Widest rear tire to fit on 18" x 9.5" w/30mm offset for S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've searched... surprisingly I couldn't get any successful queries. These tires will be used for nismo lm gt4s. I'd like to NOT stagger the wheels, but run on correct, factory camber settings. I'm hoping to get a 255, 265 or 275 on there. Any inputs? Thanks for the help in advance.

well obviously you can fit wider in the back than the front. Ive seen 315s out back and 275s up front, but you dont want to stagger. In that case for streetability you couldnt really go any larger than a 255/40/17 all around. This will easily fit in the back (spacer) and will fit up front as well. If you went any wider (275) then I think you'd put a lot of effort into clearing them up front- Rob

Thanks for the reply Rob, but this width will only be used for the back using 18" wheels, not the 17".

The front wheels will have 18" x 8.5" with 25mm offset. My focus is on getting the widest possible time for both from and back. I'll take your size in consideration.

You don't want to stager yet you are running 8.5 in the front and 9.5" in the rear? do you know what the terms you are using means?
