Im dropped on HKS Hipermax RS coilovers. I also lowered it slightly more than the settings they come out of the box.
Fenders are not rolled/shaved at the moment.....When I go GTS, Im am pretty sure that will be rolling/having the rear.

What do you you all think of a 255/275 setup?
How does a 255/285 setup look at stock ride height?
I am looking into a slight drop of around 1" at the most due to driveablity/scraping issues with my driveway.
Personally I am leaning towards a 255/285 setup and getting my fenders rolled or shaved. How much is that typically?
Thanks for the replies, trying to gather as much info as I can

Just finished editing these pics, here you go. The 2 pics of the outside of the wheel facing the right is the rear. The 1 pic of the face of the wheel facing the left is the front.

I'm thinking of staying 275 in the back and bumping the front from 245 to 255 as well.
Especially on the Toyo tires, the 275 sits perfectly on the lip of a 10.5 inch Volk. It's tapered but not stretched to hell.
On the other hand, the 245 is stretched about a quarter of an inch off the lip's edge on a 9.5 front wheel.
I think the 275's give ample enough traction, yet enough to slide the tail end when induced on a N/A Z.
Trying to stay away from the snap oversteer of a TOO beefy rear-end.

hmm.. My only question is I take very fast and sharp turn that turn into a drift. usually at night when I'm bored. I'm worried that 245/35/19 on a 19x9.5 and 275/35/19 on a 19x10.5 will give way and the lip will rub the street. I don't want to get 255 or 285 because I don't want to roll the fenders. My Z is not lowered will 255 and 285 rub?? on a non lowered car?? This is my deciding factor. I was thinking about getting toyo, Nitto Neogen or Falken . What do you guys think.

oh man...
i'm getting GT-S's 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 with a +28 and +30 offset respectively. i'm getting them wrapped in toyo t1r's, 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. i was also thinking about dropping the car about an inch or a little more on springs or coilovers (any recommendations?). would i have to roll the fenders if i lower the car? i really don't want to

As an example, I'm lowered on Hotchkis springs, and my rears are 19x10.5 +29 with a 5mm spacer, so my offset is similar to your setup (29 - 5 = +24 offset). With 275/35/19 (Toyo T1-R), I don't rub with the Hotchkis.

Thanks,

I am actually looking into possibly dropping it some more using coilovers or different springs!

wuts the price difference between 245/35/19 275/35/19 and the 255/35/19 285/35/19 im going w/ the same setup and im stuck between the two sizes too.. i was initially just going to go 245/275 but i figured since im going to have my fenders rolled anyways i might as well go with the 255/285..

Im running 255/285 at stock height... I rub every now and then when I take a turn hard ... Still waiting on Cusco's which should be here in about a month or so... I love the traction when entering/exiting a turn - What I dont like is understeer...

2006 track/ grand touring 18x9.5 fronts, still running the stock potenza's no need to switch them out, but I was breaking traction in 1st and 2nd with the stock 265's in rear so I went up...
Old setup at the standard offset for the wheels, front remained, 245/35 or is it 40 for those, haven't been out to check tonight and have a little brain fade. Alas on the back, and it can be done without rolling the fenders, they fit perfectly, 305/30/19 Michelin PS2's on 19x10.5 rims. They look sexy to say the best, and man, you really get traction. My car isn't lowered at all. They fit no rub at all. They maintain the same dimensions other than the extra width of the tires. I'm really liking them.
