If you want 35 series you need 19's, If you want 40 series you need wider 18's. The 255/35 you mention for running in the rear is to short of a front tire.

wow, those are going to be some short *** tires. 40 series will not be bulgy in 235 and 255 widths. The only times 40 looks bulgy on a Z is with 275/40. That is going to look like crap.

I think you can use a tire calculator and see why this is a poor idea.

I think these are the std 5 spoke. On the 05's. The GT has the 18/19 combo. But your second half comments are 100% troof
