Confused about tires...

Sorry if I'm "that guy" but I seem to be confused by which tire size and model to go with on the factory sport wheels. I don't mind how the RE050s look on my Z but, I don't plan on buying something with that kind of treadwear again. I am deciding between either KDW2s, nitto NT05s, and maybe INVOs, but I don't care so much about the ride comfort. The second thing I was trying to piece together is width. There seems to be several threads with bits and pieces of info. Are 275/35/19 ok up front? and 305/30/19 in the back? Do I need spacers for either set up? Also, I like tires to have a recessed bead (rim curb protection and the look of them). Is there anyone running any of the above listed tires that can speak from experience? I'm pretty sure i know what the KDWs are gonna look like, but not 100% due to the profile.

Thanks guys...

Maybe there should be a sticky on tire/spacer stuff? :tup:

I'd be interested in an answer to these questions as well
