Mine are basically the same size. Between the smaller wheels and larger sidewalls, the ground clearance is more or less the same on my setup.

For my '11 370z with the sports package, I put on 18x8.5 Enkei Tuning Raijin wheels, with 225/50R-18 Michelin X-Ice Xi3 XL tires. The wheels look and perform great, and the tires are still good after...

There's the right way to add assistive tech, and the wrong way. SyncRev and ABS are examples of the right way. Lane correction assistance is the wrong way.

My high performance summers do great in the rain. I’m a lot more concerned with water getting into the intakes than I am with hydroplaning during the summer.
