Tire Sizing For Optimal Handling

Hey guys, im in the market for some tires on the Z. The factory tires are nearly at the end of their life and im looking into a set of RE-11s but i cant come to a conclusion on size.

Whats the best width to go with on these tires ? I have the sport wheels, 20mm spacers all around and the H&R springs (possibly looking into swapping them out for the Swifts).

I was thinking about going 265 up front and 285 in the rear.

What would you guys recommend ?

265/285 would be a good choice. I did 275/305 as that was the widest fitment possible but I think 265/285 would be better for average street driving.

265/285 will be great. :tup:

I just went 265/285. Unfortunately I won't know how they handle until the spring.
