If you are going the OEM route, I have 255/60-15 on 15x8 steel ralleys w/ 4"BS on the and 235/60-15 on 15x7 steel ralleys w/ 4.25"BS. They fit real nice with no interference issues. The tires are Yokakama's. In the price range I was looking at they had the best dry traction and wet traction rating, even better the the BFG T/A's. The cost for all 4 was about $250 delivered to my door and I had a buddy mount & balance the for $30. Total was about $145 less than BFG thru NTB. Only have about 150 miles on them but I like them so far with one exception, I would have prefer solid white letters instead of the outlines. I'll sent you some pics of the tires/wheels to your email.

Pupertray........Sent the pics yesterday so you should have them by now. If you want more I can roll the Z outside for some better lighting and take a few more for you. By the way my typing needs some help, the tires are Yokohama's and I bought them on-line at TireRack.com.
