I like them so far..they do excellent in the rain and theres not very much noise at all. The looks are the best part of the tires. I ended up going with 225/45's and 255/45's. I wish i could have went with a 275/40 in the rear but due to rim width that was a no go. Nissan really needs to think about offering the touring wheels in some wider width's for guys who want to keep the stock look.

Nismo springs look good. I would do other mods before getting wheels. The new Nissan factory wheels look tight already.

To us we can tell a difference. To a typical person walking by, you're still stock.

I think to give a better illustration of the difference, you need to post some profile pics. For me, it looks pretty close to the same ride height from that angle.
