if you are going with a square setup for rims, might as well go with square 265's for the tires, add spacers in the back i guess.

Do a 265/35 all around and run a 25mm spacer in the rear. Will be perfect!!!

yeah with a pulled fender maybe, 15mm max spacer unless you want MAJOR camber (like 3.0+). also depends on if you plan on tucking the tire or having it high enough to clear the tire.

I don't think a square setup will "look" best, but it might drive the best.
Just ask JUN.

agreed, but with a spacer in the rear and some suspension work, that thing will HANDLE and you can rotate the tires!

I am running a 265/35 rear tire on a 10.5 15mm offset wheel with 20mm spacers, so a -5 offset. I have a basic fender roll and -2.4 rear camber with toe in spec. Can be done, just depends on how aggressive of a look the OP wants.

I just want it to be dirveable, and I didnt get the 9.5 fronts because the set I have was in a skyline, and they where practically gifted to me... so 265's all around would be the best for handling?

Handling and performance are overrated. Its going to look cool and that is what counts.

square setup. look at the jun setup as they ran square, and extrapolate as their
wheel sizes were different (i think). i am referring to their yellow 350z w/ an rb
and atessa

You can hardly compare the JUN 350z to a stock 350z as for what's best in handling, even when it comes to tires. They are TOTALLY different cars. AWD/custom suspension work/custom drivetrain/weight/weight distribution.... it's not even the same car, hardly even a 350z aside from it's appearance.

So while a square setup might've rocked on the JUN 350z it's not necessarily best for this guy's ride. Not saying square setups are bad, just saying they're not comparable to the JUN 350z.

too late for that last answer, I bought 265/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport square! looks good and drives very nicely but now I need to lower the car! I cant lower it too much cuz of the nasty streets we have here in monterrey, so which springs should I buy?

Pics of the new setup (still missing 1 tho)
