Steering may be a little tougher, but overall, handling with that setup should be great. You should be fine with just a fender roll

Theres really no reason to put 265's on the fronts and 295's on the rears with those sizes for future reference when you are buying new tires. Unless you are FI and need to put more rubber on the ground or just like a beefy tire then a 245 275 or a 255 285 (what i run) is good.

I mean i guess a beefier tire will weigh more but its really nothing to worry about. It's just they cost more and when you run something such as PS2's or Advan Sports it gets costly.

A buddy of mine runs 285/305 on a NA 350z and placed nationally in autox, so going that wide still has benefits. He went up to the wider sizes from 275 all around last year

bump the question above

I just picked them up today. He gave me some generic lug nuts w/ them, but recommended I pick up some Rays lugs w/ a lock. Could I just use these lugs and buy a set of locks? I'd rather not buy new lugs if possible.
