dude im running the same size and width rims on my r33 and i have 235/40ZR18 on the fronts and 285/30ZR18 on the rears, and im running tein coilovers and the car sits pretty low. So i dont see any reason you cant run the same width tyres on your 34 maybe even 275/30ZR18 on the rears, And i was running 19s on my old r34 with 245/35ZR19 all around.

235/40R18 and 255/40R18 will do fine. 235 will sit comfortably on the 8.5" and 255 will have the slightest stretch that you may not even notice. will be much cheaper in those sizes too since they are more common in 18" tyres. a 285/30R18 in the rear would be a bit of over kill plus heaps of money. a 30 profile is pretty thin also so ride will be hard and are more prone to damaging the rim due to hardly having a sidewall (pot holes, rocks, turning hard).

if you dont mind stretch on the back you can even do 235/40R18 all round as i'm doing on my 17x9.5 rim i have 235/45R17 and they are stretched but not too much. with a 40 profile it'll be a bit more stretched but should be fine.

the places you called must have idiots working if they have no idea on what fits those sizes.

i would steer clear of any shop that cant answer such a simple question or has to look it up on a "fitment system"

235 40 fronts and 265 or even 275 35 18 rears. or 285 30.

but your most common and economic option would be the 23540 and 265 or 275/35..

so how come the back tyre has a lower profile?? stock 34s have xxx/45/17. also ive seen on my front i have 235/45/17 but my backs are 255/40/17. does the lower profile do anything??
