fit or no fit?
hello i recently purchased TWO New 245/35 ZR 19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Tires and two New 275/35 ZR/19" Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Tires. I also purchased a new set of Ruff Racing 278 chrome. These wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 5x114.3 +20 offset all around with a 3.5" lip out back. i just wanted to make sure if these tires are a perfect fit for the rims. i got a 2003 350z. thanks and get back to me.

You're good to go. That should be a nice, safe, standard, fitment. Next time around, I know you can go 255/35/19 front, and I'm pretty sure you can go 285/35/19 in the rear - even if you're lowered.
^^ Pretty much. You would be adding more tire width. I have your setup with 245/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear on 8.5/9.5" widths front/back and it fits fine. For those widths, you picked the correct tires sizes.
http://208.29.168.223/garage/tirecalcold.html You can check your own work by using this calculator... Put in the stock size first... Then in the 2nd part put in the specs for your up-sized tire. You want to look for combinations of height, width and sidewall that are less than .3% different between stock and up-size... Do the same thing for the rears... If you keep that % as low as possible (as close to zero as possible) than your before and after swap will read identically at the speedometer.
This is especially important for performance and grand touring models of the 350Zs (with VDC) - Tires that have rotation rate too radically different between the front and rear can cause the vehicle dynamic control (VDC) to assess the situation as a loss of vehicle control and take action to help you regain control. That can include downshifting the transmission, engine governing, and other electronically controlled "Slowing" maps that will make your car behave unexpectedly.
