Hey you might wanna check your widths, you said 19.5 inch rims? you mean heigth? it looks like your running more of a 8 inch wheel trying to stretch the 245 on it.

Yes. Tires are manufactured and tested in groups of 4. If you mix tires will the 350Z spin out of control and crash into a wall? No. But the results will be, ummm....uncertain.

Usually, it's not recommended to run different tire brands for the front and rear. May I ask why you'd want to do this?
