Default 255 front 265 rear on stock 18" ?

I can buy a set of 255/35/18 and 265/35/18 Pilot Sports Pretty cheap. Well the fronts fit? Or is it to wide? Will it rub? I know the rears will fit . My other option is nitto nt 555 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rears. Again this is on the stock 18's. Need some advice quick!!!

both your fronts and backs will fit... but they will not be the correct diameter

I would go with the Nittos...

even then, be wary that a 275 tire is not recommended for stock rim widths (minimum recommended rim size is 9")

Thanks Strife350z. I was thinking the same thing. I was reading last night an older magazine about 1g in a 350z they ran 275/40/18 front and back but it looks like you need a 30 offfset rim. I know the 275 is a bit wide for an 8" rim but discount tires says it will fit and they will warrantee it.

I know the rear will fit I was more worried about the front but thanks for the input anyways. I am not sure is 255/35/18 fronts would rub.
