Chris Forsberg and GT Radial Tires are teasing that they're going to be adding a new set of Rotiform wheels on the Z. Have any other wheel/ tire companies mentioned anything about the Z?

I love the specs, fitment is on point! But would probably go with a different style wheel and color.This Z has a set of SR8 Avant Garde wheels on it.

As much as I love 19s over 20s, the wheel well seems to be larger on the new Z over the 370z by a small amount. The front is a 255 40 19 and still has a little extra room for meat on a tire.
My thoughts are going big with either Volk Ultra GTR fitment which specs will be perfect for offset 20x10.5+26 and 20x12+20 tires or Litespeed racing forged magnesium same specs.
I would do 265/35/20 front and 305/30/20 rear which would be .3 larger of diameter filling in that little bit of gap from side to side. Front tires are the same as Porsche gt3rs so anyone questioning performance lol..

GT3 is a rear engine car while the Z is a front engine car. Thus the GT3 has more weight in the rear and less in front so smaller tires work fine in the front for it. It also has much larger rear tires than the Z. My point is it's apples and oranges in comparing the tire sizes of the two.

The tires in the front of a GT3rs are 265 width bigger than the Z. Anyways I think my rim and tire size choices above will look great while providing great performance still. Nismo 370z had 245 front 285 rear so I would do the same difference just up 2 sizes width wise for each.

I'm not disagreeing with your tire sizes, although I'd probably go 265 front and 295 rear. Makes sense to me. I'm just saying you can't really compare the tire sizes of a rear engine car with those of a front engine car as the weight bias for each is totally opposite. The Z has more of its weight on the front tires and the GT3 more of its weight on the rear tires.
My 1LE has 285s on the front and 305s on the rear. It's a front engine car like the Z. Both the front and the rear tires/wheels are huge (20 x 10 front and 20 x 11 rear). That's really a better comparison front engine to front engine. And 285s are absolutely huge for front tires.

Agreed. 295 or 305 for the rear is a must for 500whp for this car as well. A better tire than what's on it is definitely needed even if it were a 275 as well..
They are ok... for a subtle look sure they're not bad.

While I like those wheels and understand why people get them. I just think other styles suit the new Z better. It's a bit too retro for this newer design, or maybe I just need more time to warm up to it.
