Im about to buy new rims/tires for my A/C.Im torn between tire decisions right now..

I'm looking for performance tires + ones that look great. The one on my mind is the Falken FK-452's. The only problem with them is that they are SUPER low profile. (They look cool and all). But i plan to track at least a few times this summer. That being said, im worried that these tires will last a month or two on the track.

So, Should i look into something that is more geared towards the track? Or will all street/track use tires be destroyed on the track?Thanks.

Also, im looking at 18 x 8 rims, what's the bolt pattern on our cars?

I got falken 452's with my enkei ZR-1's (225/45/18) with 18x8 wheels, I don't think they are too super low profile. Btw go to tires23 best prices ever and the dude there knows his ****. I might have the wheels and tires on this weekend I can take pics for you if you like.

Do you still need that lowering done on your car spock? lol. I know its a bit late, but im finally done my exams and have time for the forum.

Anyways, im going to do 18x8's too, do they look nice? can i get some pics?

Also, since you're in toronto too, why dont you come down to the battle endless track day? This will be my first time at a track (if i end up going). Come down as well!

Whats original offset and what offset are you running Spock?

BTW, that link you sent me said that positive offset is generally what FWD cars run, does that mean the STOCK altima coupe is running on a positive offset?

Thanks alot guys.

I know the rim/tire thread has been bashed to sh** but i appreciate it.
