Well im not sure what tire size to run on my 18inch rims. They are the ADR spades with a 42mm offset. But yeah im going to get the H&R wheel spacers in a 5mm offset or so. But yeah the rims are 7.5 inces wide. I was thinking maybe a 245/40/18 in the rear, and a 225/40/18 in the front? I just want it to look good an i plan to get the nismo side skirts an front bumper for my s14 then lower the car about 1 inch or so. An i dont want a big wheel gap so any tire size you people think i should get would be great.

Rule number one is, do all the other work FIRST, then find tires to fit the car. Don't try to fit the car to the tires. Much easier to swap rubber than it is to swap body kits, suspension, etc..

All things considered, your tires can last literally twice as long, if you have the same size F/R and are able to rotate them from front to rear regularly.

I'd say about a 33x12.5xR15 BFG Mud Terrains... that should be a good all around tire.

Oh wait... sorry wrong forums.....

In all seriousness....

Check out the tires/wheels/suspension forums here... Chet and Grant have a great thing going on there. 245/40/18 is going to fill up your gap pretty well, but I'd ask the mods over there... that's their speciality.
