Question Tire/Wheel combo

I'm new to the forum as well as a new 350Z owner. It is a 2006 base 6 speed with a DE and is on factory wheels and skins, staggered. I want to go square with 18x10's with 275/35's all around. I'm thinking +15 on all 4 corners. Not really wanting to get into a roll or pull right now and was hoping I could get away with this setup with no interference issues. Whuddaya think??..............-Curtis

18x10.5 +15 will work perfect

wheel/tire setup will work at stock height. Front might rub under compression.
I've used 2 different 275/35/18 tire sizes and they don't come the same width. Had federal RSRR and falken RT615K+ both in those sizes and federals was more bubble whereas falkens were slightly stretched.

I'm not sure about the fronts myself, I think it would barely clear with some rubs. I have 275/35 up front with no issues so another 10 might not hurt. As for the rears, you should be fine but I did have my quarter rolled only. I think you may have to roll them. It would

It would help to say what sidewall and what kind of tire, 40? I don't think so. 35, I think you will be OK. Some tire run wider than others. So if it's an Hankook brand, you'll be fine. If it's a Federal brand, then it's runs more like a 295 which may not fit.

From your input, I think I'm gonna go with the 275/35/18's.
