Default looking for tires and wheels that can fit my 06Z

I am looking for the tires and wheels that can fit my 06Z and won't effect the speed meter (so that I can always know the exact speed while I am driving my Z) my tire size: P245/40YR18 tires (front) P265/35YR19 tires (rear). any one can help me with that? and is there anyone can give me some suggestions of what kind of suspensions I should looking for, for drifting?
(never drift before but it looks cool, wanna try it somehow) and what offset should I get?
thanks for the helps!!!!!

you need to keep the overal diameter of the tire and wheel as close to the original as possible. i don't know if you know how to read the tire size, if you do, ignore this, if not, here goes : for example, 245/40YR18, 245 is in mm and is the tire width, the 40 shows you how to get the sidewall height. 40 is the percentage of the 245, and is the height of one sidewall, so in this case 245*0.4 = 98mm. Now multiply that by two, and convert to inches (1" = 25.4mm), and add that to the wheel size, 18" in this case.

98mm*2 = 196mm = 7.716"
18" + 7.716" = 25.7" total

It would be really easy to set up a quick Excel spreadsheet and just input the numbers if you have a lot to choose from. Hope this helps.

You dont like those track wheels? The tire sizes look a bit beefy and should grip quite well.
