Smile Depends

The rear is Optimum. 275/40/18

But talk with Jimster716

He said Front can take... 255/40/18 with no problem..

He is an Auto X'er and has 275/40/18 Front and Rear - TCS off

His is the Super Black in Thread Sho - Time new Nismo Wheels.

I only have TCS and can juggle tires..

Cheers Amy -

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's weigh 25.7 and 28.9 pounds for 245/40-18 and 275/40-18.

Not that anyone would, but for comparison and baselining, if you chose to retain the Potenza RE040 tires which are OEM, in the increased size to fit Nismo rims as recommended, the comparable weights would be 31 and 36 pounds for 245/40-18 and 275/40-18.
