What is the offset for the wheels? You do understand that 275's on a 10.5 streches the tire, unless you want that look, and if the wheels have lips you have a better chance in scratching the lips. Of course each tire brand is a little different in size. A 30 profile tire is only 3.24" in sidewall height. The stock is a 4.3" sidewall height. Any low profile tire has a rough ride but I would stick to atleast a 35 profile and go to 285's instead of 275's.

Fender rolling will depend on how much you've lowered the car, what offset your wheels are ,wheel width/height and camber. I know a fellow on here that has 295/30-19 on his Z with a 10.5" rear wheel, not lowered, that doesn't have rubbing issues, nor are his fenders rolled with a +26 offset. The tires do stick past his fenders a bit so he can't really lower his car, unless he rolled his fender's. If your planning to lower your car then you might have to roll your fenders.

best config would be 9.5/10.5 with 255/285

YOu don't need to do anything with the car. Where are you planning to buy wheel? Since you're in LA, i would suggest you call Chris at F1motorsports.com in North Hollywood. Best price and service. Lots of us buying from them.

i don't think so. They will ship it to your door. What is your price range?

go here to check out more than 100+ type of wheel for 350Z.

Then call Chris at 818.755.9800. Tell him Alex from San Jose, CA refer you. He will take good care for you.

i have 19" volk gt-c's. In the front i have 19x8.5 and the rear 19x10.5 with 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear and i have it dropped with the Eibach pro-kit and i don't rub at all. I will agree that the 275 tire does stretch over the 10.5" wheel but thats what came with the package and i'm more knowledgeable now than i was back when i bought the wheels. Hope this helps, also i'm from CLT and i ordered from www.e-wheelz.com, they shipped to my door too.....
