they also mention offsets, so it can be assumed they are talking of aftermarket rims.

I do think 255's fit fine on the stock rims though.
Thanks. To specifically reduce understeer and improve handling, what would be your recommendation for tires (Front and Rear) assuming I do not want to lower the car ?

MoZi - If you're keeping the same wheels (18x8 and 18x8.5) I would recommend 245/40-18 tires all around. That's what I have and it works very well. You'll still get a bit of understeer but less than when you got the car.

I don't understand how some of the people on here live with the amount of stagger they have - there are people with 235s in the front and something ridiculous like 285s in the rear. Unless they play with the suspension, their Zs must drive like pigs.
