Default Question about tire size - help!

I currently have an 03 350z touring lowered on Eibach Sportline springs. I have 25mm spacers in the rear and am running the stock wheels. I'm currently in the market for some new rear tires but want to go with something wider than the 245/40/18s that I have right now.

My question: If I roll the fenders, what's the widest tire I can fit without having rubbing issues?

Thanks in advance!

you shouldn't put anything wider than a 245 on an 8" wheel anyways.

^true dat^

upgrade the wheels first, 18X9F, 18X10R or something. Then slap your wide tires on!

YOu should also be running a 245/45 rear , that will better fill out your wheel well and look a lot better. Front tires mounted on the rear FTL
