Thanks Grant,
The only reason why I was thinking about the 245 is that the rs3 are only 160 a tire for the fronts each, but once I get 255 it jumps to 216 a piece.
I know the rears are around 265 each, but I was hoping to save some money on the fronts.
Do you think anyone ever goes bigger than the 255 in front?
Should I just get the 18x8.5 et 44 for the fronts? or you say stick with the 9.5's all around?

Could some one help me out with tire size?
On my 350z, i have front 225/45/18 on 8" wide stock rims. With my drop, im tucking the sidewall a little bit.
I plan on keeping it tucked. If i go with stretched look in the future like 245/45 or 40/18 on 18x10.5 rims, not completely sure on how much stretch look i'll get from that set up though, what's the prefered side wall height? i sometimes feel like 45 profile looks too beefy on my stock set up.
If i go 40 profile, i need to keep my current ride height. Then i'll lose the hellaflush look.
If i go 45 profile, i can dorp the car .5" more. I'll have more hellaflush look but the sidewall might look too beefy. i can't go 40 profile AND drop .5" because the total drop in height would let me scrape my exhaust flange and get stuck before speedbumps.
what do you think i should do?

So it looks like Axis doesnt sell those rivets. Does anyone know of any wheel companies that will sell them? They are pretty generic caps that have an allen head. I have seen them on other wheels, including a set of Tsw Jarama's. They may not be identical, but close enough for my likings. You cant even see them unless you really look. I am only missing them on rear wheel that has a large lip so the face is towards the center of the wheel.

Hey i been seen a lot of people with this setup 245/35/20 FRONT and 275/30/20 REAR why is that?
I will go with 30 all around!!! tell me what you think and if is any reason why some folks do this?
And also any suggestions for a black rim with a stainless steal lip with an small offset less or equal to 25+ i`m trying to get more than 4 inch lip....
