Only for track and only to save money on tires.

If your Z already has 19s from the factory then it's a sport package and 17" wheels wont fit over the brakes.

Check it out, even your spare tire is an 18" forged rim ... 4 inches wide

Well, I hate paying around 1K for tires all around, the smaller the more "economical" and there are a lot of pot holes around town; and "if" i get the 370z it won't be a matter of driving skill but unavoidable holes in which i do not want to deal with.

And well, Just wandering if it will affect anything..and what DDmotorsport said really made sense..if brakes don't fit..then I might be looking at the non-sport model instead..

Thx for the feedback!
