Most Z owners here go with 275/35/19 in the rear.

The front tires are fine. The rears may or may not be a problem. The correct size for the rears is 275/35/19. The problem is the overall diameter of the fronts versus the rears. There should be about 1" difference (the rears being larger in OD). In your setup the fronts are 25.8" tall or thereabouts, and the rears are 26" (only .2" larger) the 275/35s on the other hand are 26.7" in OD. You could throw off the VDC (if you have it) or the slip control. Unless you lower, you will also be showing more space between the tire and fender than you would want. As far as fender rolling is concerned, we would have to know the wheel offsets to make a determination on that.

If I were you, I would try and swap the rears for the correct 275/35s.
