i already have 265/35 for the front but for the rear i see alot of you
guys going with 285/35...could i do 295/35 instead? its only a little
difference and i know i will get a little under steer with 285 and 295
...that's question number one...my car is dropped a little less then
1.5inches...so would i have to get my rear fenders rolled? (im guessing
yes)

can you guys tell me the pros and cons of running nice fat tires?
besides the fact that they are expensive lol got my eye on

If you don't want to roll the fenders , run the Enkei NT03 9.5 front +27 and 10.5 rear +30 with the same tires i mentioned earlier.

You should do more reading and searching before you make a purchase, you may regret due to offsets. +38 is pretty shatty looking on the Z, spacers would correct the offsets.

I agree the +35 is a lot for a 9 inch wheel if that's what your considering (similar to a stock Nismo or Track V2 Wheel). Wouldn't look retartded but you may end up buying spacers. I think the calc says is will be 26mm tucked in the fender compared to the 9.5 +15's. +38 on the 10's would be a little tucked but not bad.

Play around with this.

BTW, my wheels are 9.5 +22 and I think its fairly conservative.

I have a set of black 9.5 +15 RPF1s for sale if you're interested as well. If so, PM me (not here).
