Just my 2 cents

According to tirerack.com 275/30/19 fits on 9-11" rim. 305/30/19 fits 10.5-11.5" rim.

The 370z uses 9" front, 10" rear. Corvettes uses 9" front and 10" rear. I ran 275 fronts and 305 rears on my Corvette for 40,000 miles and they looked better and handled better than the stock 245 front, 275 rears.

The stock tires look funny on the wheel because front tread width is 8.1". Thre rear thread width is better at 10.2". I expect tires to have wider tread width than wheel.

pictures below are 305/30/19 RE050As's rear, 275/35/18 RE050A's front on stock 9 and 10" wheels.
