I guess I shouldn't be complaining about my 295 PS2 summer tires. 305 R888s for ZdayZ baby. No point in having the power if you can't put it down. D@mn expensive though, that's for sure. If you do go with PS2s - they have a great ride, traction, and last a good while. Not cheap either though.

That is what I thought..I am not at the office, so couldnt see what offset. That is the typical offset for that wheel on a 350Z. I think a 295/30 will fit...close call but it should fit.

On my 350Z, I had +22 rear, and tucked a 305/30/19 back there...PS2

My camber isn't helping my traction situation. After these tires wear, I may consider some R888s. My car is pretty slammed. You lowered at all J?

IMHO, 285 and up, I prefer the 30 series. Otherwise, the sidewall is very tall, and you will experience rubbing issues. Aspect ratio is a ratio of width to height, so it's not a fixed number, unlike the tire width.

roll? hells, naw. we will cut those foo's. just like we did mine.

btw, if you do go with a 285, make sure you go with a max performance summer tire and not an ultra high performance summer tire like the ecsta.
