Yes, stupid question, but I've never gone with anything other than stock sizes and I need to be sure.
Running Eagle F1 GS-D3's all around, I need new rears, but the size is out of stock everywhere, even the Goodyear shop couldn't find any.
I have stock 17's....stock size is 235/50. I need the closest thing to it that won't trip up TCS and won't be too wide.
Tire calc results:
235/50 (stock): 82.46 circumference
245/45: 80.67 circumference 2.18% difference
255/45: 81.77 circumference 0.84% difference
Annnd those are the only two in stock somewhat close. Would 255/45 be cool, or what?!

I ran 245/45 F and 255/45 R for a year's worth of autocross and DD. They work great.
As long as the tire co says a given size is ok for a given wheel width, I wouldn't wory about it.
Goodyear says 8-9.5" wheel width is ok for the 255/45 17 tire.

I would go with that.![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And when the fronts need to be replaced, I would go with the 245/45 17's there.

Also considering running the OE front size in the rear....Can't find the 235/50's anywhere...

I went from Eagle F1 GS-D3 to Eagle F1 Allseason performance. I am sure that you are smart enough to be cautious with oversteer. Try the new set-up in an empty parking lot before you push the car.
