Ok here is the deal I have some nice 19x9 +26mm, 19x10 +22mm CX wheels on some BFG KDW2 in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 lowered on Eibach Pro Kit.

I have some small gap on the back wheels that I would like to fill up, so why not upgrade to bigger tires. My tires have 10-15k miles on them but still have alot of tread. What to do?


Option 1:
-I can move the 265/30 to the front and should be ok with clearance, but some bigger 285/35/19 bfgoodrich tires for the rear-look funny maybe and cost $500 or so.

Option 2:
-Screw it I have used tires, just buy some used tires on cheap bay. Move the 265/30 BFG KDW2 to the front, and I found some used Michelin PS2 for $200 in sizes 295/30 right down the street from me.

Can I run 2 different types of tires without noticeing too much effects? Will the car be funny in the rain? Will the car look like it's at an OK height?

I know if anyone can help it would be this forum, so thanks for the respones ahead.

 

the 265/30 is a much smaller tire then desired for the 350Z...

just go to the standard 245/35/19 / 275/35/19 and you will be very happy...

the 265/30 is 1.5" too short for the rear of the 350Z (going by stock tire size diameter)...

 

you would think the 265/30 would be a smaller diameter but it is bigger the the 235/35/19..weird BFG kdw2 sizing.

 

yeah some tire models are taller then others... Potenza S0-3's are slightly taller then the same sizes from differnet makes...

Both of those tire sizes are considdered short for the Z... not much sidewall for a 19" wheel as well...

The KDW2's are available in 245/35/19 / 275/35/19... as well as alot of other tires...

 

255/35 and 285/35

 

255/35 285/35

 

255/35 / 285/35...

sorry but every time I see that, they just look much bigger... thats just my opinion though... :-/
