Hello,
I'm picking up a set of Nismo LM GT4 wheels (18x8.5 +25 front 18x9.5 +30 rear)
I'm not going for super stretched look, but somewhat undersized with no bulge. I also dont want too much of a stagger, to keep the handling more neutral balanced.
Tein flex coilovers are on the way and will be used with these wheels.
these wheels are for street only. (Drift/ track will be using stock S14 SE wheels with appropriate rubber.)
What would be the best combination for this setup?
Im thinking 225/35/18 front 245/35/18 rear.
Nismo suggests 245/40R18 front 275/40R18 rear- these are 350z sizes and obviously too tall/wide for 240sx application.
would the 35 sidewall work well on s14 with 18" wheels?
anyone else running similar sizes? if so what size tires?
thanks in advance for the advice.

Mike, I would go with those exact sizes that you posted, or you could try 40 sidewalls too. I'm actually planning on getting the exact wheels/offset heh. Did you get the 350Z deal? I'm asking because of the offsets, those are the ones you get with the package (the only way to afford the rims haha). I'm still deciding if I want those or a few others though, please hit me up on AIM and let me know what you think of them, and some pictures, SN is AadosX. BTW, what color, bronze or silver?
