Is anyone considering not going staggered? If so what size wheels and tires would you run?

I am planning on going a lot less staggered than stock. I am gonna put 265/35/19 tires up front and keep using 275/35/19 in the rear. Both going to be extreme performance summer tires, Bridgestone RE-11's up front and Nitto NT-05's in the rear.
I wont be doing this until the stock tires go bald so by the time that happens there could be more options in the sizes I want, but this is my plan so far. That being said, if I was to run a non staggered setup on this car, I would run 19x10 wheels at all 4 corners with 275/35/19 tires at all 4 corners. |

It looks like you could run factory 19x10's with 275.35.19's on all four corners by using a 15mm spacer with longer studs on the fronts.

Just a little bit more traction, running non-staggered, I like that idea.

If you track the car with a non stagger you get the added benefit of rotating tires front to rear.

I remember reading an article about a 350Z in '03 or '04 that was attempting to build the best handling Z using a ground up approach. I think they managed to cram 295s on all four corners. They claimed it gave the car unrivaled balance (and as someone said already, rotatable tires).

That's not the reason why, although it does result in less grip up front and understeer in most cases. Let me borrow from Kalmairn at 6MT.net: Quote:

True, I agree 100%. But in every day driving(speed limit), would those rules still apply?
