Ok everyone, I have searched up and down every page of the forums for my answer. My350z.com, 350ztech.com... even other car forums for any additional information. I am frustrated and confused, so I need you expert's help. I just bought some work vs-xx wheels. The specs are 18x9.0 +13 front and 18x9.5 +32 rear. These wheels are a bit small for common 350z fitment, I know, although I got a killer deal on them($1400 shipped). Just need help in picking the correct tire size. I am looking for a tire that is a bit stretched, but not so stretched that I have a tiny pu**y tire. I although don't want huge oversized tires(like I do now) that cause a bulge. I was thinking maybe a 245/35 up front and 265/35 rear? Or 245/40 front and 265/40 rear. I just want an aggressive look to my z. If this helps, I have 20mm and 25mm Ichiba spacers sitting in my garage AND I am about 1.25 inches lower than stock. I am also rolled so that wont be a problem. If i missed a similar thread, sorry guys, I just couldn't find ANY similar threads that had the 18x9 in front and 18x9.5 in back with my offsets. Thanks in advance.

Stick with 40 series. Don't even think about stretching. Stretch look is for running aggressive offsets. Yours are far from aggressive... so go with meaty tires to make them look better. Otherwise, it's going to look retarded. 245/40/18 + 275/40/18 or 255/40/18 + 285/40/18 then space from there maybe.

 

265/35x18 rear?

Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 105.45 MPH. Do not like.

 

I have 245 40 18 and 275 35 18 on my LM's which are 18x9/10 +20 and they're plenty meaty.

 

....the specs are 18x9.0 +13 front and 18x9.5 +32 rear.

The best typical sizes are:

245/40/18 F
275/40/18 R + 20mm spacers (if you want)

 

down the road you could move the 18 x 9.5" to the front and take the 18 x 8.5" lips off and add 5" lips to the 8.5" and then you would have a more aggresive set up

but i would use 225-40-18 on the front & 245-40-18 on the rear

 

thanks guys for the help. Ok man then i am most likely buying this setup. Seems to be the best sizes?

 

thats actually pretty smart. my original plan was to sell the 18x9, then put the 18x9.5 up front and buy 18x10.5 and put them in back. but this seems pretty smart. its expensive im pretty sure??

btw, my fronts are 18x9 not 18x8.5 haa

 

sell them to a guy who has a sedan and use the money to get sumthing more aggressive..

 

well im not planning to do this for a while

 

I have 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 with 245/275 set up and in my honest opinion, it looks PERFECT. It's not stretched and not bulging.
Since your width isn't that far off from my own, the 225/245 would look great.

 

^ this is irrelevent...
try also a quality used tire store to sample more than one setup.
it's gonna take a few shots.
every manufacturers sizes are slightly different too.

how big is the rear spacer gonna be? at least 25mm bro.

 

guy on g35 driver is selling a pair of lips in 19" for very resonable they are either 5" or 4.5" can't remember

either way 4.5" or 5" will be in improvement

 

yeah +1 on manufacture differences.
and yeah i was thinking a 25mm on the rear. i had a 30mm but sold it
