With my 285 rears, and the rear height pictured; I had slight rubbing between the fenders and the outside of the tires. I had to bring the rear up about half of an inch to match the front and stop the rubbing. I have zero issues now with a 1 finger gap in the front and rear. And the ride and handling feel excellent.

Here is a good pic of my 04z with 370z Rays, I need to drop it on "true coils" real bad. I have 20mm spacers in the front with 245/35/19's and it is almost flush, I was told you can run 25mm spacers up front with no problem. The rear Is almost flush as well with 285/35/19's and no spacers. Later I will post up a better close up of the font and rear for spacer ideas. Hope this helps

A little bit different look. They're Ray's 19x10 and 19x9 LMZ5's for the 370. Lots of folks on here seem to dislike them, but I love the way they look on a roadster. I figured it's hard to go wrong on a staggered set of Ray's 19" wheels new in the box for $800 (and that included shipping!). Now if I could just find a deal like that on a JWT TT!!! And yeah, I know it needs dropping some. I've got a set of Eibach springs on the way.

You should not have any problems, just get some spacers for the front. I run 235/45/19 front and 285/35/19 rear with a 20mm spacer on the front and I dont have any problems at all except that discount tire wont work on cars that have spacers due to liability issues.

As mention by DavesZ#3
350z stagger spec rear is taller than front “try to find front/rear pairs that maintain the stagger of at least ½" and less than 1"
But370z have 245/40/19 (side wall 3.9) & 275/35/19(side wall 3.8)
Make tire diameter front 26.7” rear 26.6” which front is 0.1” taller than rear
Anyone have problem with 245/40/19 & 275/35/19 on 350z?

One of you change to 245/35/19 & 275/35/19 which would b 25.8” & 26.6 perfect for 350z
MyfirstZcar mention no problem with VDC

A: Both the Traction Control System (TCS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) can cause the "slip" light to come on. There are a couple of things that can make it come on even though you don't feel/hear your tires slipping.
The most common cause for this behavior is replacement of the OEM tires with a different size. All Zs come with staggered tires, that is to say the fronts are a little shorter than the rears. This causes the tires to rotate at different rates which TCS and VDC depends on for normal operation. If you install tire combinations that don't maintain that stagger, it can cause problems for TCS/VDC resulting in the "slip" light illuminating.
The stock tire sizes and Outside Diameters are:
225/50/17 25.9"
235/50/17 26.3" (0.4" stagger)
225/45/18 25.9"
245/45/18 26.7" (0.8" stagger)
245/40/18 25.7"
265/35/19 26.3" (0.6" stagger)
265/40/18 26.3"
285/35/19 26.9" (0.6" stagger)
When choosing new tires, try to find front/rear pairs that maintain the stagger of at least ½" and less than 1". You should also look for front/rear setups that maintain the same OD as that will keep your speedometer and odometer accurate.
Here are the most common "upsized" tire combinations. These are known to work and keep TCS/VDC happy.
245/40/18 25.7"
275/40/18 26.6" (0.9" stagger)
245/35/19 25.8"
275/35/19 26.6" (0.8" stagger)
255/35/19 26"
285/35/19 26.9" (0.9" stagger)
245/30/20 25.8"
275/30/20 26.5" (0.7" stagger)
