Last year was my first summer with my Z and I was on stock 18" and I didn't really care about flat spotting cause I was going after market.

I honestly didn't feel any difference after the winter.

I can put on my stock wheels but thats really a last resort, I don't want to haul my wheels to the shop again.
yah, tires do flat spot... while parked on a concrete floor psi to 40-45 at least, and roll the car without starting every 5-6wks if you can.

i use 42-43psi (at ambient) and place on these platforms called flatstoppers. even so, i turn the wheels by hand every 8wks by 1/3 turn.
