Does it look odd from the side with the smaller height tires? Like is there alot more fender well showing? If u have a pic that would be great.

Also does ur rear tire overhang the rims at all? I just ordered 20mm wheel spacers all around and want to make sure the tire won't rub with a 265/40/18 tire on.

Check out the pics in my profile thats all i have right now (try to get some more tonight). They overhang the wheels just barely but I like the look of that! I also have my Z lowered so there is not much wheel gap there!

LOL , 40 is an aspect ratio , it stands for 40% not 40mm. The aspect ratio is 40% of the width, just like a 45 is 45% of the width of the tire is the tire height.

The car need a stagger in tire height for everything (ABS, VDC, TCS) to work properly. Thats why i recomend 245/40 front and 245/45 rears for stock wheels. you can get away with 265/40 rears, but its a hard to find size, expensive and really doesnt fit as well as needed for proper handling.

What about running a 275/35/18 on stocks just for drag nights? Considering the bf goodrrich. I drag solo so I can haul around extra rims and equipment.
