need help finding wide 18" tires for NT03+M

Ok guys,

I've searched and done my calculations but to no avail on these rims:

18 X 9.5/10.5" Enkei NT03 wheels; offsets are +27 front, +30 rear

- for a 2004 G35 coupe w/ 500 whp

Looking for the best street tires that will fit and hook up with that much power. The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 summer tire is my first choice (unless someone knows of something better all-around for dry and wet):

275/35 front, 295/35 rear

I'd prefer 305/35 rear, but I can't find that size.

They do come in 315/30, but that's actually a smaller overall diameter [EDIT: and I doubt it will fit without significant rolling and/or spacers].

I do want to be able to use VDC so want to keep the stagger in spec as much as possible.

I do NOT want any rubbing issues.

I hope not to have to roll fenders or use spacers...

Any help appreciated. If you recommend a different tire brand, please let me know what size/stagger you would recoomend.

Thanks!

Thanks - will look into it.

The new pole position tires might work as:

285/35 rear, 285/30 front - would prefer more meat on the back though.

Not sure how well it would look or perform...

Have you considered Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s?
