Tire width question
I am autox'ing my G35 frequently, so I've decided to buy a set of wheel with R-compound tires specifically for autox. I'm getting a set of the 18" OEM wheel and I was told on an scca forum that I can put 275-18" tires on the front and 285-18" tires on the back. Can anyone confirm this? This is assumed without rubbing.

oem 18s are 8 inches wide. widest you can go is 255 anything bigger you may be looking at problems

since you're going with R-compounds, you should be able to get away with a 265/40 but that's the absolute widest i'd go. Maybe better off with 255/45

For some argument for and against going with wide tires on narrow rims see: 275/35R18 hoosiers on 18x8's. Ignore the inflammatory posts.
Are you limited to 8" wheels by rules? If not, I would just invest a little more and get wider wheels.

If you go too wide on a narrow wheel it's a waste anyway since some of the contact patch will be given up on bulge. I would stick with 255's.

which wheel are we talkin about here? The OEM COUPE 18" wheels? if so, they are 18x8 all around, only the tires are staggered.
