BTW, what color is your Z, and what tire size choices have you made?
Its Daytona Blue, I don't have any other exterior mods. All I have done are buddy club coilovers, EVO-R camber arms, SPC camber bolts.

I am going to run 265/35/18 on all corners. Thats what I am currently running on the stock track wheels and it handles very well with extra grip up front.

I am looking for tires on my set. I want to get rid of my 255's in the rear makes the rim look small.

Would 275/35/18:f and 295/35/18:r work?

Thats a lot of tire... I would probably say 275 would be the widest I would run on a 10" wide wheel. It could be done though. I run a 265 on a 8" wheel but it just doesn't look right. Too much overhang.
Maybe 265/35/18 Front and 275/35/18 Rear

275 is recommended for the recommended size for the 9.5" Nismo LMGT4 rim... actually 245/275 on 8.5F and 9.5R for the Nismos. I'm running the de facto 245/275 on my wheels: which are exactly like yours, sans color, 9F, 10R, and they are a tad STRETCHED using Falken FK-451. The best look IMO, would be 245/40/18 and 285/35/18... using 275/40/18 or 285/35/18, you go either .4" bigger than stock, or .4" smaller than stock. Next time, I'm going with 285/35/18 using Falken FK-452.

There are members here using 295/35/18 on their 10" wide wheels. I'd rather have a slight bulge, instead of a stretched look... in the end, it's all in your taste.

Yea. Dont tell me about stretch. 255 rear I want to run a 295 or 285 in the rear. So I am looking at a 295-35-18 or 285-35-18. On the front should it be 20mm less? like 275 and 265?

Thanks guys.

And we need pics. or ban

OK Tony, where is it at man? Waited patiently for a week

Yours should look like Zivman's running on SSR Comp-H.


He's running 265/35F, 295/35R on 9x18F, 10.5x18R

C'mon man, lets see it

See you went with BFG KDW2. What tire sizes did you go with? I'd like to know if your front wheel is rubbing. Looks good, now you need to take some better pictures with some proper lighting.

Holy crap...that looks awesome, better than I thought. I've always liked these wheels and after seeing them on a DB my decision has been made.

Nice job

I think they are the perfect size and offset. It's just bc the rear tire is the same size as the front and is stretched over a wider wheel.

Do the Buddy Club coilovers retain the upper spring seat? You could always take .5" off that...

I am thinkink of getting 275s for the rear when I get new tires so they arent so stretched. The Buddy Clubs use a true coilover in the rear, so there is no going any lower.

Told ya so. Your rear wheel size is actually smaller right now with the tires in the rear stretched. I would actually get 285/35 for the rear... you were thinking 275/35 right? Cause 275/40 is actually recommended.

BTW, can you take more pics with some better lighting and different angles... please?
