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.
hmm... well what you are saying is that your fronts are .9" shorter than your rears... and that tells me i could get away with running the 275/30/19 front since they are .7" shorter.

this is a terrible pain in the *** when they dont make tires in the sizes you need.

Yes that is what I am saying ...... it works

Yes and the fact that the RE-11 don't come in the 275/35/19 sizing ... is a pain in da a**. That's why the 285/35/19 size has my interest and should fit on my 9.5" Volk rim. But I think I'll wait until my present tires wear out and I need new ones. Maybe by then they may have some nice drag radials and track wheels available in 19" sizes.
