I've had 245 then 275 and now 295 tires for the rears.
.
The wider 295's seem like the perfect width IMO. They look awesome and they perform perfectly.
.
I always felt that the 245's and 275's could not handle the power and cornering capability of the 350Z. I could break them loose too easily and while cornering I thought they felt too slipery.

im loving it so far. turn in is a breeze. feels much more planted to the ground than my previous stagger setups. im glad i went with a 35 all around, 40 is too much sidewall for my taste.

No not yet. I just ordered my new lugs and hubcentric rings and tires are next. Wanted to get a good test fit before I order them. If I got 35 series I would do 265/35. I don't want any gap at all though. Maybe ill see if they will test fit tires for me at a shop.

I'm gonna order a set of 521's by the end of the week hopefully but still not sure on the exact setup I want. Any advantage/disadvantage to running a staggered setup of 18x8.5/18x10 vs. 18x10 all around?

Also, would spacers be needed for the rear to fit with the 25mm offset they come in? Right now I'm not lowered at all, but will be dropping it about an inch in the future

^^^the staggered vs. Square set up seems to be more about personal preference. There are threads all about it. It just makes your car react and handle a little differently. I don't think you would need spacers if your not lowered..
