Car looks awesome moose, that research payed off. Looks like it's MM's from the fender. I'd like to see what it looks like under compression. I'll be posting my setup in here as soon as my CCW's get here. Ordering them Monday, it takes about two weeks to get the custom wheels after you order.

Thanks Scott,
Really just trying to get it right. I was thinking about a +25, but the picture of moose's red Z with the 19x11 +25 above scared me off, his car looks good but looks like rub city through dips with his 295 BFG's and camber. +30 is sounding pretty good I think that's what I'll go with.

Just to back up what scott300 said...my 295s with a 10.5" +22 in back were flush with the outer edge of the fender at -1.5 degrees, and Im rolled/very slightly pulled. At +22 youd be poking 6mm more than I am with your 11", not to mention the camber difference, and the fact that I have some pull. Id say +30 is a safe bet.
If you end up too sunk just add a slip on spacer, or go 305

Thanks for the advice. Yeah the 11 inch wheel at +30 is tucked in 2MM from where a 10.5 inch wheel at +22 sits. If I have to adjust camber a little to get it perfect then that's what I'll do.

Curious how mine will turn out when I roll the fenders and throw on the springs, I'm on a 11" wheel at +25. Just from looking it looks like I might have to sacrifice some camber

HELP.... Okay so I picked up fome RPF1's. 18x9.5+15 18x10.5+15. Had them before, ran a 265/35f and 285/35r and 295/35r (rolled and bit of a pull). Everything worked out great.
Here lies the problem. Got a killer deal on 4 Hankook RS3 in 285/35. Now im only lowered on Tein springs so im thinking the 285's will work up front too, but I'd like to stay within stock camber specs. Possible?

but why would you want to run such wide tires on a Z?

Honestly, the best, most neutral setup I have ever had was 265/35f 285/35r. I loved it and would like to run it again. I just got a killer deal on 4 285/35 so I was just going to run that all around, but I think I'll just save the other pair of 285's for the rear when they wear out and pick up fome 265's for the front. I autox a lot. Don't care what the hell class im in, i just do it for fun.
265/285 really isn't that wide for the Z and looks great and flush. All the pictres in my album are the 265/285. I'll see if I can't dig up some pics with the 295/35 out back. Looks great as well, but a bit overkill and I ran 255/40 up front and the handling wasnt that great.

I have some 265s I'm unloading and am always in the market for 285s. PM me to discuss, if you'd like.

My last setup was 17's FN01RC 17x10+12 all around with 255/40f and 275/40 with Azenis. Pretty great setup, very nimble, but I felt I felt like I just couldn't push it as much as I would like. Didn't feel like there was enough rubber on the road. Bit heavier steering with the 265's, but I haven't ran a stock tire size since 04 so Im well used to it and would never go back.

When did the steering feel horrible (Street driving or competition driving)? I agree I get some road "feedback" and tugging from the crown/pitch of the road with a big front tire (though I think power steering combats that quite nicely), however, I love a BIG front tire (275, 285, 295, 305) to balance out the understeer when competing.

May have gone a little to aggressive in the rear
Specs: 275/30/19 on a 19x9.5 + 17 front and 305/30/19 on a 19x10.5 + 18 rear
Tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Seem to be wider and more square than my hankook V12's.
- Car needs to be washed and I would love to lower her more but my damn driveway sucks as is. Will look into curb ramps and lower some more
Fender modifications: Rears rolled, seibon fronts with 10mm more clearance
Pics:
Rear tread width
Front
Overall
One more rear shot.. wide!
Do i qualify for this thread?

Sorry man, nice try but weak sauce. Try 305 in front and 335 rear. Totally kidding of course... I'm a little jeleous... I just got the PS2's in a 305 and the front PS2's are still measly 255/35/19's, but there's still meat on them and I'm cheap. When the fronts wear out I'll upgrade to 275/30/19 and probably in a PSS.
How does that thing handle with this sick setup and what are you lowered on?

^Going to run a little camber to get it to tuck right. Dont know the spec right now but i would guess its close to 0. I have SPC arms and toe bolts and will get an alignment shortly.
At first i was like is this guy for real!
275/305 is pretty hefty. I may get a small spacer for the fronts.
Exactly 0 miles on this setup so i dont know how it handles.

10.5 -1 on a 275/35/19.. yes I know tires aren't very fat but sure is aggressive for my ride height and offset.
This set up rubbed like a **** (fenders were rolled flat), if I went 1/4 higher most of rubbing would probably be eliminated. However, I just went ahead and got a smaller spacer to make final offset +4. Considering that I have no fender gap I would say this is decently aggressive..
Going to go a 1/4 higher this weekend and test fit the -1 offset and see if I can get away with it. If so, i'll slap the 20mm I bought on the fronts..
(yes i know i have g35, but this thread on our forum isn't very active so I figured I'd post here)
