bs? even if you can, i think it might look stupid with the tire protruding so far out from the edge of the wheel

If you are not talking to Luke at Tirerack you are wasting your time. He is the only one there that knows about Z's since he also owns one.

On a 18" wheel that is 8" wide, you can only fit a 255 width tire! If you have a 17" than you probably can go wider.

I recently replaced my rear tires (on the stock 17x8 wheel) with 245/45/R17 Falken Ziexs. The car is handling very wierd now, and the steering feel is very vague (my kumhos up front are on the wear bars). I want to replace the fronts, so can I stuff the same size Falken (245/45/R17) up front (17x7.5 wheel)?

Edit: Oh and my stocks wore out in about 10k miles too so don't feel bad :P Since then i've had... Potenza, Falken Azenis, Toyo T1S, Kumho Supra 712, and now Falken Ziex.
