@@that350zdude6 the offset is definitely needed to know if they'll fit well. I have 265/35R18s on 18x9.5+40 on my BRZ and the tires fit very square, so a 275 on a 10.5 would probably be closer to a small stretch, but different tire manufacturers fit differently for a given nominal size. I know the Nismo 370Z has 285 width tires on the back from factory, so taking an uneducated guess yours should fit

I can't think of one reason to have wide rims in search of less contact patch by using an undersize tire - just buy smaller rims.

Buy wheels to suit the tyre size you want instead of just making them fit. Unless you are more interested in looks vs performance. If you prefer the former, then don't complain when you crash.

Would I be able to run a 265/70 (stock 06 Silverado 1500) on a 17x8 (the stock rim is 17/7) so the stretch shouldn’t be that big of a difference right?

My stock wheel is 6.5 and I’m looking at a 7 wheel is that half inch a big deal or should it be perfectly fine?

Karate chop on articulate :)))...Man I've seen like stage 8 stretches in Japan lol

I want the Stage O straight up and down look with the sides walls as close as possible to the same height on the LS400. Comfort is most important to me. The LS will be lowered but not slammed. Rims are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Tire setup choice and these are the tire size I have access to: 235-40/19 and 245-40/19. Sidewall difference is 4mm (245 is taller tire) 225-40/19 and 255-35/19. Side difference is only .75mm so they are basically the same height and diameter. My worry is the 225 on the 8.5 rim will not give the straight up and down look. Thr 235 and 255 will be a good setup also with a 3.75mm difference in side amd .3mm difference in diameter. However what i have access to they are different brands and different designs. Your thoughts please!! Thank you in advance for all your help.

Shorter tire height , better acceleration, speedometer will read fast. Taller tire height,more top speed, speedometer will read slow. Altering your tire height has the same effect as swapping the ring and pinion in the differential, and is cheaper.

Matt Parker not sure if i‘m using the right terminology. Not a native speaker. You can’t put a 17 inch tire on an 18 inch wheel because the bead that keeps the tire on the wheel is partly made of steel. And steel won’t stretch. So if you want to run an 18 inch wheel you will need new tires. In this case 225/40R18 (wich a run aswell). My wheels have a 7,5 inch width wich is basically this square look. If I understood Alex right you could go up to 9 inch on this tire (for a stage 3 stretch) before you get problems with debeading
