Default Wheel and Tire fitment?

I am looking at the Axis Mon Seven Silver: 18X7.5, 42mm offset wheels all around with following tire sizes: Front-245/40 18
Rear-275/40 18
Does anyone have this set up? Will this adversely affect the driveability of the car(04 Enthusiast)? Will the wheels look to tucked in with this offset?

You can use that to see the difference between those and the stock wheels. Tire size doesn't really make a difference as far as how the wheel will sit in the fender, although those 275 are going to bulge out on a 7.5" riim.

you may want to get 8.5 all around atleast...

9.5's in the rear would be ideal...

and with those wheels... you may want to look into spacers...

My problem is they don't have 8.5's and im not willing to go 19", looks like for me at this point I will be sticking with the stock wheel and to just get better tires that fit, maybe someday these wheel manufactures will be making wheels suitable for the Z and in a design that I like.

I didn't think 275 could fit on a 8.5

you could do the 7.5 with 245 on them... just get some spacers for the wheel and push them out closer to the fender with some spacers...

let me know the size wheels (offset) and tires you go with and ill help you get the best spacer size for you

Im going to have to think about this, New Wheels,Tires, and now spacers, this is getting expensive, besides what I would have to pay someone to install the spacers, I remember that someone said they had to be installed behind the rotors and needed to be checked for fitment after so many miles.
