I'm not sure what you are inquiring about... When people talk about a "square" setup they traditionally mean wheels of the same width, not tires. I personally think that a 275 or 285 would look ridiculous with the stock 9" wheels in the front. A lot of guys will go with a 255 or 265 up front and a 295 or 305 in the rear to get a more aggressive look. As for spacers two popular combos are 15mm(F)-20mm(R) and 20mm(F)-25mm(R). I would never recommend using spacers while at an auto-x event. Obviously the stud replacement spacers require a more intense installation, but give greater peace of mind. If you do stud replacement spacers, your stock lug nuts/wheel locks will still work just fine. When you replace the studs the only thing you change is the length of the stud to accommodate the spacers. Any other questions just reply or PM me.

Yeah, I suppose I should have said quasi-square since the wheels aren't the same. I realize the front wheel will be slightly taller and more narrow but it still gets you 90+% of the way to the same balance as a true square setup. Thanks for your advice on spacers. I haven't auto-x'd with a Z yet but it's something I'd like to try. The only issue is can I fit in the car with a helmet on...lol. If I do decide to get spacers and go with the larger front wheel, I'll probably go ahead and do the 15mm stud replacement up front.
