Time to change my tires (Falken Azenis ST115 205/55/16). I'm looking at replacing them with another set of Falkens, maybe the same line or maybe one of the ZE lines. I found, while doing some work on inner fenders, that my wheels (some sort of nissan brand enkeis) are 16x6.5 in the front, havent had a chance to check the back but i don't think they're staggered. I realized this is .5 in smaller in the front and 1.5-.5 smaller in the back. So now i'm trying to decide if i should replace the rims too. I really like the way mine look, but one had a nice little scar on the lip, about 3-4inches long and another looks like it bubbling a little around the center cap. Mainly i want to beable to launch without spinning my wheels for 5 minutes (est. 380bhp at this point), should i get bigger/stock wheels, will some slightly wider tires do the trick or what? Will 225/50/16s fit on 6.5 inch wide wheels? Any tire and wheel suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know at some point i want to get new wheels to make it look really clean, but i didn't really want to for some time until i could afford some that i really want and i don't really like the stock 300zx wheels. Thanks in advance. (BTW i need good dry/wet traction and a z rating with high tread wear rating and it looks like ebay will be my cheapest bet for tires, about $360 with free shipping for a set of 4 falkens)
