Default pros? cons?

hi guys, when i got my z i had the oem 18 inch touring wheels. a while back my buddy got me a great deal on some m-sports. i also took his advice and went with the staggered 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears. 265 fronts and 285 rears.

now that i think about, i wondering why i went with this setup? the falken tires were expensive as heck and i've been thinking maybe i should have went same size all the way around so i can rotate the tires.

what do you guys think about this? pros? cons?

1) All tires in the 19" 265/285 width are expensive.

2) Touring model has VDC. If you don't maintain the proper front/rear stagger, you'll have problems with VDC kicking in so you'll have to drive with it turned off.

3) Same size all around looks goofy on a Z.

+1

if tires are getting expensive for you, you can save a few bucks buy getting the setup that just about everyone else uses....245/35/19 and 275/35/19
