On the right is Steve's (en4cer) 03.5 Nismo Sedan sitting on chrome 05-06 sedan sport 18s. In comparison, my 05 LS has coupe 19s, and the black 03.5 in the middle has 20s' with a polished lip.

I would say 10-15mm for those. 5 would barely be noticed.

It depends on what you're looking for. Do you want staggered or the same size all around?

Those wheels are all 18x8" so I prefer to be able to rotate. I'm running 235/45 which is the stock diameter and the same size that comes on the Sedan Sport 18's. I love the tires, but tire selection is definitely a drawback.

You could also go with 245/45 all around or 225/45 front and 255/40 rear. I think the 255 starts pushing on being too wide for an 8" wheel though.

There are tons of tire combinations being run though so I'm sure others will have input.

i just bought a set of yoko envigor 234/45/18 and will be putting them on, on monday. Ill see how they sit. My current set is the yoko advan sport F 225/50 and R 245/45 I like how they sit right now but i cant afford to keep on replacing the rears. So i decided on 235/45 for rotating purposes.

I will be running 350z suspension and don't want to worry about rubbing, however I guess I could easily roll the fenders if need be.

Staggered or Non Staggered, I really don't care either way. Just want to be able to toss 3 people in the back seat and not rub all over the place. Someone mentioned they were rubbing with a 245/45??? I was kinda suprized to see that.

Could I go 255/40 all around or is that too much? Anyone got any pics of 245/45 all around?

I have a set of 225/45 and 245/40's lying around the garage, I was thinking about running those.

245/45 in the rear will rub with people in the car. I sometimes even rub without people in the car also. You are better off just rolling the fenders just to be on the safe side

I guess a set of 255/45/18 all around would be way too big then.

Not only would that probably rub, but it wouldn't look good. The tires would look too big.

^ I'm kinda leaning that way, the diameter is actully less than the stock 17s according to a tire size calculator. Have you always run that size in the rear, trying to see how that would look by looking at some of your old pics.

^ are you lowered on anything?

I wanna go lower on my front like an extra 1/2 inch. In currently on z-suspension and was looking to get Tein H Techs... for the higher drop in the front.
