I think nominal for 9" is 265 and nominal for 10" is 285.

Make sure you have the aggresive fitments to warrant the stretch. Nothing worse than sunken wheels because of underspec tires. On aggressive fitment though it looks insane.

255 is "spec" for a nine (meaning the tire is straight up and down)

285 is "spec for a ten (" " " ")

Going backwards 245 / 275 gives a very slight tilt to the tire, looks sexier, but not bad for everyday.

It goes on and on from there so just figure out how stretched you want to be.

I hope this helps!

yea i have a too aggressive offset i have +15 all around right now. before i bought the tires i didnt think about the tire sizes too much and the thickness tats why i just bought 245/35/19 and 275/30/19, which in diameter wise is smaller, so it threw off my speedometer. with the current size right now I rub whenever i go through a big dip on the free way, or sometimes if a plaza has a super steep slope it will rub my fenders. if i go back to the thickness of 45 and 40 like the stock tires, it will fill up my tiregap and look alot better, but my rear will rub even more crazy, thats why i was wondering if i can go down to probably 255s for the rear and i wouldnt rub as bad.

any thoughts?

Well pictured below are pics of my Z when I once had it yrs ago.
I had 19x9.5f and 19x10.5r with 245/35/19f and 275/30/19r. The tires had the perfect stretch to them as I too had aggresive offsets on the wheels of my Z.

Now if you have them by 9f and x10r and with the aggresive offsets you got your wheels in, then I would go with 235/35/19f and 265/30/19r. It should give it the perfect stretch you would need for your aggresive offset wheels. It would look similar to how I had it on my Z. Good luck.

^im not tat worried about the front, im more worried about the rear. the rear rubs tat it kinda shifted my bumper up and it kinda cracked my tails. tats the part tat sux. i kinda wanna get a lil thicker tires so i have a better ride and i can fill up more wheel gap with the body. I just want to go thicker tires so my front can have less wheel gap on my drop right now and my speedometer would be accurate. did u have falken FK452? was ur speedometer off? sick car btw!!!!!

Oh ok then. Well I had the Yokohama AVS Sport tires on mines, and the speedometer wasn't off. And thanks for the compliments on my old Z.

i was planning on going 245/35 and 285/30 on the 10.5 in the rear lowered on H&R springs. Still don't know what tire size I want.

^its a good tire size if u run 20s i think
coz if u run 19s, the diameter is smaller than stock which throws off ur speedometer.
if ur worried about rubbing, aslong as ur offset is not like mine, u shouldnt rub at all.
