Default deciding what tires to get

So i just placed an order for some ES3's in 18x9.5 +22 / 18x10.5 +15 since i couldn't pass up on the deal. Now i've always had 19s and this is my first time throwing 18s on the Z. I have the stance GR+ coils installed already, also have ARP extended studs for when i was running neg offsets, and also have 15mm and 20mm spacers on hand(not too sure if i want to use them this time around) but i was thinking of running 245/40/18 in the fronts with 275/40/18 out back.

What do you guys run for your 18" set ups tire wise, specially you guys on coil overs?

Bump the front up to a 255/40 instead of 245.

255/40/18
275/40/18

Setup I am running now. Basically OEM diameters too.

I was just PM'ing terra lol.

You think i should run the spacers on them? Or would that be pushing it with the 255/275 combo?

I will reply later tonight to the PM , phone typing sucks. 255/40 front is a more ideal size , spacers will depend on camber you want, and how low you are going to run
