Yea I'm sure they fit and I know the z can still spin a 285 my concern is how close the tire is for speedo reading, miles and also the stability control programming. I know when I worked for GM I could select tire/wheel sizes for the EBCM but I'm not sure how critical it is for Nissan. Wish I still knew a Nissan tech to see if the sport and Nismo run the same or different programming for the stability.

1010tires.com has a calculator that can give you the percentage change in wheel speed. the nismo uses 285/35/19 stock in the USA so I dont think it will be an issue.

For reference, i run a 275/35/18 on my rear axle and the speedo reads anywhere from 3-5mph faster than actual. Stability control is still functional with my setup (though it's never used on the track)

Going from a 275/35/19 tire to a 285/35/19 tire means that your speedometer is off by 0.67 mph at 65 mph. So essentially negligible
