i hadn't ever considered s-04's before.

edit: also, thoughts on rear tire size? i'm kind of stuck between 285/35 and 305'30's out back. keeping in mind i will have a 265/35/19 up front.

9.5 and 10.5 wheel widths

I just bought this set up 2 days ago from Discount tire total cost was around 1050 installed. 265/35 and 285/35. These are very quite compared to my worn out stock tire. The grip is great at low speeds and changing lanes. Steering feels a tad lighter and when I go fast on the longer toll road turns here I feel a little bit of looseness from the 370z but it stays planted. The fit is almost perfect if you do not like the tire to stick out from the side to much. From what I hear you can always get poly diff bushings to stiffen things up a little. I have around 140 miles so far so they are prob not broken in either. Hope this helps.

The 400 plus you save over PSS can just go towards some coilovers eventually

meh the swifts with whitelines sways work now.

now for another question on fitment. my current tsw's are a +27mm with a 15mm spacer. will i have any issues rubbing a 305 in the rear?

Yeah Kenchan, I had the Conti DWS and they completely sucked in the snow, even less than an inch of snow. Ended up buying PSSs at the beginning of Spring and they were awesome all summer. Decided to just not drive in the snow and so far here in Delaware we haven't even had any snow.

What's the current width of your tire? The width is in millimeters, so you should be able to get a rough idea. I have 265/35 up front, and the tires can rub the fender liner creating a hole from full spring compression. That's not from tracking it either... just crap freeways, and that probably contributed to blowing out another one of my OEM shocks.

Once I replace the shocks, I plan to go back to 265/35 and 305/30 setup (currently sitting on 285/35). Continental has 305/30 tires available for the Extreme Contact series

shoot, i was planning on running 265's up front. hearing about rubbing issues may make me reconsider.

although, i hadnt heard many others having rubbing issues with 265's

I had 275/35 up front before. It was awesome with the fatness, but it rubbed a lot. 265/35 would only rub if you hit some nasty dips causing full spring compression. I'm on stock shocks, so maybe it's part of the reason.
