yeah, figured 35 series would look too small. well i guess ill keep the 255/40 thats on there right now and do some pulling. andy (genx350) had to raise up his car and had -5 camber when he had these wheels.. i dont really want to have to raise the car... but i might have to forfeit the height.

Flare them fenders. I'm
Actually running -7 and fenders are flared because I had the rim kissing the fender going over some dips. But now it cambers in and it still have the flush look.

im running a 245/40 on my fronts 18x11 currently so i wouldn't see a problem running 255 although you are half an inch away from 18x12 and most of us run 265/35 so keep that in mind.

one concern you have to worry about is how low you currently are or want to be and honestly the 35 and 40 series don't look too much off from each other. i would a 265/35 to be safe for a mild stretch on that wheel and just let the fender pull do the talking

if you don't wanna worry about height then go with the 35 series
this is mine tucking the tire away


notice the stretch on the bottom of the tire, this is a 265/35

mann i thought the wheels would have been mounted by now. its going to look sick on black man. going -6 or 7 camber will make it fit.

This guy is doing a 255 on an 11: http://www.rimtuck.com/setup.php?id=1127

Not nearly as much negative offset as you though. :s
sure you can fit 255/35 that is what I was running on my set up and I had 18x11 -13, but If you like stretched tires I would recommend 245/35 I did not like the stretch on the 255/35 Michellin Pilot PS2 I don't know if it was the design of the tire or something but It wasn't a good stretch for my taste.....here are some pics.....was running -4.7 camber

Please don't flame me, but I been up and down these 716 pages running all different kinds of sizes and offsets that my head is all screwed up now. I have to come up with a decision by 3pm tomorrow since I keep changing my mind with the company that has my deposit for my wheels.

I am trying to get a stance and fitment like Toby-22 but I am looking at some Work Schwerts SC1 in 19" in the 9.5 +0/10.5 +0 and the 10 +? /11 +?. I can't visually picture what it would look like roll and pulled on a Z. So can you pro chime in on which sizing I should go with to do it right the first time. The car will be driven somewhat daily and tracked 3-5 times a year. It anBlack 03 350z non-brembo. Please help me out with helpful knowledge
