The tires aren't so much the problem but the front offset is way too much.

If you put a 265 on that front, it's going to look worse than the 255's you have up front now. Other than getting different wheels, the best thing you could do to make it look better both on the front and rear would be this.

Run a 245 on that 9.5 front. Yes it will be stretched (could look like crap too) but it wouldn't look like it sticks out so much. And then run a 295 or 305 one profile lower than your front. I'm sure the 370'S have that slip light stuff if your rear tire diameter is too close to the fronts diameter.

For example I'm running 245/35/19's front on 19x8.5" wheels and 305/30/19's on the rear on 19x10.5" wheels. I have the base model 350Z so I don't have to worry about that traction contral mumbo jumbo, however with my setup my rears are 1/2" bigger diameter than the front and that much should not cause problems with the traction control.

If you ran a 295 the overall diameter is only about 1/4" larger than the front and I'm not sure if that would throw a traction slip light thing or not.

Anywho this is what a 305/30/19 Potenza would look like on your 10.5" wide wheels.
