Is this too big of a sidewall to fit the rear of a stock Z with no suspension work?

Thanks for the help guys!

it gets close
to the front and rear of the tire.
not necessaily the top.

It is 24.90mm taller than the OEM tire. Is there any sound reason why you want such a tall tire?

I didn't really want a taller tire...I just wanted a thicker sidewall to smooth out the ride. These thin sidewall tires are rattling the inside of my car to pieces...lol

Now that I have seen your post...I think I will go with 275/35/19s

Thanks guys!

LOL. When you move for 18 to 19 inch wheels, you generally drop side wall height 5 percent. That might get you an a less comfortable ride. An alternative solution might be a more comfortable tire.

the reason I thought of going with a thicker sidewall is because I have 245/35/20's now and want to get a 19" set of wheels. So I thought a thicker sidewall would be okay.

i had that size tire in the past, picked them up used from a guy on the
forum with 100 miles on them. they were definately a softer ride but
were so tall made the car look like a muscle car-rear end all jacked up
made my back hurt a little from always leaning forward.
they were good for hard launch at drags but killed speed downtrack 1000ft
mark. i since bought 275/35 and have been happy
