You wouldn't start telling people the torque spec of the lugs is 5ft/lbs would you? I don't care how it looks (looks retarded always), you need to give warning that's it's not recommended and possibly unsafe. There are a ton of newbs here who buy into **** that don't understand jack. Like I said, do it right or not at all. That's how I feel, live with it.

I definitely agree with the idea that a lot of people speak rubbish online and its our duty to try to sift with best of our judgements, using personal experience and basic physics even. At the end of the day, I value personal real unbiased experience over most people's "theoretical" experience, with one disclaimer: theres always those people that rarely say their stuff sucks because they bought it. I am not im the market for "best bangs for the buck". Buying this Z was a niche market choice and i believe we owe it to ourselves to value whats truly value added over whats a good deal.
However i think the examples of 5ft/lbs of torque are a little extreme. I agree, gear suggestions should always be followed with an explanation (helps noobs like me learn!).
In agreement with the above, I do know for the majority of options that a lot of street tires and ESPECIALLY most all season tires would be unadvisable with a 275/35/19 on a 10.5" width tire.
In agreement with the other person (again i really appreciate the pictures and feedback).I do know from personal experience at the tracks ive been to that a lot of sticky track tires and specifically some michelin tires and the yokohama neovas run especially wide and arent as stretched. My guess is because they are built with a much harder shoulder and sidewall.
For reference purposes my 285/35/19 in advan sport is a ~10.2" tread width on a 10.5" but an advan neova in 275/35/19 is a ~10.6". Another good example is my coworkers e55 amg. His 265/35 pilot cups ran wider than his new 285/35 hankook v12s.
Again i am not discrediting either statement. I am eternally grateful for feedback from both of you guys because it helps me see BOTH sides of the equation. Happy tuesday and keep the suggestions coming!
