On my old car (2003 350z) i used to run 18x10 rims all around with 255 in front and 285 rear, no problems what so ever! Like someone said earlier as long as you are not trying to put a 275 tire on a 8 inch rim you should be " A ok"

Hey guys I see that u r all running LC818 non-staggered 19x10 +38...and it sounds like the 255/265 tire setup keeps u from having any rubbing issues??? Man I LOVE this concave look front and back!!! Can any of you (or all of you) post pics of your setup along with how your suspension is set up as I plan to run this initially on the stock set up and the only pics I can find are below. This car is running non-staggered 19x10 +38 and has the 255/265 tire setup...it does look lower than stock on BC Coliovers...like I said I plan to run mine stock to begin with and want to make sure this set up would work...thanks.

Default New WedsSport SA-10R wheels

I've put off buying aftermarket wheels for a long time now, but I may just have to get the new WedsSport SA-10R. If I get it I will run 18x9.5 +45 all around and mount Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. It would be either 255/40R18 or 275/35R18 front and 285/35R18 rear. IMO the wheels look great, they are reasonably light at 20.4 lbs each, and they are only about $1350 for all 4 wheels ($2000 for the blue/black color).

I think 275/35R18 front and 285/35R18 rear would be a great combo, and with the money I saved vs buying custom monoblock forged wheels I could install an OS Gikken diff.

Default Ssr gt v03

Another option is the SSR GT V03, which is also available in 18x9.5 +45. It is only a little more expensive than the SA-10R. I haven't been able to find published wheel weights anywhere, but I saw vendor speculation that an 18x9.5 would be about 22 lbs.

on my time attack isf
i run non staggered fitment
10.5 wheels 295 tyres all round
before this setup we had 265's on 9.5" wheels and seem to produce alot of understeer in the tight stuff
after changing to 295's and 10.5 wheels in the front
the car became very neutral and easy to drive when pushed hard
hardly no understeer and no oversteer
this is straight from my driver
