J, what were the specs on those advan's you had on your Z and did you need a spacer? Seemed like a perfect fit with whatever tires you had on them as well.

I'm thinking about getting the RZ's 19x9 +25 / 19x10 +35 and painting them white...

Those specs aren't good. Mine is the GTR34 spec. 18X10J +15 all around.

but my car sits higher with the nismo suspension, which is the main reason im going with 19's. are the offsets too much? I'm wanting them to be flush with the top of my fenders and i read with 10mm spacers and those specs, it would. I hate to pass these up, the guy only wants 1,200 for them with some minor curb-age, which i would fix when i paint them.

Those wheels will be tucked inside of your fenders slightly. Simply put-> Not what you want! Don't use spacers.. They will make the wheel look good, but if you drift or drive hard, your wheels might fall off.

ah, you have a lot to learn there young apprentice...

well, in a nutshell... staggered usually means running different sizes of wheels. i.e. 19x9.5 F and 19x10.5 R... obviously the tires are different sizes too. and "non staggered" is running all 4 of the same sizes.

but, you can have the same rim size all around but have the tires different sizes and it can still be considered staggered.

well that's it... in a nutshell. there may be more factors to it, but that's my take on it... GL on wheels!

my personal favorites:

LE37 Gloss Black
TE37 Time Attack
Work Emotion
RPF1
VS-XX
Meisters S1

i'm sure they are everyone's favorites... hah

Mpact,

Perfect offset for 350z has been confirmed for past 5 years yo!
9.5J 22+ front, 10.5J 22+ I think your old TE37 had the same spec! If you want the wheels to stick out more, you can use thin spacers like 3mm or 5mm ones. 3mm spacer will make your wheels 9.5J 19+, 10.5J 19+. You can use 3~5mm spacers without any problems.

I figured~ HAHA

Andrew, I have to burrow your expertise on DSLR stuff.
I have to take pictures of the products I'm selling at my on-line shopping mall, because we are renewing the website. So, I need to buy a DSLR and related items in order to do this. Basically I need to make a small studio. Can you tell me what I need to do this?
