Re: Sedan RIms
Those tire sizes give you a diameter that most closely matches stock. However, you might have a hard time finding those sizes. Check tirerack.com but you might need to bump to 245 and 275, respectively, to find anything.

Re: Sedan RIms
Rushing to staggered setups for looks sake, I dunno, I love this car and I hate to see some of you doing this and not realizing how your cutting down the performance handling of the car, most Z drivers that are after performance are rushing away from their oem staggered setups. As sports compact car discovered as well, equipping their Z with 275's front and rear. The sedan already has understeer, don't know why you'd want to add to it. 265's should be possible in the front given the right offset. I bring this up not make anyone feel bad, it should be known that I am a huge advocate of performance.

Quotes from the above link.
"Everyone else is putting on huge rear tires with relatively skinny fronts. This looks mean as hell and gives the illusion that the car has so much power it would vaporize lesser rubber. This is an illusion."
"We've driven several Zs that were done this way. Some of them worked brilliantly, but none rode as well or managed to feel as balanced and easy to drive as ours does. And none of the good ones did it on real street tires."
"A neutral, rear-drive car should be easily balanced mid-corner with the throttle. Lift off the gas and the tail should step out slightly. Ease onto the gas and the front tires should slowly start to slide. In a properly balanced car, the transition to oversteer is so gradual and predictable you can hang the car right on that transition point as long as you want."
Screw the lawyers.
"Nissan engineers left an insane amount of room for wide tires and, naturally, there's more room in the back than up front. This has led most people to continue this ludicrous staggered tire setup by trying to stuff the rear wheel wells with as much tire as possible. We went the opposite way, stuffing as much tire as possible under the front fenders and then using that size at both ends."
After adding the tires/wheels, Hotchkis swaybars, and a Kazz LSD, they had this to say.
" After battling understeer for so long, we didn't really expect wheels, tires, anti-roll bars and a differential to be a complete handling solution. We expected to need stiffer bushings, more camber and possibly even coil-overs. Thankfully, we were wrong. The Z's handling behavior is now exactly what we had hoped for. Turn-in is crisp and immediate, the steering is precise and predictable, and the limit is approachable, controllable and perfectly neutral. With the front and rear bars set on their middle settings, our Z snakes through the slalom at 71.8 mph. That's 1 mph faster than a stock track-package Z and 1.6 mph faster than our Z was stock. Several of the more understeer-biased modified Zs we've tested are faster through the slalom, since the slalom test tends to favor understeer. Balance on the skidpad, though was superb, with a two-way average of an even 1.0g.
The beauty of this setup is that it's adjustable. If you favor tight, twisty roads with corners as tight or tighter than a typical entrance ramp and a little bit of countersteer doesn't intimidate you, do exactly as we did. If you prefer faster roads or tracks or have nightmares about going off the road backward, use the stiffer front bar setting and you can be confident you'll go off the road forward."
