Ok thanks. I'm trying to make things happen. Pretty much I have enough to get the kit but that it. I still have to keep working to be able to pay for paint and install. It's a process I know will take a little while. But its possible. I'm already getting wheels within the week. The wheels are Wedssport SA55M I am considering getting 10.5 back and just getting it rolled.

But what do I know? I've only owned 10 sets of 19s with various specs and tires since '05. lol

Offset does not add width to a wheel. LOL
That is partially correct but that's not how it works with the exact same tires. A 19x9.5 +3 (+18 -15mm spacer) wheel with 265s would have less stretch than the same tires on 19x10. Which means, you are more likely to rub with the spacers on.
What makes you think you don't? 255s on 19x9.5 +0 with a mild drop will rub on corners and over bumps. 265s on 19x9.5 +3 will rub. If you have a x9.5 and x10 wheel with the exact same offsets (+#) the x10 wheel will be closer to the fender.

What if i so 19x10.5 +24 in the rear and 19x9.5 +24 in the front with 255/35 front and 275/35 in the back. Im pretty sure i've seen you wont have to roll with a higher offset wheel. Would this work no roll? And would this be aggressive enough?
Thanks for all the help,

Ok here is a few pics of my car. Also I've noticed it kinda looks lower than some other stock Z's by these pics can you tell? Ill post some side profile pics tomorrow. Also I put some pics of this Bomex kit. It looks quite nice. Made in Japan and it's very aggressive but not long nose. What do you think about it? And I can get it for like 450$. Also I do not like the rear bumper or side skirts.

I assume you are being sarcastic. But it 15mm=.59 inches so yes 9.5+.59 is 10.1 inches. Which just means that the spacer would bring the wheel closer to the fender by .59 inches, simulating the effect a x10 wheel would have. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i know you don't have to roll fenders on 19x10.

Bomex kits remind me of the mid 90's and those nasty Honda body kits. Just my opinion though ( and I like my kits aggressive ). You should probably do a little homework in the wheels and tires section to get some ideas of what sizes and offsets people are running before making your purchase.

You stated that you could purchase that fugly Bomex kit for $450 and that it was 50% off..
But in your OP you posted authentic JDM parts which easily quintupled that kit in price.
How much disposable income do you really have for your exterior mods?
And why would you do such aggressive exterior body mods at stock height with stock 17's?

Just chill out its not like very many people can put down $5000 dollars on a body kit. Besides I just ordered my wheels today. They will be here on Friday. Getting them put on Saturday morning.
