WRONG, 285/30 will give you TCS problems with a 245/35 front, 285/35 rear will work just fine, other than the fact the car will handle like crap.

Like I said...275/35 is the one for the rear. Perfect match to stock diameter.

255/35 and 285/35 might be nice without lowering
245/35 and 275/35 with coils

Go to www.1010tires.com and then tell me im wrong about the 285/35/19.
If you look it will show you that 285/30/19 is the only tire setup in 285 range that isnt over the 3% diameter change over the stock tires.

3% rule is for a difference between front and rear tire height. The rear tire needs to be taller than the front. Typically 285/35-19 is combines with a 255/35-19 front, but it will work with a 245/35 front and as i stated "will handle like ***" can you say understeer?

As far the the rear upsize is concerned, 275/35 is ever so slightly shorter than OEM, and 285/35 is slightly taller than stock. Same goes with the 245/35 front and 255/35 rear.

All these measurements are made against the OEM tire sizes of 225/45-18 front and 245/45-18 rear. There are 2 other OEM tire sizes for a Z, (17's and the 18f 19R combo) but the difference is insignificant and the computer doesn't care.

SO YES YOU ARE WRONG, PLEASE TRY AGAIN.

Why do you wish that? Does ur current setup handle bad or ride rough?
