If I were you I would 275/35 on all four corners and add a spacer to the rear. Better yet, get rid of the rear wheel sizes and go with 10.5 +20

Thanks for the quick help.....

Anything needs to be done to the fender/suspension to fit the 275/35 in the front??

I am currently running 235/40 and 275/35 on a 8.5/9.5 setup



These new wheels that I just got does not offer the 10.5 or else I wouldnt give it a second thought

Thanks again

275/35 all around with a 10mm spacer in the rear sounds just about right to me.

275/35 on a 8.5" wheel? No thanks. 245/35 front 275/35 rear should suit you just fine with no fender modifications.

275/35/19: Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 100.39 MPH. This is perfect.

thanks davidv

But only only concern is actually fitting the 275/35/19 up front???

no mods needed (roll/pull)???

I am a newbie to the 350z scene, just something that doesnt sound right using the same width tires on all 4 corner. I kindly worry that the car will drive weird

Thanks again

NO..... You will not need to mod the front at all. That is why we have been saying this size. I used to run a 275 up front on a 9.5 +15 with 0 problem and i tracked if that eases your mind.

275/30-19 front
275/35-19 rear

or

255/35-19 front
275/35-19 rear

These are your two best choices.

I would personally do 265/35 front and 285/35 rear. Just keep in mind that even with identical sizes, different tire brands will give you a different look. Bridgestones usually have a narrower diameter than most. I currrently have 19x9.5 +22 with 255/35 RE-11s in the front and the tires look a bit stretched. I ran LMGT4s a while back and I had the typical 19x9.5 +30 with285/35 Hankooks which looked good, though the sidewalls did not look entirely square. I'm definite 285 Bridgestones would have looked better.
