixing tires. I mean, it's not like doing so is going to make you slide off the road or anything so long as performance capabilities of each brand of tires is comparable but..... performance and predictability of your mis-matched set is NOT optimal with different rate of adhesion drop-off, rollover rates, etc.

If you can swing it, get a full set of Michelins and call it a day, can't go wrong with the PSS. Just my take.... you do what you ultimately want.

Is 255/35 front 275/40 Bad idea for this car?

I already posted up the tire size chart. Look at it carefully. I even color coded it. Look specifically at the last number of each row. That's the overall height spec and compare to the reference tire.

Hush, Trav.

Empirical evidence doesn't need color.... it's black and white. Ar ar ar ar...
