Yeah that’s what the math says but figured it would actually be about the same... Someone please correct my warped thinking if it is so.

Check this out: I propose that

245/40/19x9 & 285/35/19x10.5

Would be the same dimensions (roughly within a couple MM height/circumference wize) as...

255/40/19x9.5 & 295/35/19x11

Comparison based on OEM Nismo Rays Vs 19x9.5 & 19x11.

Am I crazy?

JC would love to hear you’re thoughts on this. Glad to see you still with us BTW.

Rest Recover then run to a dealership and get another Z!

What brand tires are you considering?
As the Michelin’s seem to have a slightly shaved tread.

Just from viewing specs from Tire-Rack, the 27.1” will keep your speedometer accurate;
Looking at the section width- you won’t have a bulge/pretty square fitment & being close to a tad on stretched side.
I haven’t seen any of these tire’s in person; so unsure of actual dimensions vs. what The sizes are posted as.
Your wheel lips should definitely be noticeable with these on & ride quality should be 1st class.
Post pics if you get them,,,as everyone has their own preference to tire/wheel fitment.

These aren’t Michelin tire’s on this Z,,,been looking around for a fitment reference of a 295/35 on an 11” wheel.
It looks pretty square on this 350z...the 255 front’s are listed to be on 10’s...they appear to have some stretch.
You’re getting a premium tire w/Michelin.
I hope the specs posted on the PS4’s are more accurate than what is listed on the PSS’s.
As from previous pics I posted-they run a bit wider & in some cases aren’t quite as tall.
But I can contest that a tire will grow in diameter when mounted & inflated. I’ve seen this first hand with some Michelin A/S 3+’s
