Default 275 tires

ok so i was wondering if i could fit 275 tires up front without any modifications? would i have to change anything to fit em up front?

edit:
im planning on getting 295/30r19 rears and was thinking of 275/35r19 in front but i think it might rub, im getting the (much hated) Varrstoen te37 replicas 19x10.5 r and 19x9.5 r +12 all around, but this is the first time i deal with wheels on the Z, (came from the honda scene) so idk much, any help with this please? what will i need to properly fit this?

yes they fit fine and you can go wider if you want. All you need is the proper width and offset wheel.

I have spacers for the wheels, but the fenders are untouched.

One problem is that the 275/35 in front would be noticeably bigger than the 305/30 in the back.

275/35/19 tire in front w/ +12 is a very close call though. It's questionable to me still. I know some of you guys run 285/30/18 on a 9.5 +15, but the circumference of the 275/35/19 is pretty big difference.

You would need a 275/30-19 up front for proper fitment. The Z needs a stagger in tire height to keep the computer from flipping out.

If you want to run wide tires i suggest you buy the +22 version of those wheels. That will be a perfect match.

I looked it up in the tire calculator and the combined difference between f&r is a little more than 1% the computer allows 3% so it would be fine, but will the 255/295 setup be ok to run with the +12 wheels?

Don't get hung up on the "Flush-fit" crap... if you push it to the edge you will more than like step over it at some point. If you are worried about fitment 9.5 +22 is very close to the edge at OEM camber specs lowered, if you push it an additional 10 mm or almost 1/2 an inch your gonna have to camber it more aggressively and lose tire longevity.

You'll be hard pressed to get a 285 to not rub on a 10.5" +12 rear wheel without at least rolling the fenders in tight. A 10.5" wheel, however, should have at least a 285 tire.

Not to say your choices were bad edgui12, I'm just saying go with the more conservative offsets if its a question. I've heard of people going with the 10.5 +15 with the 275's all around but if you are questioning it go conservative (9.5 +22). I'm with Terrasmak on this one I say go with the +22 and take the guesswork out. At that point you can get aggressive of the tire.

Ok so if I roll my fenders I'll be good with that setup in the back??

Thanks for all the help/feedback guys, I really appreciate it
Will 255/35 fit good in the rear?

These are stock photos. Do you think it is a good idea to get the wheels BEFORE shopping for tires?
