Y23DRH Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 looking for some alloys 18s or 19s with tyres to fit my 350z roadster gt or 2x 225 40 18 and 2x 265 40 18 budget is up to £500 let me no what you have must have good tread ideally matching tyres all round Quote
370Ad Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Tyres size seems a bit odd. You either want 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 for the 18's or 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 for the 19's. Other tyre sizes wont be beneficial to the handling/traction control. Good luck with the hunt. Quote

Good luck with the hunt. i went to my local tyre shop they offerd 245 40 18 maxxis tyres and i have 245 rears but said 265 would be better ??? Quote
370Ad Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 The size's i put above are the OEM (standard) sizes, so they are what the car is configured too. You should definitely stick to these. 245/40 is different to 245/45. In this case the side wall is smaller giving the tyre a smaller rolling radius. This will throw your speedo out amongst other things. http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator.htm Use the above tyre size calculator to help you out. Anything over a 2.5% change isn't advised.

370Ad Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 are the standard sizes bud :wink: I have Falkens and find them a great tyre for the Z. For £500 your best of keeping your Rays as they are pretty decent tbh. To get a better wheel your looking at £800+ unfortunately. Quote
Humpy Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Got some rota grids sitting in the shed which in the next couple of weeks hopefully be up for sale. Have a look under the modification section for my excuse of a build thread :-p Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Why you changing the rays though, great looking alloy and nice and light weight.? yea there really nice rims just looking for tyres really but if im going to pay £500 for tyres might aswell try get some alloys with them Quote
Humpy Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Ah right fair enough. Good luck with finding alloys with tyres with that budget though and not sure what sort of prices Alex is after but might be worth looking here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64822-more-wheels-and-tyres/ Quote
