The 305/30 is a 26.3" diameter tire. The stock tires are .3" taller in the front.

RE11s come in a 275/30/19 which is 25.6" diameter. So its a shorter overall tire. I am afraid this could cause the VDC to freak out. Unfortunately they do not offer a 275/35/19. There IS a 285/35/19 which would work out to about .6" taller front, but I am worried that its getting to the point that the front will be noticeably taller and look funny, not to mention my concerns about that even fitting at all in the front being that wide and that tall.

Has anyone run a 275/30/19 with a 305/30/19 and had or not had VDC issues?

Actually the VDC on the 370Z is quite forgiving.

I ran Toyo 1R1's on the Volk rims, I have, before I switched the tires on the stock rims I have presently. I have 285/35/19 26.9" and 255/35/19 26.0" and the VDC nor do the anti-lock brakes freak out at all. I'm pleasantly surprised and compared to the 350Z, it's a miracle

I would like to see a set of 285/35/19 tires matched to a set of 305/30/19 on a 370Z and see how they look. The tire diameters look good and I would only be worried about fender clearance and how well it would fit the stock rims.
