Tires size- help!

[CrazyNSX]

Hi,
I just bought a 91' NSX. The car is not stock. It has a complete exhaust (manifold included), suspensions and wheels. This last item is the big problem. The car has 17/18 wheels. The tires are 215/40/17 and 285/30/18!!!!!!!
Isn't this huge??? The rims are the Azev type E.
Give me solutions please...

The fronts are the most common size on aftermarket front 17" wheels.

The rears are wider than most. The most common rear 18" size is 265/35-18, then 255/35-18 and 275/35-18.

I would suggest just driving on them until the rears wear out (on an NSX, that shouldn't take long) and then replacing the rear tires with a more commonly used size.

Those are the sizes I have on my car and I like them very much. And since I raised the car back to the upper Bilstein adjustment in the front I don't rub anymore!
