To Those w/18" Coupe Wheels
What size tires are you running?
What type of drop do you have?
I'm looking to purchase some and want to see what size tire I can fit on the wheel.
ALso, are they 18x8 +33 offset? I've seen a few different posts with some different specs.

i have the coupe 18s with the stock factory tires which are 225/45 front and 245/45 rear. i am also on the z-suspension which is a 1inch drop all around. the rear tires give the car an agressive look. but i am planning to go with a 235/45 all around so i can rotate them. the ride is a little bit stiffer but the handling has improve alot. i will get pictures posted once i get home

^ its NOT recommended to rotate these wheels as the tire widths are different front to rear, regardless of what car they're on, sedan or coupe.
my 2nd set of wheels are the same as what's being discussed, but i have mine powercoated gloss black. i run dunlop direzza DZ101's in stock sizes (225/45/18 front; 245/45/18 rear) and my sedan is lowered on tokico d-spec shocks for 350z's and eibach pro-kit springs, also for a 350z.
my camber with this suspension is about -2 all around and the car sits perfect with these wheels - as flush as possible without running spacers. i can get them more flush, but they're good as-is.
the specs of these wheels are as follows:
front + rear - 18x8 +30
factory tire sizes (like what im running):
225/45/18 front
245/45/18 rear
IMO, 235's all around will fit, but dont look right... again IMO

You're probably thinking of the OEM 19's, which are 19x8.0 +30 and 19x8.5 +33

This is exactly what I did; they all come ALMOST flush with the fender; I'm thinkin of getting a small spacer to make it so.
lowered on eiback sport pro's; it's a nice drop, everything looks good.

i wasnt addressing rotation. they dont look right to me when running symmetric widths in anything taller than 40 series profile on a sedan. hence, the IMO remark.
if OP wants to run them in 235/45 and hes happy with the look AND he can rotate, problem solved.
and just clarify - Eibach does not make a lowering spring kit called "sport pros". there's pro-kit or sportline. with pro-kit on a sedan and 235/40/18s - yes, the car looks great as Pska says.

I have a full 350z track suspension including sway bars and i sit flush with the fender.
i think its the best tire size for the sedan, to minimize the change in ride quality.
I will have my coupe 18's for sale soon! No tires with TPMS and Centercaps. Minor rash in one of the fronts, small scratch on 1 rear. Everything else is used but fine. PM me if interested. BTW the tires on it before i removed them were the stock size 225-445-18 front and 245-45-18 rears.
