I will look for a better deal, but the Michelin Pilot Sports are darn close to $500.00 a corner.

So with 19 x 10.5" rear and 19 x 9.5" fronts, what non-square tire size \ setup would be close to max for the car?

Maybe 285 front and 305 rear?, or is that a bit much? 305 might be a little TOO massive on the rear?

Like i said, no plans to drop the car til warranty is over. I know if the engine puts a rod through the side of the block, warranty should NOT be affected by unrelated mods like lowering springs or coil-overs...but I dont feel like tempting fate.

I am keeping the 4 factory 18" wheel \ tire setup in storage and I also have already purchased 4 x 18" RAY replica wheels and snow tires for the Winter.

I know, I know....Winter.....but i can only store one car for the Winter and thats my other car so the Z is going to get driven.

Thanks for the input

You never mentioned PSS before. I guess it depends on the condition.

I didn't explain properly the first time, my mistake. I was looking to buy wheels only, then buy my own tires and have them put on the wheels, balanced, etc.

I am currently talking with a fellow with OEM wheels at a better price than before.
The prices seem to be all over the map...another seller is asking (probably wont see it) 3k CAD for a set. 500 miles only on them.

Sorry for taking the thread off topic somewhat, I appreciate the replies and thank you again for (everyone's) input.

Peter
