Tires with g35 rims
Hey CL club,
I just got a cheap set of of g35 18x8 2003-2007 (similar pics below) rims to spruce up my 95 Ls. I want to keep the ride as close to stock as possible. Could someone give me some advice on what tires to put on them? Thanks in advance.

the stock tire size that came with those wheels are 225/50 and 245/45 staggard.
the stock tire size on your 95 LS is 225/60/16 all around.
according to:

the correct tire size w/o the least speedometer error is 245/45/18 for your LS.

clearance check for you
you should run a 225/45/18 all around if you want the stock feel (g35's run 225/45/18 in the front and 245/45/18 in the rear for stock). i ran a 40 series sidewall because i don't want the fat tire look and 35 series on an 18" just looks too small/thin and i'd be on the floor with those.

this is coming from my own perspective..
i bought these g35 wheels without tires. i knew that i was going to have some camber wear for driving slammed so it didn't really matter to me which brand of tires i went with, so i got the cheapest i could find. 225/40/18 delinte tires all around for 340 mounted, balanced, and installed. it depends what your situation is really. if you plan to daily drive your car and you aren't lowered or anything, i say go with nice tires if you want some performance too.
if you plan to slam the hell out of it/run stretch/camber etc etc.. dont even think about nice tires because it'll just be a waste of money because you're paying more for nice tires that you'll be eating through quickly.

this was one of a rear pair of NT555s that went just a hair under 25k @ -3.5* camber and a 1" stretch. could have gone longer if i hadnt taken the car drag racing on them to finish them off lol.

flipping the tires equates to dismounting the tires and mounting them on the rim on the opposite side of the axle so the worn side is facing out. (non-directional tires can be mounted on the same side with the worn side out).
that's why running assymetrical tires on a stanced car is pointless as you only get ~1/2 the treadlife.
