Hi Guys,
I have 245/35/18 square setup on the stock 8X18 front and 8.5X18 rear wheels. Now that I am moving to intermedia group, I have noticed that my front tire outside edge wears more than the rear tires.

Here are my questions:
1. Is it ok to swap front wheels and tires with the rear? I don't know if there is any concern due to the different front/rear wheel width, even though the tire size are the same.
2. Is there any room for front adjustment without using camber kit? If camber kit is the way to go, which brand has good quality?

Thanks
Francis

 

1. No, keep the 8.5s in the rear

2. No adjustment for camber with Oem parts. Good aftermarket brands: spl, spc, kinetix, etc

 

Why are you on 245/35/18s? That's very small, diameter-wise, compared to stock tires sizes.

 

Bmurray350z, thanks for the reply.

3hree5ive0ero, I wanted to use Federal 595-RSR, which is cheap and good grip, sizes are limited. After using square 245/35/18, the traction control system is confused, and I have to turn it off even for street driving.

 

Federal tires are cheap, but definitely not competitive racing material. And like I mentioned before, the overall diameter is too small, unless that was your intention.

What model is your Z?

 

The small diameter (I assume it is caused by the sidewall of 35?) is not my intention. I want to have the widest tire for stock front wheel, which is 245, and 35 side wall is the only choice (for Federal 595-RSR tires). I started tracking last year, some choices I made in may not be the best, but I am learning

My car is a 2006 Enth.
