225 50/18 is the correct conversion. 60s are too tall. I run the 225 50/18s with the Sport brakes with no issues.

Thanks tree. I was hoping the 60s would be short enough but back to the drawing board.

So I'm reviving this post and think I will buy these 350Z's stock rims and put on some "snow" tires on all 4 just in case I need to drive the Z this Winter, the question is that I have the sports package and hope that these rims fit my '13Z, and at $400 I hope they do,

From what I've seen around other threads and responses here, I hear that the base wheels (I think the 350 wheels as well) will clear the brakes. There is another member on here running 18x8's all around and is having no issues clearing the brakes.

I actually picked up a set of wheels from the rx8 to put on.

Worst case a set of spacers should give you a little extra clearance if you run into issues.

I have some track pack 350Z wheels, 18's, and there is more clearance then the 19's... so depending which 350Z wheels you should be fine.

I just run the Hankook Ipikes, but I go through a set a winter due to the amount of mileage I put on. They've been a great tire in snow. I run a 225/50/18 in the font and a 245/45/18 rear.
