Steering was noticeably changed, mostly because it is like putting your base rear tires on the front of the car ( moving up from 225 to 245 ) so a bigger contact patch. Not bad, just noticeable.


I have always liked smaller rims and did not want to like 19'' wheels, but the Z looks good with them.
Thanks, this is good info! I would imagine road noise would go up a bit with the wider tires, but as you said that is also very tire dependent.

I agree the Z looks great with 19's. I had a very difficult time finding a roadster with touring + sport. There were many more touring 6MT to choose from, and that's what I found. I love the looks of the 19's though.
