I am going to buy rims and tires for my S14 soon and i was wondering what sizes to buy. I want to get Staggered Sportmax Rims: 18/7.5 and 18/9.5. I want 8 inch front tires and 9.5 inch rear tires but i am not sure what size tires to get. Can any of you post pictures of your S14's with 18 inch rims and state the tire measurements please? The only thing i have come up with is 205's in the front and 245's in the back.

Get a 235 front and a 255 rear. End of story.

If you are way concerned http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

Honestly though. If your going with a 7.5" wheel id do a 225 or 235.For a 9.5" wheel id do a 235-265 tops.

Depending on what width tires you get that will determine aspect ratio.

Check out the wheels and tires section, with a little searching, you should find all the info, pictures, and wheels specs you could ever need for a 240SX.
