Me too, thanks
If they were 10.5 all around, would I still be able to use 255/35 on the fronts and 275/35 on the rears? Thanks

Glad you're getting you funds back br0!
As for wheel situation... TE's or GT-S doesn't matter, make sure you get what YOU want and don't let others' opinion change your mind.

Tokyo Time Attacks though! I'd love me another set of GTS though. Preferably a set that hasn't been completely mutilated by a complete imbecile.

The only thing is, I'd be mounting the fronts on 255/35 and the rears on 275/35 tires. Would this work? It's a square setup 19x10.5+17, though
Thanks SR71, me too

Should run same tire size on all 4's if you're running a square set up IMO but I don't see anything wrong running staggered tire size though, someone can chime in.

I had 245/35 and 255/35 on a 19x10 square set-up. Didn't bother my VDC and it kept the aspect ratio similar looking. If you use the 255/275 keep in mind that your fronts will look stretched while your rears will look mildly stretched...if that sort of thing bothers you. It will work all the same.

Also, if I was somehow able to get rid of or sell the 255s, would 275 all around be ideal/good?

245/40/19 has very similar circumference to stock 245/45/18 ie 83.9 inch circumference and 83.8 inch circumference
245/40/19 has a circumference of 83.9 inch, more than stock 225/45/18(front) circumference of 81.6 inch.
As per my previous post, 245/40/19 is not very suitable for the front. Do explain how am I wrong?

275/35 is the tire of choice on 19s.

What's the ideal tire size on a wheel setup of 19x10.5+17 all around for the fronts and rears? I'm currently on stock height, and i'd be looking to do a slight drop in the future. I'd like to take her to the track every now and then, but my Z is my DD. Would 275/35/19 all around be best?
I have two 255/35/19 and two 275/35/19 tires at home that i'd like to use, but I understand there will be some stretching involved. I don't mind doing this, in fact i'd prefer to just use the tires I have already (so long as it isn't dangerous or anything).

Your response was not helpful because you didn't read the question.
Saying 245/35 is the best for fronts just adds to the thousands of posts which say the same thing.
My specific question after having destroyed a 19" rim running a 245/35 tire on the front of a 350z was if anyone else has upped their fronts to the higher profile 245/40. Given 245/40 is OEM for the 370z, it's plausible that this combination will allow driving my 19" wheeled 350z on **** pock marked road surfaces without damaging components.
Anyway I've since discovered that running 245/40/19 F along with 285/35/19 R will fix my problem. Amen to sidewalls!!
