Hey everyone,

The roads are kind of rough where I live so I decided to go with 17x9 all around so I could fit a 50 series tire on them.

I was wondering what width range I have to work with? I currently have a pair of brand new 235/50/17 on my stock rims (rear) that I was planning on using for the fronts on the new set of rims. Would a 255/50/17 for the rear and 235/50/17 for the front work on stock height?

Would a squared set-up but with different widths for tires (front: 235/50/17, rear: 255/50/17) mess with VDC?

I have a choice between +25 or +35 for offset. Which should I go with?

I've only had to get narrower tires like 205's in the past for my previous car so I'm a bit new when it comes to getting tires/rims for the Z.

Thanks in advance.

 

Definitely, not +35.

 

Thanks.

I just spoke to a rep from TireRack. He said 255/50/17 won't work but 255/45/17 will.

Any suggestions on tire size for 17x9?

 

Why not just stick to oem specs and choose a tire and suspension combo that's more geared towards comfort?

Searching up the Bilstein Pss10's is a good place to start.

 

(front: 235/50/17, rear: 255/50/17) mess with VDC?

Difference in circumference is 3.0 percent. This is perfect for VDC.

 

Front: 235/50/17
Rear: 255/45/17

Front tire is taller than rear. Maybe you should forget TireRack for advise.

 

Thanks for the replies so far.

I think I'll be going with 17x9 in the rear and 17x8 in the front. I think this set-up will make VDC happy.

Okay, now time to select the tires.

Rear: 255/50/17
Front: 235/50/17


Is this set up okay? Will wheels/tires fit without modification on stock height? Should I go with a +25 or +35 offset for the set of rims?

 

+25 would be ok
