Staggered tire sizes

I'm getting my 280Z this week and I need new tires. She comes with stock sizes and I'd like to jump to 15" and I really like the staggered look. Has anyone done this without any modifications? I'm looking at 215/60/15 on the front and 225/50/15 on the back. Thanks!

I don't know why they wouldn't fit. That is exactly the size I have on my '82 280zx. (215/50/15 all 4 wheels) With 8" inch wide wheels.

Oh and welcome to Zdriver!

They will fit without modification, but your Z will have a slight rake to the rear due to the shorter sidewall of the rear tires.
