OEM tires are starting to wear down & was thinking of going to a square setup while I upgrade the wheel size so I can squeeze a little extra life out of future sets.

I've seen some threads on the 370 but wanted to see if anyone is using a 19" configuration they would recommend for the current Z?

Trying to keep it OEM+ (or whatever it's referred to as), so I went with LMRS-1s. Front 19x9.5 Rear 19x10.5. Firehawk Indy 500 for the tires (I only drive when it's not raining).

Ask @zRedBaron he has good recommendations on a square setup.

I'm planning on a square setup too. So far, it looks like 19x10.5 +25-ish is the way to go, possibly with 275s all around. I have no idea how Sport model handle with only 245s.

will 19x10.5 fit ok on the front on a sport model? Must be a yes but saw 19x9.5 +22 all around with 275/35/19 tires on a 370 and the maybe add spacers for the rear but wouldn't mind getting 10.5 all around instead if possible.

The suspension geometry and wheel wells are all the same between models, so it should fit, but I haven't had a chance to measure for rubbing at full lock or anything yet. You might want to run rear spacers even with 10.5, if you're looking for a flush fit, since the rear wheel wells are bigger than the fronts.

I wanted more of a flush look so went with +12 in the back and it looks great in my opinion Volk Te37 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 and +12. Tires were Indy 500 love the way they look and overall great tire especially in the rain. 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 no rubbing at all lowered on swift springs.

I bought new silver rims, 4 - 19x9.5. I wonder if your larger tires would fit my rims? I’d like a bit larger, Pilot All-Seasons, whenever I replace.

I think 275 should be fine on a 9.5 but that would probably be the widest size you could go on a 9.5
285 may start to bulge.

In the front would a 265/40/19 be helpful at all? It's all I see in stock where I'm shopping
