Will a F: 255/45/18 R: 285/40/18 Setup work?

Shin Beats · 04-13-2016, 01:07 PM

Long story short, bought some wheels from a buddy with a G35. Swapped them on, ABS, Brake, VDC OFF, etc. lights came on. Found out the hard way the Z likes a slightly shorter tire on the rear than the front. I used this chart to try to matchup the correct tires before i purchase new fronts: http://www.importtire.com/itphotos/doc-od-ref.pdf

So before I go through this again, I just want some confirmation that setup will work on my car without screwing with the sensors.

If you mean ABS, I don't see a problem here with your sizes, personally had 255/40 295/35 19 wheels recently and didn't find any issue in track session (just fuel starvation "-_-)

Hey man! Are you on stock suspension? Do you have any side shots with that tire setup?

Depends which stock tires you are referring to.

On the base wheels about the widest you can go is 245/45 front and 275/40 rear.
