Little Rock and surrounding areas
stocks usually are 225/45/18 and 245/45/18. Thats on a 8 or 8.5" rim. You only need the stagger if you have VDC. it has to be around .5 to .75 inch (height of tire) to keep VDC happy. If you dont have VDC, then you only have the speedo to worry about. But really bad sizes will mess with cruise control too, dunno if base has that.
if youre going to 9.5" width, youre going to want at least 245 in the front and 275 in the rear. If you put 225 on the 9.5, you'd have a f'd up stretch. Too much stretch for a daily driver on our roads.
I would much rather run the 'meaty' look of Steves setup than a stretch tire. I dont think it looks good, offers no protection to the sidewall or the rim. I didnt understand how so many volks got rashed, but after running my Advans with a mild stretch, i noticed that an steep incline like a driveway or those rounded curbs (that you can usually pull up on alittle), will snag the rim. The rim hangs out quite a bit from the sidewall and thread on those setups.
but anyway, #1 one thing that will decide your tires, do you have VDC?

one that doesnt leave quite as early would be great
getting home at midnight and going to bed at 4-5 am makes it a beeeeotch to get up and going by 9. shoot even a hour later would help me out alot. but yeah we need to do a lil trip before weather gets funky. Yall wish me luck im going to the top neuro guy in the state in a few Hopefully he will be able to get me back to somewhat normal. no headaches and backaches and i would be so haaaapppppy. There is no doubt i will be going through another surgery or 2 though

Well I took my 350 up to nissan in N. Little Rock and they looked at it and are replacing that piece under warranty. They're also replacing the steering wheel silver bezel that goes over the buttons on the steering wheel that control the radio, ect... On a wim, I asked them to quote me how much it would cost to fix my scuffs and chunks on my 3 wheels that were curbed by the previous owner.... They quoted me $460. Does anyone know if that is a good price? I'm going to dent doctor tomorrow to have them quote it as well.
Also, here are some pics from the before and after damage my roommate did to my Z. While in the shop we painted my tails and my front side markers.
