Please help a newb on tires/susp.

Im going down tomorrow to look at some wheels, Im looking at 18" wheels what would be the best tire size with a sportline drop, and what is the ideal offset. Also how is that spring with the sport suspension. Do I need to upgrade shocks/struts. Any help appreciated, Thx.

I did, it only shows offsets for 19"/ 20" wheels and nothing about this spring, with the factory shock. or proper tire size for 18's. Thx for help though.

18x8, Im planning on lowering the car pretty much as far as I can without coil-overs, sportlines seem to be the way to go unless I use a 350z coupe sportline, but I think that might be to far of a drop. Im sticking with 18's because its more in my price range at the moment. I was thiking a 245/40 tire all around but Im not sure if I would be better off with a 35 series or maybe a 45 series. Any help greatly appreciated I searched the sedan forum but now searching wheels and tires alot more info. Im just looking to get the fender level with the tire. Just out of curiosity does anyone have a pic of a sedan riding on 350z sportlines, or know how far of a drop it will be.

dont settle on wheels just because that is all you can afford at the moment... trust me im on my 3rd set :X

also if you plan on doing future mods try and have some sort of theme in mind, (your wheels will be one of the staples of that theme)

i changed from a more clean stockish look to more road race
