Was checking to see if anyone is running a similar set up, 245/40 on 40et set of 8s all the way around. I have a set of staggered factory 18s now but have a buddy selling these and think they should work just wasn't sure about them tracklineing with 245s on all four corners. Wondering how they would look compared to the stock setup I have.

My intuition says you should be fine, but I'd be very interested in hearing from someone with experience. Could you get 2 spacers for the rears, just to get them a little wider than the fronts?

The wheels will be sunken in about 1/2" more than the oem coupe 18x8's.

Keep the stock wheels you have.

I would like to but I'm redoing my suspension because every damn bushing is shot I looked at the pattern wear and one of the rear wheels is actually got a slight hop in it.

You can run 245/40s on 18" rims without any issues. By et are you're referring to the offset, if so 40 isn't good! Offsets for our Infinitis s/b at least in the mid 20s. Don't waste your $$ on wheels that don't fit and require spacers to work, that's never a good deal!

Offset for factory 18" is 30. 40 will work. Wheels drastically change the look of the car. I don't think this will be a good look, but it will work.
