255 on a 17x8? 235 on 17x7.5? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

For my S14 SE:

I purchased these tires for OEM 350z touring wheels and tires separately (17x7.5 w/235/40 +30 and 17x8 255/40 +33), and I know they will fit but how bad is the bulge going to be? Anyone have any pics? I have searched tirelessly, but I must be the only idiot running these tires. I'm not into the stretched look, so that is why I didn't go significantly smaller.

Thanks in advance,

-Daniel

i doubt anyone here runs those sizes...

teh 235's you can always put for the rears, and then sell/trade the 255's for smaller width tires

i believe the stock z rims that you have are 225 fronts and 235 rears

I put 245s on a 7 1/2... it buldged out some...but not terrible...

Fitment deffinitely isn't optimum though...

ugh.

lmao @ 255 on a 8 and 245 on a 7.5j

put the 235's on the 8's and get some 215 or something for the 7.5s

I guess I could mount them, see how they look and do the switcheroo that was mentioned.

Thanks for the replies,
