Upgrading Tires on oem performance wheels + air suspension. Will these fit ?

[Ali023]

2023 z performance
Going on air suspension soon, airlift 3p
500whp/503tq, need all the grip
Looking to keep oem wheels for now
Michelin pilot sport 4s
265/35/19 front
295/35/19 rear
Will those fit ? Will it tuck on air ?
thanks

OEM wheels have awfully high offset so it'll tuck but it won't look good. Wheels will look even more sunken in.

You'll lose grip without suspension travel. Especially on NY roads.

I also have z1 sway bar set , rear traction arms , rear camber arms , upper control arms, z1 rear diff brace.
I can possible add spacers too

Nice but if you keep them tucked, they are practically useless. Will it even get your alignment within spec?

Just saying since you said you need all the grip and then followed it up by tucking the wheels.

I'm just picturing a slammed car skipping down the street.

Oh I meant , slammed only at car shows / meets / parked lol. But for driving it’ll be the same height swift springs give me.

Without me googling, what’s the purpose of the air suspension? I’ve always wondered if it was just a looks thing or a purposeful thing ? The most suspension work I ever had done on an old Z was coilovers which I needed for an old 25 year old Z of mine.

Airlift 3p is a track rated suspension. It’s basically coilivers but better with more adjustability. Airlfit changed from 5-7 yrs ago, it’s better now and even high hp cars have air. Can handle over 700whp easily.

Interesting, thanks for sharing, always assumed air ride was for stance vs performance, ie “if you ain’t rubbing, you ain’t dubbing” type crowd.
Re: your tire selection, with 500 whp, I agree, you do need all the grip and ps4s aren’t gonna cut it, I’d suggest moving up to sport cup 2s and a dedicated performance all season for not spring and summer, or better yet a dd for the winter time. Just my 2cents.

PPS or MP4S ain’t gonna grip when you launch it. It’s only good on stock HP, 15-30k good mileage.
You need at least;
-R888Rs, grip but super suck on wet,dangerous 7-10k mileage
-NT01 heard good things about them,
-Nankang AR1s,good overall good grip,good on wet, I had ran 2sets with them.
-Good Year egale F1 3R, grip and fast on track.
-Cup2 are good, 7-10k mileages
these are R compounds on street legals tires.
Remember all these tires has to be warmed up for maximum grip.
These r compound give you about 7-10k mileages.
*R888Rs would be my last choice , I had ran 3-4sets with them, they are old technology.
On other side is slicks, Hoosier/MT/Toyo RRs for the rear.

You need 2 sets of wheels, 1 for summer , 1 for winter , all these R compounds don’t work in winter , or heavy rains.
I had good experience with AR1s in my GTR, FBO full E85 , good traction,
going 70-80 on I95 NJ in wet.
Toyos I’ll be doing 45,
