Default Put 4 Track rears on my Z

Last night I put 2 rear Track wheels on my fronts, so now I have rears all the way around. Tires are the factory 245/45/18 Potenzas. As soon as I went driving the handling differences were immediate; the car feels so much better around the corners. It grips and turns in so much better, thanks to the added rubber. I have my hotchkis bars set to med/med right now, but I am going to put the rear on soft because with all the added grip up front the rear doesn't want to stay planted. I also have no VDC issues and the car acts perfect.

Stop playing around and get those fronts boxed up. Can't believe they delivered them at 9:00pm

Why not just run 245/40's on the stock fronts?

+1 Thats what I'm going to do as soon as replacement is needed. I've already bumped up the back to 265/40's. I know that 245's will fit since thats what was on my 18x8 touring rims.

I did not want a staggered setup. I wanted to eliminate the understeer and be able to rotate my tires. And when these tires wear out I am going to replace them with 265/40.

Can you fit 265/40s on rear 18" touring rims? (and if so, how do they look?)

I thought the largest size was 255/45 (?)

I don't think so. I put 265's on track rims and they fit & look good.
