I can't emphasize that enough, the Goodyears make the car handle tremendously better in every situation as opposed to the OEM 040's. Of course they're sticky and are glued to the road in the canyons, but over all road surfaces, especially bumpy or even slightly bumpy roads, the Goodyears give you a much better overall ride and handle normal street imperfections so much better! Just a much smoother ride all the time, and when it's time to get goin', they're a dream. BTW, I got them off Ebay from a guy named Brinster for $1375, shipping included.
One of the reasons I got them. The other wheels I was looking for were all over $2K if not $2500. He's located in VA. I think he almost always has a set of Nismos available on Ebay. It was my largest Ebay transaction, and was smooth as silk. Mark (Brinster) is a good guy!

I read that the stock Z has an offset of 30, I'm not exactly sure how much or little I would need................................

I also ordered the Hotchkis suspension TVS Stage I Kit, which I'm still waiting for......... Bottom line, you have a lot to choose.....
Here is a better view of the rims..............http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/100_1788.jpg
