don't have 20's, but those sound like the right sizes.

I would suggest you go with the RS*R Ti2000 for the Z which will actually lower your G about 1.1F and 1.1R. excellent performance and still keeps ride comfortable. I have these springs after replacing my Z H-Techs so I am biased.

those are the correct tire sizes, you could go with 255/30/20 and 285/30/20 also

35 instead of 30 might make it more than 2% bigger than OEM wheel diameter so it would throw off the speedo and/or vdc

35 series are too big.. stick with the 30 series.. they're closer to the stock diameters

I would run 255's and 275's. 245 on a 9.5 will be quite a bit more stretch than the 275's in the rear.

Either one will work fine. 245/30 or 255/30.

LOL just buy the darn tires so you can throw the dubs on your whip..

245/30/20 255/30/20 front
275/30/20 285/30/20 rear

The difference is too small to argue over. Stay within those sizes above and go enjoy the wheels.

Also 350z S techs will lower your G an additional .5 inches to the drop you stated.
