Message I just had to get a set of Nexen tires for my stock wheels and am wondering what I am going to do 3 or 4 years from now when I need another set. I'm contemplating buying a set now and keeping them in storage.

I am curious how the rest of you are dealing with this. I dont want to run 245 50s because the profile looks huge to me. I am wondering about running 225 45s on my 8.5 wheels because technically the are within spec but will decrease the profile significantly.

In 1991 the NSX came with a 16x8 rear wheel with a 225 50 so thats a possibility, the profile will be very similar to the current size but the meat of the tire is much less.

i think I am eventually going to have to breakdown and put 18s on it, but I hate to give up the factory look.

Thoughts?
