What would be a good square tire size for a set of 18x8.5 +20 offset wheels?
I'm looking to get 255's all around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

 

" WHY ? "




More info needed. Z or G ? What year? VDC equipped?

 

Oh damn my bad. It's 20003 Touring Z so it has VDC. Sorry I forgot to post that.

 

18x8.5 all around even rear?

 

Don't buy those wheels , and wait. I would run the 245/40 front and 245/45 combo if i was stuck with those wheels.

 

255/40.....my .02.

 

Ok. Thanks for the one positive response 03threefifty.

 

Do you already have these wheels? If not....go wider. I'm guessing these are your stock wheels.

 

I was trying to be positive... .. . you just did not provide the crucial info
Tire calculator is your friend especially when your car is VDC eqipped.

I guess actually got lucky because the 18x8.5's that I had ordered were out of stock. If anybody has any better suggestions for a square wheel and tire set up that will fit a Z with stock suspension please let me know. Thanks.
P.S.
Sorry about that raf, I wasn't talking about you.

 

18x10 w/ 275/35's.

 

Those wouldn't rub?

 

Depends on ride height, etc. I run 275/35's w/o any fender mods. I may roll the rears this winter for a little extra margin.

 

i run 275/40 with stock ride height no problem

 

18x9x4, 18x9.5x4, or 18x10x4. With the right offset, any of those can run 275s all around, or even 285s on the 9.5 or 10" wheels.
