Pics of stock OEM 18s with Michelin PSS wanted

orion32773 · 02-13-2013, 01:00 PM

All,

I posted in another forum about some tire issues I was having. Basically I have some mismatched tire brands due to the shop outfitting the rears and not checking if the brand actually made fronts (225/50/18)....which they don't make it turns out. I am not very car savvy so to keep things simple I just want to stick with stock sizes. I know I can experiment but I'd prefer not to right now. As of now I have PSS on the front and some Dunlop fierce instinct tires on the back. I am not a huge fan of the beefy PSS fronts but it's too late for that so I was considering getting some PSS for the rears to match. Do any of you out there have any photos of stock rear 18 wheels (2009-2012 Z) with some michelin pilot super sports (245/45/18). Post em if you would be so kind....would like to see how they look on someone else's car....the front's are so beefy they remind me of lightning mcqueen from the movie Cars. ;-)

What size did they put on for your front? You'd have to go over by about the same amount to get the same beefy look. Using stock sizes, they are going to fit pretty normally. They do sit outside of the lip a bit though. It'd help to post your front size and/or post pics of them.
