Default 255-40-18Rear & 235-40-18Front

Hello, does anyone drive this set up? I know the speedo will be off, the stagger is preserved, improved final drive,weight,inertia, stiffer sidewall...what about the ABS system? Thanks for sharing your experience.(Been through the Search)

It would be better to put a 245/40/18 in the front, it's closer to the OD of the stock 225/45/18 wheel, and will perserve the stagger. It will also reduce the understeer of the automobile. 255/40/18 in the rear should be fine, however with a 235/40 in the front, that may be a little too much stagger for the electronics to handle, though I'm not sure.

Thanks Lou for writing back, I know that 245-45R & 245-40F is working : It's what I currently have. I'm going to the track more often. These tire seem great for everyday + track : http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....VAN+Neova+AD07

The stagger will be ok with 255-40R & 235-40F(VDC ok), plus all the advantages,but what about the ABS system?

Thanks daytona350z, anyone else has the same size as I stated above? I know the Z is very sensitive (I had vdc abs issues with only the new front tires without replacing the rears for example) so please answer me if you know from your experience.
