Should I stay with S04 Pole Position or get anything else?

What would be the sidewall size on those, 255-40 in front and 285-35 in rear? How much turn in sharpness will I be giving up going wider in front? Sent

285 35 19 rear. or 295 35 19... front i dont want to comment on sidewall height, i run 265/35 or 285/35...
not to sound like an *** but as for the sharpness you would not be able to tell the difference in my opinion . even with wide 285 I cant tell loosing any sharpness, can tell there is more grip and less under steer for sure.. when in doubt go wider if itll fit

You have no problem fitting 265 in front? Any rubbing? Did you have to get spacers

What's the widest you can go in front without rubbing? Sorry kinda new to the Z, coming from BMWs I love these sizes

ive seen 295/30/19 hoosiers on a stock wheel, ive ran 285/35 myself up front. 265/35 would fit no problem with no rubbing
just run a 265/35 and 305/35 and call it a day

Thanks, I've decided to keep it 245 & 275 after all, and stay with the S04 Pole Positions.

Kenchan says the Pole Positions run a little small, I am most likely going to get S-04's this month and I plan to run 285's all around.

Problem is I am a little anal about matching the sidewall height on the ratio. 245/40 and 275/35 are almost same sidewall height.

I could do 255/35 and 295/30 they're really close but I'm wondering if the extra width is going to make a difference. I like the steering feel and grip just perfect right now, not sure if I will regret changing it . I don't mind if tramlining increases but I would be bummed if steering feel got affected.

Wait, did you say 285's all round - square setup? Aren't the wheels in front and rear different size, how well does this car adapt itself to a square setup? Once again sorry if these are noob questions, not familiar enough with the car yet.
