Message You could run the 255/40/18 all around so you could rotate them (yes, the 8.5" with the 255 can go on the front) or you could run a small stagger with 255fr/265rr, or a larger stagger with 245fr/265rr.

Some 350Z-ers do opt to put a 275 on the rear 8.5" wheel, but it is out of the recommended size from the tire manufacturers. You will also see a slight tire bulge, which you may or may not like. If it were MY daily driven 300ZX, I'd run 255 all around or 255fr/265rr.

With all that said, I have a spare set of those wheels, so if you wanted to have four 18x8s or four 18x8.5s, email me to discuss it.
