245/40R18 Falken 912's, is what I'm running. Pretty much a performance all season tire, doesn't grip as good as the UHP tires but, it does it's job on the street.

Nexen tires are rubbish. Korean made. Had nexen n2000 on a 300zx and it gripping sux balls. I had a pair of nexen n7000, brand new tires and just I gave it to my friend. After he drove on it for a couple of days, he hated them as well.

What size rim? Depends on what you are doing. If its just street driving there are lots of tire options open. Get a brand name tire thats on sale and has a profile you like.

Doing track days and/or auto slalom, that narrows things down. Bridgestone RE-11, Direzza Z1 starspec, Advan AD08, Kumho XS, Hankook RS-3 and Toyo R1R are great extreme performance tires. RE-11's are best all round and by far the best in the wet.

I run Hankook Z214 for dry track and Conti Xtreme DW for wet track and street. Conti's are better than the RE-11's in the wet but no where near as good in the dry.
