if your looking for a more equal match in height to a 245/35 front tire than the 285/30 will look great. the wheels width has alot to do with how things will look together as well. the 285/30 will have an extreme similar look as the 275/35 as far as width to rim fitment/stretch is concerned. a 275/30 would look more stretched campared to a 275/35 than a 285/30 in comparison to a 275/35. also, the 285/30 doesnt show problems with VDC/TCS when used with a 245/35 front. i have a couple friends with the 245/35 & 275/30 combinations with no problems even though the front tire has a tad more height than the rear(go figure). i also personally had 225/40/18's at all 4 corners when i purchased my used 03 z. no problems with VDC/TCS what-so-ever. a local friend of mine runs the 245/35 & 285/30 combo & i think it looks much better IMO! he too has the eibach lowering springs & he has a much more even stance compared to mine with the 245/35/19 & 275/35/19. he also has no trouble at all with VDC/TCS. it depends on what your looking for truthfully. if you want to switch to even out the height stagger a bit than this is the best choice IMO. im contemplating the swap myself & i have less than 2k miles on my 275/35's(dont drive the z much)........**disclaimer** my statements are based on real life experiences i have seen with my own eyes, im not trying to start a war with anyone or say anyone is wrong. if i didnt see the results with my own eyes i surely would steer somone in the wrong direction as far as VDC/TCS is concerned. every z reacts differently so take it as you will (=
