What's Max Stock Rays Wheels Tire Size
 
front is 18x8 w/ 225/45/18, and rear is 18x8.5 w/ 245/45/18

do you think i can use 245/40/18 for front and 275/40/18 for the rear? or is there a better setup. i don't want to use to stock size, i want the tires to be a bit wider. please let me know soon. thank you!

Yes, won't be a problem on 8 and 8.5s Camn even go 285 in the rear if you wish.

NOTE: On Ray's NISMO and most Ray's Volks like TE37s/SF Challenge/SF Winning's/GTC - 8.5 and 9.5 rear, we strap 285/30 and 315/30.

Take care

Can you post pics? Wondering what the tire bulge looks like on the 8.5" rim, since on Nismo 9.5" rims, you typically run 275.

Here is a 285/30/18 on a Nismo 8.5 and a 315/30/18 on a Nismo 9.5. And we do not have show cars, we race them very agressively. This car has 500 WHP at 10.5 PSI on Pump and I am shooting for 800+ WHP this week. Believe me the tires (Pirelli and Mich Cup to be exact) work at this config. Hard to believe yet they do!
