Tyres size seems a bit odd. You either want 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 for the 18's or 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 for the 19's.

 

Other tyre sizes wont be beneficial to the handling/traction control.

 

Good luck with the hunt.

The size's i put above are the OEM (standard) sizes, so they are what the car is configured too. You should definitely stick to these.

 

245/40 is different to 245/45. In this case the side wall is smaller giving the tyre a smaller rolling radius. This will throw your speedo out amongst other things.

Use the above tyre size calculator to help you out. Anything over a 2.5% change isn't advised.

225/45/18 and 245/45/18 are the standard sizes bud :wink:

 

I have Falkens and find them a great tyre for the Z. For £500 your best of keeping your Rays as they are pretty decent tbh. To get a better wheel your looking at £800+ unfortunately.

Got some rota grids sitting in the shed which in the next couple of weeks hopefully be up for sale. Have a look under the modification section for my excuse of a build thread :-p
