Ready for new tires now on my 12' Max but don't know what to go with. I like the Continental DWS but still looking for another tire choice. Another thing I need opinions on is for size. I have the 18x8" V double spoke style wheels with Factory tire size 245/45/18. I'm a noob when it comes to tires so don't bash on me too much lol.. So opinions on possibly wider like 255 and a 40 profile and a little stretch to the tire as well.. will this have any effects on my car? If stretch requires a smaller tire then ill pass on that because the current track is small enough. Ill post a pic of the type of stretch I like.

 

My current wheels on the max, i actually took this pic lol.. friend wanted to see what they looked like on his Z compared to his 17s

 

Stretch requires narrower tires. The opposite of getting a wider tire.

245 is generally the widest tire recommended for an 8" wide wheel.
If you go wider, you increase side wall roll over during cornering.

The DWS is a great tire.

 

Darn! The other day at my Nissan dealer I seen a new 2014 370z with 275 rear that had a some stretch to it, 19x10 rim.. Anyways how about profile, 245/40?

 

If you want to change your wheels, you can get some stretch.

You want the 245/45/18. Keep your speedometer accurate.

 

What size of wheel is recommendable if i dont want to lower my car and still would look nice with the wheels? 20"? Suppousing im getting low profiles tires with the wheels also.

 

All wheels look better when the car is lowered.

If you want safe, comfortable, every day driving...
A 20x8.5 et35-40 with 245/35/20 and that will have vertical sidewalls.

The same goes for a 19" wheel and 245/40/19.

You can get into wider wheels, different offsets, stretching tires more...but it gets more complicated.

 

I already know what wheels Im getting in a couple months 19x10 rear and 19x9 front..

 

I would go with a 255/40/19 front and a 275/35/19 rear

where do you live? because if you're not seeing snow then don't go with the dws, just go with the dw, and also a budget for tires would be nice.
