the wheels are (F) 18x8.5 (25mm) (R) 18x9.5 (30mm)
the recomended sizes are (F) 245/40/18, (R) 275/40/18
beside the fact that the stock RE040's suck, what are the other consequences?
stock tires are: ( F) 225/45/18, (R) 245/45/18
the recomended sizes are (F) 245/40/18, (R) 275/40/18

you can run the stockers on there... not the best thing in the world to do since it isnt the greatest rubber... but it works.
here is a picture of stockers on LMGT4's

You can run the stock tires on the Nismo 18s but Nissan say that this will screw with the VDC.
Technically Nissan says you have to have the larger size tires plus
s tune susp, and sways to not screw with the VDC, but Jeff at performance nissan has plenty of experience with these without the s tunes and sway to make a judgement.
Even Jeff recommend the larger tires with the Nismo 18s.
Just what I have heard.
I have had my Nismo 18s for two weeks, with
245/40/18 and 275/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 all around.
Best change that I could make the car. Better grip and better handliing. Love me.
See ya.
