Would like some suggestions on what tire sizes i may get for a wider set.

18" x 8.0" (front)
18" x 9.0" (rear)

Current tire stock set: 225/50WR18 / 245/45WR18

Not sure on the offset, but everything is still stock. No springs or spacers.
Will most likely add spacers in future when its time to get new tires.

Is anyone running stock 18's on a sport package z? I'm trying to build my winter set early. I was thinking stock 18" with Bridgestone LM-60. My concern is the front caliber is so big it might not fit.

stock 18s clear the sport brakes. In other world markets, thats how they come on the car.

Question just installed my nitto 285/40/18 on the rear, and my brake, abs n traction indicators are on any clue on what's going on?

Well upgraded front and rear tires to 255/45 & 285/40 . Now just need to lower the car and work on suspension.

Did you get the problem fixed?

Yes the problem has been resolved , front tire diameter were to small causing a Christmas tree effect of lights to come on.

They'll fit, only thing is since they are staggered you won't be able to rotate them. Not a big deal they'll still work but if its just a winter set up a square set might be more beneficial/last longer. Just a thought, good luck!

I test fitted some oem 18" 350z wheels on my Nismo. I was just trying to get an idea of what size tires I should go with since I have a set of 18" TC105N's on the way. The tires on the test fit wheels were 245/40 and 275/40. My front lip was literally 2 inches off the ground and I still had about an inch of wheel gap. I was thinking about going with 245/45 and 285/40 so at least my Z would be drivable on the street. Is that too tall of a tire? I'll have about the same overall diameter as if I was stock with 19"s. I'm just worried about the look.. I mean I could go with a smaller profile tire but I'll have to raise the suspension and have ugly wheel gap, but there is no way in hell I can go any lower.

See what I mean? With the test fit wheels with 245/40 fronts my front lip barely off the ground. So do you guys think with my new 18" wheels a 245/45 and 285/40 would look ok?

iamwagz 06-25-2013 09:23 PM

Wow, that's too low. Tbh I think with the Nismo kit you need 19s mate. 18s look good on a stock-ish body, but add a bodykit and you need 19s.

Your Nismo would look great with some Work Kiwami in 19" imo!

martin82, is your set up drivable on the streets? Looks to be pretty low.
