18X10 Mid Offset - Tire Size Help
Hello Everyone, I have a 2003 350Z, i installed after marked wheels a couple of years back, 18X10 MID offsed, all four cornes. I am currently running a 245/45/18 tires. They had to install spaces on the front to stop the front wheels from rubing on the struts(desperate and unexperienace on my part). I do not like the way the tires look on the wheels, they look stretch on the rim. Can anyone recomend me the right size of tire need it with out having to do any changes to the fenders?I was thinking 255/40/18 and should i also space the back wheels to keep the car balance? or should I just replace the rims and get rid of the headache? please help...

What brand wheels , that may be a great start. You can typically look up offset if you know the brand.

I ran 265/35 and 265/40, and also 265/40 and 285/40 on my 18x10 +26 all around. Since the front is rubbing on the struts, I would assume the offset to be higher, maybe around +30. Most people would go with 265/35 and 285/35 as it's a more popular setup, the 40 series can be seen as bulgy and big

245-45-18 is too small OP for an 18x10.5
