NA tracked Z, 275/35 front and rear I think is about perfect. My 285/35 setup is a little overkill, but works well.

Looks pretty fat to me for a G35 sedan.

Not to mention that those Michelin Pilot Super Sports run really wide for their size.

I doubt many know what stock specs are on an older G sedan. I do wonder why you staggered the tires on it. A lot of us are trying to get away from stagger, you had square and went stagger.

Btw , I run a 285/35-18 square setup now. The steering definatly responds, not really sluggish at all, it could be my alignment specs.

Try the same sizes with 9.5 F and 10 R tire and I can guarantee you that the setup will be a lot more responsive and communicative. Running Maximum width tire for a given wheel width will dull down steering a lot more than one would expect.

We are getting off topic here, PM me if you want I have experience with lot of different tires on various wheel widths. Michelin PSS have a really soft sidewall compared to Start Specs or similar tires of Max Performance summer tire. If anything they would be the ones to benefit from these the most

Playing around with tire sizes. I think this is as big as I can go with these little front wheels.

18x8.5 265/35
18x10 285/35 (295/35 next)

Looks good man! I went with 10.5x18 all around. 275/35 front and 295/35 on rear. I love it. I may do 285/35 front and rear next time so I can rotate em. But for now I'm really liking the staggered setup. Cheers bro!

Hey guys I got 2 setups in mind thankfully it's not too late to go with either or...my first setup was 19.8.5 +15 front and 19x10 +15 rear and fill that up with some meaty tires. The other setup in mind was 19x10 +15 front and 19x11 +15 rear. Now with the 2nd setup sounds a little too wild I don't even know what tire sizes I can for up in the front with that. Keep in mind I'm on stock suspension now but will be lowering and also rolling fenders. Okay guys so throw suggestions my way, which setup should I run and tire sizes
