Default Need help choosing tires

Here’s the deal. I just got a set of Volk GTFs 19x9.5 +17/19x10.5 +24 and I’m ordering Stance Coilovers on Wednesday. I’m going to slam the Z as much as possible and have the fenders rolled as well. I’ve been searching the forums for a good part of today to get some ideas on what tires I should get based on that scenario. So far I’ve seen a lot of people with 245/35/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rears. Would that be a decent setup for what I want to do? Sidewalls 30 or 35? What tires would you recommend? Looking for some advice from the guys that have already done it so I don’t fu*k it up. Most of my ideas are coming from this thread...https://my350z.com/forum/media-share...-g-is-low.html

245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R because you are planning to slam it
You might be able to fit 255/285 combo 35 profile

Opinion: 245s on a 9.5" wheel are too small (i.e. look stretched). Same statement for 275s on a 10.5" wheel. I'd go 255 or 265 front, and 285 or 295RR. Depending on how much your roll the rear and your camber, you may be able to fit a 305/30 on the rear.

As for tire brand - if your budget allows it - get Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s, and never look back.
