Why do you want to go to a stretched tire? Just like the look? Or are you going to lower it to the point where you are tucking the tires/wheels?

I think there are many different setups for a Z that can look good. But I really like the look of a mild stretch. As I mentioned above I think it really brings out the entire lip on the wheel. I would never move to that setup if I felt it was going to be unsafe or cause an extreme loss in performance. I don't have any plans to lower to the point of tucking tire, just enough to get rid of that wheel gap. I agree, I think a 265 is probably what I'd be looking for. Just have to figure out if I want to do it or not. Thanks for the input
