Thanks for the feedback. If you had made it to the N. Miami show you would have seen it! 
There is a track event going on this coming Friday:

I should be there... Try and make it out if you can. If you can get one of your customers with an exhaust out too, that'd be awesome. I'd love to hear it.

yeah.. 17-18 is what I was thinking.. .just wanted to see if anyone had any specific recommendations. I think you mentioned you ran on 2IS (non-f) wheels? I might consider that, but would also consider something a little wider.. just not sure what. Not looking to dump a lot of $$

I second that - 245s are plenty wide and have more than enough traction for a stock IS-F. I have the same 245/40/18s but mine are on Volk RE30's which are 18x8.5 and the offset is like +50? I'd turn on the nitrous on 1st gear at the strip so you can get 1.8 second 60' or less.

I'm just wondering how the car will sit on the 18's in the rear with the 19's in the front and the suspension left as-is... so.. now to find a cheap pair of 18's.

he should get much better results than that but with the stock is350 wheel you can fit a 255 even a 265 if you wanted to but also I would want more sidewall on the tires than a 40 series could offer id want atleast a 50 I know people who run 255 65 17 on nitrous 350z's and they get 1.3 60' then talked to them and said they work a lot better with more meat on em
