Guys, im so so sorry, I know and I feel really bad cuz I will get a lot of negative comments, yes ive been reading here and there, but at the end I think a made a mistake
First of all, Im New To Wheels and Tires!!! Take it easy with the comments, now I will explain...
About a month ago I had a flat tire on my way to the gym, I had no spare tire, I had to go to a tire shop about 3 blocks, when I get there trying to fix my flat tire, guy told me I had a crack on the front driver wheel, btw I drive a 2007 350z San Martino Blue, he putted on air into the tire and I did make it back home, the I decided to get a new set of wheels, guys I swear I thought this was easier, that's why I need some serious help in here, so I went online, tbh ebay, " 350z wheels" , I wasn't looking for anything "expensive" I don't race, I don't drift, I just drive home to work and back, about 24 miles a day, so I finally found some cheap wheels, and I bought them, I have them at home, now I know I didn't play smart on this one. Ok so when I was looking for the tires and looking around similar Zs with similar setups I couldn't find anything like it , I will try to post the links, but if it doesn't appear cuz im new here, I will post the wheels specs:
But that's not all, then I went online and ordered some tires, I ordered 265/35/18 for the front and 285/35/18 for the rear, front tires are Nankang: NS-20 and rear tires Sumitomo: HTR Z II
Please all I ask is, if anyone can figure out how I can run all this together, or if I have to return everything cuz I bought everything wrong
UPDATE:
My Z is drop, ( Eibach Sportline Springs ) I bought it 1 1/2 year ago, never had a problem since now.
Update: Wheels mounted w/o tires
Front caliper

Bro you've brought a smile back to my face are you sure im good? cuz ive been looking everywhere and most people are running everything so different from mine, that's what scared me the most, you know what, I had the 245 40 and 275 40, but I called and switched them for 285 35 cuz I thought 275 would be stretch on a 10.5 wheel, so I also changed the front for 265 35 to not have a taller sidewall on the front, either way, ive read a lot of your comments, so glad I had a response from you, thank you very much brother
With either tire you decide to run out back, you will be on the edge of rubbing without a roll. Basically it's a crap shoot if it rubs or not, a slight roll is cheap and easy if you do rub.

^^^ That's why I pulled the trigger on these, and they weight the same as OEM, I will post pics when im done, ive seen people on Facebook running the same wheels in old foxbody 5.0, nothing negative yet, and since I don't drift or race lol, couldn't find anything cheaper than these
Thank you very much yeah this forum really helped me, I was so scared lol, my first time and experience getting wheels and tires. Thanks for the input, any easy tip to paint the letters on the tires? I got some cheap tires to be honest lol
Thanks terrasmak, better than I thought, now im waiting for the hub centric rings, didn't even know about that either until I went to balance the tires
I would have gotten matching tires. Otherwise they look good
I will, when I replace the tires again, all I wanted for now was getting the car ready, I will also save up to get some Enkei RPF1s those were the one I wanted from the beginning but my budget was low
