2009 Nissan 370Z Automatic - Short Take Road Test

The 19's have a longer rolling diameter which make it better suited for road courses, on a drag strip...the stock 18's will equally match the 19's even though the 19's have a 275 tire.

When I used to drag race my Supra we used to run the 16 inch RX-7 rims, the smaller rim will actually change out the gearing in favor of torque and while you'll lose some top end due to a smaller diameter the bottom end response and better 60-foot times were a marked improvement which translated into faster times.
