Absolute Widest Tire on Stock 19s

Unless you dropped in a V8 or are running a turbo, you may have issues getting your NA Z moving, lol. Wider tires are also much heavier than the OEM

I have 345's on the rear. Have no issues with them.

Mostly, I want to be able to launch the car at the drag strip with little to no spin. I'm considering going with the RE-11s due to opinions of people on here because I have no experience with tire performances with this car. This is the first set of tires that I'm buying. I do plan to be making about 450whp with a nitrous setup in the future but, honestly, will probably have done went through this new set of tires.

If I can stick to stock sizes with the RE-11s and get really good traction, on and off the track at around 320whp, I'd definitely rather go that route. So what would you do in my shoes?

The trick to this is dynamic rear camber on the 370Z. The more you squat the more negative camber the rear gains. If you really cared about drag racing times you'd start with positive camber...
