Title: 18\" wheels on c4 - tyre sizes
Post by: 23BigA on February 23, 2007, 10:57:38 PM

Hi guys, Just enquiring what width 18" wheels you may have on your c4 and what size/brand tyres. Currently I have 17" ZR1 rep wheels and I am looking at some 18" ZR1's, Thanks in advance Andrew.

Hi 23BigA, welcome to the forum.
I would think 18x9.5 wheels with 275/35-18 tyres would be a nice fit.

Gday 23bigA
i run 295 on the back and 275 on the front they are a billet alloy rim that were custom made for the car.you said that you want to run 18in ZR1 rims but they dont make such a rim so i am not sure what kind of rims you are looking at?
cheers boschvette

Hi guys,
Thanks for you replies. I have done a little research and 275/35/18 will fit fine on a c4.

I am finding it easier to get 275/40/18 tyres which are only that little bit higher but unsure if they will be 100% but would asume they should be okay??

Once I have sorted out what I am doing my 17" silv zr1 replicas with 275/40zr17 federal ss595 tyres will be up for sale.

I have owned my blk 88 drop top since April 04. I finally got it registered Dec 05. It is not my daily driver(300zxtt), wish it was as it doesn't come out enough. I will post some pics up asap.  Andrew..
