That doesn't even make any sense... there isn't even an inch difference between a 305 and a 325, and that should be cut in half since 10mm should go to each side
I'm going to investigate further... I may do it and try to redirect the ducts a bit with some heat
I ordered a set of f14s for my 99 frc back at the end of February, should be getting them soon. Still on the fence about which tires I want to run.
Wheels are 18x9.5 and 19x11. My car is lowered on zip bolts (all the way down in the front and almost all the way in the rear) running about 1/2" of rake measured from the jacking locations.
I would like to keep the same stance I have now on OEM z06 wheels.
What size tires do you guys running 18x9.5 and 19x11s recommend?
I've seen mixed opinions on going 265 vs 275 in the front and 295 vs 305 in the rear.
Here is a picture of my car as it sits now.

I run 265/35/18 and 305/30/19 also lowered on zip bolts. Reason I did 265/35 is because the sidewall height is almost identical to the 305/30. the 275/35 is a little taller but wider. What color F14's did you go with? I went with the semi gloss/satin black. Looks like are cars will be twins lol
Your car looks great! I went with gloss black.
I think I'm going to run 265 in the front I'd rather keep the sidewall size similar to the rear.
Going to run c6z brakes under them as well. Can't wait till they arrive!
Did you ever measure your rake?
I was considering dropping mine from 1/2" to 1/4" I like the stance it has now but I wouldn't mind a little less gap in the rear wheel.
Right now my front is at 3.5" and rear at 4" measured from the ground to jacking Puck locations.
Ground to fender is about 26 1/8" front and 27 1/2" rear.
I have about 6 threads above the nut on the zip bolts in the rear.

Looks much better than i thought they would. Looks great!!!! Since there is no clear, are you going to have to polish them all the time?
They won't require a polish every week, but it does give me the ability to polish. This was an absolute must have for me. I'm in control of the finish and any minor scratch or nick can be sanded out and polished. This is the same thinking of CCW I stripped the clear off my wheels back when I was 17. I absolutely loved the ability to polish the aluminum. Now, I'm back to it.
Look at this photoshop mockup that c5vetteguy was kind enough to do for me...so I could see what they'd look like on quicksilver.
Looks great! Would look even better on my Z.
I think fully polished F14's will look great on ANY Z. Love the photoshop pic - way cool.
I am a huge F14 fan. Had gloss piano black on my C6 GS. My wife's IS250 wears brushed titanium. Now, my C5 wears fully polished. These are fantastic, lightweight, and strong wheels that are affordable. HRE isn't making a flow-form wheel for no reason.
