New tires? Need moar stretch!
Well I'm debating whether or not to change my current tire setup.
Wheels: Varrstoen: 19x9.5 (FR) 19x10.5 (R) +12 all around
Tires: 245/35 (FR) and 275/35 (R)
Although this setup has a SLIGHT stretch...I think I want more. I was thinking about ordering 235/35 and 255/35 Falken FK452.
My question is how much wider will my CURRENT setup look (275/35) compared to the 255/35?
This is how it sits now:

Is that really necessary? I could have been focusing COMPLETELY on my Stance, instead of spending $750 on my exhaust, $175 on my y-pipe, $110 on my Pop Charger. Well I respect the fact that you are more focused on performance...but I don't respect you stating "as opposed to something that gets you nowhere". Trust me, I would absolutely LOVE being stanced AND boosted...but I'm not dumping loads and loads of money on performance parts when: 1. My Z has 94k miles and 2. I work 45+hrs a week, I RARELY would have time to go to the track. The only tracks located within an hour of me are dragstrips....and i'm not into drag racing. That $hit is boring to me after an hour or so. So please refrain from posting bull$hit and negative posts in my thread...
Once I get my stance and exterior exactly how I want it, I am planning on buying more 'performance' parts. So please stop assuming that I am just dumping all of my money into the aesthetics of my car only....I have a LOT of stuff planned for my Z.

is this a fashion statement?
I was under the impression we change wheel and tires for looks and performance. I must not be up on all the hip new trends. More traction is better right? Or is this not true anymore.

245/275 is the skinniest tire I would run on this setup. Hell I was planning on +0 with 245/275, I might do +12 and 255/285. 215 on a 9.5" wheel? Come on guys.
245/40 on my 9" for my WRX was stretched.
