tire question
Looking to buy the Nitto 555RII tires for my 03 Z. However, looking at their website, the tire sizes available are 285/35/18 or either 305/35/18 for the rear. As we all know, the stock F1's are 295/35. Will these 305 size fit or will I have problems?? Thanks Ken

305's work awesome, no problems yet other then going around turns too fast 
I have five Z's on them so far. I'm sure you know they wear faster depending on how you drive but IMO I think they are really worth it! They stick way better then regular tires. I always tell people do you want to by fenders or tires? We got 9k plus miles on a set that was totally abused. One full track day @Buttonwillow with 115degree temps and just about weekly, "spirited" runs through the hills . I was at the P.R.I. show last week and talked with one of the NITTO guys and told them that we/I/whoever need the 335's but he kinda said would I rather have the 19inch or 18inch, not both 
Since I like the new Z rims plus its good for a lot of other cars I said 19. So hopefully they will be out soon. Yeah I know this doesnt do you any good but i thought I would shre what I found out. Get the 555IIr's or NT01's (yes the 315's also worked on our cars check out JB in socal) they are great! and for the money I don't think they can be beat.

Obviously these fit too.
