Specs on the wheels Front 19x9.5 Rear 19x10.5
Having a sedan you make answering this question tough, not sure the 10.5" rim will even fit on the back of your four door? Those are the perfect size rims for a coupe but we have much more room.

The oem size is 285/35r & 245/40f. I have a coupe and currently have 275r slight stretch but doable. I am planning to run 295/30 rear in the future and crossing fingers hoping they will fit.

I think you can't go wrong fitting 275 in the back with no rubbing issues and if you are not low.

Cool ,and I'll do coilvers next year but not to slam it just to get ride of any wheel gap that's about it , I think 275 in the rear Would be too agressive? ,and what about the 255 that Would be stretched right

Ah, I would suggest get your coilovers first before settling down on your wheel & tire. 255 on a 9.5 is perfect fit imo. If you are going low then a 265 on 10.5 rear sedan is the safest bet.

Personally I prefer meaty tires on my coupe.

Already got the rims lol I'm not worried about the front I'll prob do 245/40/19 for the fronts , and see if the 265 will For on the rears ,I just don't want to roll any fenders or camber wanting that flush look

^^^You really need to do more research on your project before you go any further. You'll never get a 265/275 tire on a 10.5" wheel to fit a sedan without rolling/flattening your fenders and adding in negative camber unless it has an unreal positive offset number. This is 245/45/18 on a 9" rim with an offset of +25. Car is dropped 3" from stock and running OEM camber and toe specs with Stillen camber arms and SPC toe bolts.


Attachment 196553 Click on this link for the pic, another fail by Photobucket.

So imagine if you will trying to fit a 265 on a 10.5 rim in place of my wheels, it just wouldn't work.

BTW the rear wheels you bought have an offset of +23 which is more aggressive than mine at +25. GL with your project, sub'd for final results.

I hear you makes sense, and even with a 245 on the rear or 255 ,it will still look stretch I'm assuming on the rear 370z wheels 19x10.5

Yep, a lot of tire places won't fit a 245 on a 10.5" because it's a pretty good stretch.

I'm not a fan of stretched tires but a lot of people are. Definitely helps wide wheel set ups tuck under the fender though.

With all our recommendations you haven't come to the realization these wheels weren't made for and won't fit a sedan! Sell these Z wheels and find a set that will actually work with the right size tires for your ride! You've creating yourself a nightmare and taking us along with you...wake up!
