Upgrading to 18" 350z v1 track wheels, have tire questions

Been a day on my DWS....
They ride smooth, no vibration and are AWESOME in the wet. been pouring all morning and i've been hitting puddles all day and it just glides right on through.
Can't wait to see how they do in snow.
i know most guys here don't care about that sort of stuff, but a lot of guys do use their cars year round in which case they are good high performance all-seaons to run.

will not fit front... I've tried to mount my 265/40 on but no go. Unless you work with a spacer and camber i dont think it will happen but really 265 is OVERKILL. I think the average HP on this entire board is like 300whp or less. 245 is more then enough for the fronts.
And i do have a set of NON-stag track wheels all 18x8.5 =D

I dont know it some camber will make it work. I know i attempted to mount and it wasn't even close to the studs, the suspension blocks it so i gave up.
I hate having someone in the backseat. Rubs WAY too much. But mines rubs on the EVAP canister and not the fender. I'm going 245/45 all around now since i got the non-stag setup. I had 235/45 265/40 when i had the stag setup. Loved it but them pilot sport PS2 are EXPENSIVE!!!!!

The tire selection is definitely limited with 235/45, but there are a few good ones. I've been happy with my Goodyear Eagle GT's. There are also Conti DW and DWS along with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
I did have to wait two months for the Goodyears to be in stock though so 245/45 might be the way to go.

Forgot about the Goodyears, but a couple of reviews/comparisons I saw rated the 760 Sports a little higher. The Conti DWS was just being released when I bought tires, and I didn't want to buy a new tire (new to the marketplace). I'm also not a big fan of tires with multiple tread compounds.
I've been happy with the Goodyears so far, but I haven't driven them in the snow yet. The main reason I went with them was because of price...not to mention they look sweet.

If you must stay with 235/45R18, Pirelli PZero Nero summer tires have killer grip. I've got them on my 18X8 rims. They're just about worn out and have about 21K miles on them with 3 auto-x events (about 30 runs total). Not bad for a street tire. These are the same tires that come on the new Mustang GTs and allow them to achieve well over .90 gs on the skidpad. These are the real deal. These are probably the best 235/45R18s you can get for the money (~$220ea).
