Find me 295/35/19...if possible
 

Looking for a 295 tire to go on the stock rear 370Z sport package rims, I'd like to get a pair in 295/35/19 because I plan on keeping the front 245's the same as those are pretty much perfect for what I need. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd apprecate it...

Search the tire size and you'll find BF Goodrich G-Force. It's not hard to search for it.....lol
You'll have to buy some front tires.

ya its the only tire thats available, but its like $300+ a tire, was just wondering if there were any other options. And why would I need to buy new front tires?

Mixing tires is not recommended. You will find a better selection of tires in 285's.

That is a crazy rare size, so those are the only ones. You'd have to buy fronts so you don't stagger the rubber compounds which is bad for consistent handling.

so either go 245-255/35/19 in the front & 285-295/30/19 in the rear to have an even set-up?

255/285 is good.

Yes, 255/35/19 front and 295/30/19 rear has quite a few options as well, otherwise it's 245/40/19 front and 285/35/19 rear.

Have you considered going with 18" or 20" wheels? There are more options for tire sizes and brands than 19". A lower priced tire will offset the cost of the new wheels.

I wanna keep the stock rims as those are light enough, but I plan on going with the stillen S/C and the bigger tire would def help with traction issues. I don't really see the benefit of a bigger front tire, but if I could could find a set of 4 tires that are better & lighter then stock then that would be a plus.

Bridgestone RE-11's FTW!

Why the F would you run that size? Stock is 275 35 19 - so if you want to retain stock ish tire diameter you would have to go... 305 30 19

So are u saying I should just go with a 245/285 tire set-up?

Here is how tire math works:

Sports pkg tires wheels:

Front: 19 x 9 @ 245/40/19 which means the sidewall height is going to be 40% of 245

so if you wanted to run a wider tire on the same rim... just make sure this formula applies: 0.40 * 245 = 0.35 (or even lower if you can find tires) * X where X is your new width...

similarly in the rear you would run the following:
0.35 * 275 = 0.30 * X (new width)...

You do this to ensure your rotational radius is kept as close to stock as possible (you will otherwise throw off electronics that use revolutions per min / sec off your tire...) - not to mention your speed readout lol..

:iagree:

This will give you the +/- speedo reading depending on the change from factory:
