Hi Guys,
I'm new here and new to the 370Z club, just like to share some photos about Meaty Tires

Not as wide as some here, but I went for what is legal over here and maximum recommended tyre size per wheel width, again due to road rules.

Tyre Brand: Goodyear
Front: 265/40/19 (Wheel is +25 Offset)
Rear: 295/35/19 (Wheel is +12 Offset)

Goodyear have wider treads than other tire brands per width spec.
Example. The 295 has 12 inch Tread and it shows clearly when you see it, compare it to a Michelin 305 or 315, it actually has wider Tread.

Compare the Goodyear 295 to the Stock Nismo Dunlop 285, the tread is a good inch and a bit wider even though they're suppose to be only 10mm difference.

The wall ratio I chose also led to a 2.5% increase in height increase for the front and about 1.2% increase for the rear. End result is the wheel gap for front and rear are reduced, with the front reduced by about 0.4 inch, on top of the Nismo's already reduced by 0.4 inch the front looks lowered even though it is on stock springs and suspension setup.
