My wheel and tire setup - need expert advise.

Ah I get it. Thanks for the info.
Just curious what size are you going to use for the rear tires? since it's a front engine, other than for better cornering, more weight and what not is there a bad thing going wider on the rear for the 370?
Going 270 up front will you need spacers?

I run a 295 up front on the time attack 350Z, and will be running a 275 up front on my track setup for the 370Z. Going with a wider front tire will hurt the vehicle's turn-in and straight line speed with the added weight and rolling resistance, but what it gains in corner entry and mid corner speed usually far outweighs the losses.
