Well, you can fit a 275 or a 285 comfortably on a 9.5" wide wheel, so I see no need to go with a 10.5 unless you want to run 295's or 305's.

Neither, I have some 19s on my Z (which I just bought used), and found out the price for 19" tires.... ouch. I might trade mine for 18s.

do you have to roll or cut to fit 285 or just 295 and 305? im thinking about getting some gravis 19s and the offsets are +25 +38 and +45 so im not sure what to get, im guessing the +25 front and back should be fine, and on a 9.5 wide wheel go with the 275 or 285 depending on how much the tires are

Depends on how much you want to spend. If its a good deal like you say then pick them up.

Personally I won't go less than 10.5 unless you're doing it for tracking purposes (like with Work Emotion Cr Kais or something similar) I have 19x11 on my car right now and I think it's hot - remember the 350z and g35 are some of the few entry-sports car that can accomodate huge wheels and tires like higher end sports cars (911s, etc)

No experience with actual fitting, sorry bud. I just know what size tires *generally* fit a wheel width.

its really prefference and what size tires you wanna run. 10.5 you can run bigger say 295 or 305's 9.5's 275 to 285 is optimum. 10.5 will give you a little bigger lip if your like them bigger. I have 9.5's like i said and mine is 3.5 inches. Thats about 3/4 of an inch bigger then a dollar bill width wise so pretty decent size. Its really about preference though search through the media and check out different sizes.

I think 9.5s in the rear are enough, but I'd want more than 8.5 up front.

On a 10.5 inch wheel, I'd want at least 285s or maybe 295s....I hate that stretch look. I'd like if volk made a 10" rear as I think 275s are enough for a NA car.

i agree with sensi on the stretched look i hate it 295's min. if you go 10.5 for my tastes. i run 275 on a 9.5 and it looks perfect for my eyes.
