I know this has been talked about alot but Im still confused. Im going to be putting 18' on my 350z what is the correct rim and tire to put on. I see alot of diffrent stuff and some people list the tire sizes without the rims and sometime they list the rim size without the tire size.
Need help Thanks, E
ps. offsets too please

GY-Z

itz really depends on how wide u gonna go.
but if u dont want to retard the VDC ..stays in 40's profile for 18s.
and i think around +25 for the front and around +30 should be a proper offsetz for 8.5 and 9.5, or at least it'll fit pretty nice .

mirage328

Can I buy 8.5 and 9.5 evertime I look at say discoutn tires direct all four rims are either 8.5 or 9.5.

mirage328

can i put 8.5 or 9.5 on both front and back?

GY-Z

i dont c any reason why u cant do that.
itz just ur personaly preference.
and 8.5 fornt and 9.5 rear is a commen width.
u can even put 9.5 all around.
again, itz just ur personal preference.
the main thing u want to be careful with is choosing the offestz and tire.
hope this help.

you could go with offsets as low as +10-15 in the front and +15-20 in the back... gives you a more aggressive look

and 245/40/18, 275/40/18 on 18x8.5, 18x9.5 is the "norm"

Can I go with a .25 and.30 off set on the 245/40/18, 275/40/18 on 18x8.5, 18x9.5?

I recently ordered a new set of 18's (staggered, ofcourse) from Todd @ Discount Tire Direct and he was extremely helpful finding out what would look and fit nicely on the car. Very helpful to work with and they really do know their stuff. Wheels will be here tomorrow and I'll be installing them tomorrow night.

yup, that works... though the rear could stick out a bit more (e.g. higher offset)... but offsets are all a matter of taste, so look at the pics in the gallery for cars w/ similar setups... if you like it, then go for it

good luck

i think u mean +25 and +30?
if that is the case, yes u can.
and thatz seems the "appropriate" set up .
