If true I'd still only go 255 rear and 245 front and no larger on OEM rims.

That might be true but 275 will not fit correctly to a 8.5" wide rim.

It might, at least until you try to take a hard turn!

Does this stand true for my 2007 Grand Touring 350z roadster?

I have VDC, stock tires are 225/45/18 & 245/45/18


I really want to go as big as possible with out upsetting the VDC or having to roll the fenders. Obviously, I don't want any rubbing either.
