very true. my 305/30 bridgestone re050 has a 12" section width. the same exact model/size is 12.6" for the oem porsches.

edit.. also compared to the 295 ps2, the 305 bridgestone should be 10mm wider, it's only about 3mm wider.

And the 305 Pirelli Pzero is 10mm thinner than the 295 Ps2

i stand corrected... but, are you sure he's talking about putting those on a Z? i can't imagine even a wide body kit having room for that size tire on a Z...

you can rent fender rollers... i would also recommend renting a heat gun... you will want to heat the metal during the rolling process to keep the paint chipping to a minimum...

honestly, though, cutting is the best route to take... the Z's fenders are relatively easy to cut and it does not degrade structural support in the least...
