Default 18x10.5 +22 Fitment Issue???

I just picked up a set of brand new 18x10.5 +22 Titanium Gunmetal Volk Racing TE37's All Around. I have the factory 225/45 and 245/45 18" tire combo, will this setup be to crazy if i decide just to use my like new tires off my stock z wheels? I just spent money on my 19" setup and dont really feel like spending more on 18" rubber. does any have pics with a similar set up like what im trying to do???

225 will be a pretty big stretch... but not as bad as the 245... either way they will be stretched... I wouldn't reccomend either, but you should be smart enough to decide... GL

I would probably run a 265/35/18 all around with 10.5s. u can do 40 also, most people would probably run 40 series but I would do what i said above, just cause 40 series looks too meaty for 18s.. just personal preference. 275s with that offset in the front will cause problems. search square setups to see what other people run. You could always go with a staggered setup but anything less then a 265 on a 10 inch wheel up front will look retarded.

I think a 40 series would be perfect. Many 350z's that run 19x10.5 run a 275/35 profile.

255/40 or 275/35 front and 275/40 rear is my final answer.

You need new tires. I suggest a 275/35 front and a 275/40 or 285/35 rear. As Terrasmak accurately stated, a 255/40 could work in the front as well, though I'd like to see a bit more rubber on the 10.5.

did you get these from tirerack?

i would do 265-35-18 all the way around with some front camber if you're afraid of clearance issues..

i want to do the same in the future... 18x10.5 all the way around..
