I didn't mean to be rude, I was merely stating I had a hard time understanding.

I know my 35 series sidewall is shorter than your 45 series, and also wider. Which is why I said "I hope this answers your question" as in "If I can fit wider square tires, you should have no problems with 245/45s.

 

Just picked up a 03 touring. Looking to get new wheels and tires and found this set and was wondering if I would have any issues. Z appears to be lowered a little, but not sure. anyway here are specs.


F=18x9.5 +22 225/45 18
R=18x10.5 +15 265/40 18


VDC ok with this set up?
Flush with these offsets?


Thank you

 

Could use a little wider tire up front and could be a bit more aggressive up front, but they will be a lot more aggressive than stock,

 

Thanks

 

I tried to reply with quote, but it wont let me for some reason. Terrasmak what size tires would you recommend with those wheels that are VDC safe?

 

The standard 255 or 245/40-18 and 275/40-18

 

Forgot to post here after I got them installed. (specs in sig)

 

took about a month and a half for these wheels to be built, finally picked them up Tuesday. Came out beautiful! Need to play with my coils, roll and pull, and mount them! 18x10 up front 18x12 in the rear.

 

I like custom built wheels and own a set but the face on those look like they came from the 80s.

 

Ok done a little digging and am thinking this is a good relatively low maintenance setup:

- Looking for a good wheel/tire setup for a seasonal daily+occ. track driver
- 2008 base Z
- Bone stock at the moment, replacing internal parts now to clean 'er up
- Access to very good roads, 70-80mph hwys, Bonneville salt flats, Toelle track, mountain roads

planned hardware upgrade:

enkei rpf1s @ 18x9.5 f/r to allow for rotation (daily at least half the year, desert climate)
+15mm offset f&r

- thinking of staying with 18"s as they look good to me and I just want more rubber underneath for high speed stability and better grip in corners

planned rubber upgrade:

thinking 265/[35-40] on all four corners, preferably nitto nt05s

Basically looking for a good set of shoes that'll be stable and work well with an eventual suspension upgrade. Appreciate

 

So here's my issues hah, basically bought my 03 Z with a body kit already on it, the kit is a VIS ravage wide body kit. Has fender flares on front and rear but anyway I've done measurements and I know a couple different ways to do my wheels just want to know if anyone has 18'S on there Z with a wide body and what the specs are post pics plz thanks!

 

I would go 10.5 with 275/35-18 for that goal

 

So I'm getting some new wheels in a couple of weeks and I need help finding a good size tire. I don't want my tires to stretch at all if possible. Wheel sizes are 18x11 +8mm rear,18x9.5 +10mm front.

 

255/4-18 front and 295/35-18 rear would be my suggestion

Or

265/35-18 front and 295/35-18 rear

 

OKKK! After days of research and calculations I have a couple questions I need help with to make sure Im on the right path for what Im trying to achieve.

My Current Set Up:
-(F) 18x8 +5 Offset (25mm spacers) w 225/45/18
-(R) 18x8 -2 Offset (32mm spacers) w/ 245/45/18
-Lowered on TB NF210's
-Rear is rolled

My Plan:
-(F) 18x9.5 +15 Offset (5mm spacers) w/ 245/40/18
-(R) 18x9.5 +5 Offset (15mm spacers) w/ 265/40/18
-Keep TB NF210's for time being

My goal is to have a similar look as to what I have now maybe with a little more wheel poke by 3-5mm rear/front but a little bit more tire stretch. Will this achieve it? I do plan on getting coilovers next spring and will keep same wheel/tire set up, so that's why I wanted more tire stretch than I have now so I didn't have issues when I drop more. Any problems you foresee? Opinions/advice welcomed.

So a 295/35 would work in the rear would I need to pull my finders at all?

 

You will need a good roll and slight pull

 

What due you think about 265/35 front-295/30 in the rear. Would it make a difference if I just put a 295/30 instead of the 295/35?

 

295/30-18 is a great front tire, a bit short for rear use.

 

JohnC's Z.

do you guys know the specs of his set up?
I dig the stance on this
