I am thinking of gettin some new wheels and tires
currently have a stock suspension 04 350z without brembo brakes

Current stock setup is
Front
Wheel Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +30mm
225/50/R17 94W

Rear
Wheel Size: 17x8.0
Offset: +33mm
235/50/R17 96W

New setup
Front
Wheel Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +30mm
245/40/R18 93w

Rear
Wheel Size: 18x9.5
Offset: +30mm
275/35/R18 95w

Do you think new setup would fit without any problems?

Thanks

With 18" wheels, I think the correct size for the rear tire is 275/40.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Also the front tires are taller than the rear.

Should be fine , but you may wont 275/40 rears . You could also do 255/40 fronts if you want.

thanks for the replies.

i didnt think about the front tire being taller than the rear. i am going to change that to 255/35/18 instead.

i wanted to go 275/40/18s in the back but cannot be certain if the it will work without trying and dont have the time ship back tires and stuff.

255/35/18 up front and 275/35/18 in the back is wht i am gonna go with at this point.

i hope the change wont affect the TCS / VDC adversely. I've tried to calculate the change but it looks to be minimal from stock so I hope the ECU or whatever is controlling the TCS, does not think that I am slippin all the time...

Thanks again for the comments.

Cheers,

You drive an Enthusiast. No VDC to worry about. 255/35/18 up front and 275/35/18 will be fine.
