370z tire help

If you aspire to have a sweet set of rims, might as well get them and use them for fair weather wheels and relegate the stock wheels to winter use.

If not, I'd just pick up a cheap second hand set of base 18" wheels and use them for winter wheels. They will fit over the sport brakes if your car has them. (According to this thread: Base OEM Wheel and Sports Pkg Brake)

i actually like your idea. i think mine has sports brakes becuase mine is sports package.

can i fit winter tires on stock wheels? Can help me with the specification of what wheels and tires i should get?

Here is the question that no one is answering. can i drive with winter tires on a regular day? bcz weather is pretty unpredictable and we get summer weather even in the winter

Stock 18" wheels will clear the sports brake kit. I used them with Blizzaks for rare winter drives. Summer tires are terrible\dangerous under 40° and I have plenty of nice cold days I can drive without snow and slush,so I prefer to have two sets of wheels and tires. I don't want to give up the performance of summer tires the rest of the year. Winter tires will not give you ultimate performance, but can be driven in warm weather without any issues. Just don't try to push them like summer tires. I usually swap wheels around this time of year and again in April. There are plenty of days that the temps jumps from 20s to 60s and it works out fine.

I enjoy the Z so much that it's hard for me to choose to "stow the Z" for up to 4-5 months a year even though I have that option. Love my big Rays, but I strap on a winter set of 18" Enkei wheels & Blizzak tires and go at it year 'round. (2013 and creeping up on 110,k miles now.)

Do what you enjoy doing.
