Default Need help on tire size

What is the best tire size for 8.5 18 +24 front and 9.5 18 +25 rear to fit the Z?

Thanks!

245/40/18 in front and 275/40/18 in the rear will be perfect. These sizes maintain the proper stagger and are the recommended sizes for those wheel widths on our cars. I run these on my 18" Nismos with +25mm offset in front and +30mm offset in the rear. Your offsets are pretty close, so it should be no issue. Handling will greatly improve over the stock sizes.

Great! Thank you! I was thinking the same size's. What brand do you recommend as far as keeping s budget but nothing crapy?

Thanks!

I have 18 X 9.0 w/+31 offset on all four corners. Just received from Tire Rack, Michelin "Pilot Sport" PS2, 245/40 on the front and 265/40 on the rear. Maintains stagger. Looks great.

I'm running Dunlop SP9000s. I think they are a great performance/price compromise. They do tend to be noisy on some road surfaces, but on smooth blacktop (freeways) they are very quite. Handling is, IMO, fantastic.

Hey Lou,

Do you have any bigger pics of your G on the Nismos?
