that's how wide i usually factor my tread width in for tires/to match the overall width of the wheels.

I just looked at those tire prices. Oh my Allah! That's a spicy meatball.

Kinda, but 275 18's would be cheaper.

I'm running 245/45 & 275/40 18's now....good ride & handling.
You go to another level with the 19's

Hmm... Well, son of a motherless goat, those look fine to me. No cons?

I plan to go 19 at some point, but it might be a couple years.

I cried inside when I ordered my MPSS's, especially the rears 295/30/19.

These could make me happy until I can go meaty. Thanks for the info. Sorry for the thread hijack.

That's specs for the OEM Nismo wheels:

19 x 10.5 +23 R

S-Tube/Sport package specs:

19 x 9.0 +47 F
19 x 10.0 +30 R

Might as well go with the 275/40R18s to replace your original 245/45R18 size. They are the perfect size since they are within 0.1% of your original overall diameter.

You can also move your rear 245/45R18s to the front to replace your 225/50R18s. That's what I would suggest in order to make a meatier setup that matches the Sport package.

Why did you think you had to widen your wheels in order to install not much wider tires on them? There's many, many reasons I wouldn't recommend widening wheels...mainly safety, but other than that it also changes your offset to a more positive one (higher number) and it ruins your wheels and wastes your money.
