I completely agree with how people post mis-leading information when they have not personally delt with the issue. When I purchased these wheels, I was going with the information off of my350z.com that I wouldn't be able to drop it as low as I wanted without any problems to, due to the widths I wanted.
I then got my wheels, took matters in my own hands, and everything is perfect!!! I can't believe I can completely SLAM my car down so far I can almost tuck the tires and still have room to play with. sooo kick _ _ _ !
I'm glad you like the pics joust. Feels good to know that others like what i've done to my car :-)

....for your health
It's not necessarily misinformation because there are a number of people running 10.5 in the rear that did have to roll their fenders. However most are running a wider tire 285+. And I think Joust hit it on the head when he mentioned that offset has alot to do with it. What is your offset by the way?

Awesome wheels Webiteks!
I've only seen these on Audi's (iforged version) with a painted center like yours. I was thinking of photoshoping them on a Z to see how they actually look like but thanks to you it's done.
These wheels are ideal but WAAAAY out of my price range!
Good luck with them..drive carefully!

I honestly am not sure on the offsets now, haha. You want to talk with BEN at Wheels Boutique. Tell him Chris sent ya and he'll take care of ya.
As for room left on the inside of the wheel well, I have a good 2" left to play with. The only thing, with as low as I went already, I can just visually look at the rear tires and see they are out of camber, so I will be buying the Stillen rear camber kit to fix this. The front however, doesn't seem all that bad to mess with right now. Camber kits are so damn expensive !
