So, I have a set of G35 18'' 7-spokes, and its time to get new tires. However, I wanted to get some opinions of people running them. The stock tire sizes are F-225/45/18 and R-245/45/18, but the rears look a little beefy and could use a little more clearance in the front. Any sugg? What do you guys run?

Also, pics with tires/wheels on S14 would be great!

Thanks.

The 18x8's? Use 235/40/18 front and rear.

Search next time.

Yes, the 18x8's. I did search and read thru all 5 pages of that post and there were many different setups, and didn't get my exact answer. Why do you say a 235/40-18 all around and not a staggered set-up? EDIT* I was thinking something like Fr. 225-40-18 and R- 235/40-18. What do you think? It will be getting coilovers at some point, but is currently at stock ride height...

I appreciate your help and insight.

Oh, that was just my personal preference. I hate the idea of identical size wheels all around, yet different sized rubber on them. The look will not be uniform front to rear as far as how the tire sits on the wheel. Like, you'd have a subtle stretch up front, but then a meaty setup in the back. Kinda mismatching and not complimentary, IMO.

If you had staggered sized wheels, I would have recommended staggered tire sizes.
