I was hoping I would find some info though on good pairings for tire sizes that would fit the stock 19 inch forged rays that are on the 2013/2014 370z. I don't have spacers and would rather not add any.

Currently stock sizes are 245/40/19 F and 275/35/19 R, I'd like to go wider front and rear but am trying to avoid a setup that will make the understeer worse.

Recommendations from owners of stock 19 inch forged rays would be appreciated! would love to know what you're running and if you are using spacers or not.

Feel free to PM so so it doesn't clog up this thread. Cheers

For that setup, it seems that 265/35/19 up front and 305/30/19 on the rear from what I have read on this thread. For Nismo rims you can go even wider, 285/35/19 front and 325/30/19 rears.

Going to. I have a little bit more wear for the existing rear. About 3mm and 5000 miles or so. I don't change until I represent onion grips.

Only thing I am worried about is being able to get 20k miles out of the rear set of RE11's. I drive my hoopty. I am at 21K now on my existing 285/35 SO4's. I make it to right at 25K miles for the rears.

Many thanks for the response, my bigger question is will this rub without spacers?
