![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi all, I just got a set of used Enkei RPF-1 s in 17x9, +35 offset all around(thanks Pat Saunders!!), and I am wondering what size tires I should be using. Also, what brands does everyone recommend for cheap performance tires?
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
peace

It depends, if you want to keep the diameter as close to the stock set up you would go 255/45 front and 265/45 rear

Also, what difference does it make if I keep the diameter close to stock?
Thanks

But then, if I lower the car, won't there be more a chance of the tires rubbing on the fender well? (I really don't want to roll the fenders)

On my Enthusiast model I have run four different tire sizes and diameters. I don't think it matters much on a car with TCS, mainly looks, fittiment and gearing. I have heard stories about it affecting VDC operation, so you'll have to investigate if you have VDC. So far I've used 26.68, 26.25, 25.68 and 24.72 diameters and haven't noticed anything different except gearing.
