Default Weld Rims For 350 Z

Does any body know the offset and part # for a weld rim for the 350 z? 15x9 rims. want to fit a 275/50/15 DR on them. Front rims 15 X 3.5. With (stock brakes on car).
Are there any other rims that will fit the Z with these tires?
Also what tires are you guys running.
Thanks

We use 15x8's with that tire size and has the best contact patch and height combo.. Trust me, I have done my research... Anyway, If you use a 15x8, you need a 5.5" backspace and the bolt pattern is 4.5 which is 5x 114.3..
If you want to go with a wider wheel, and decide to go with a 15x10, than you need a 6.5" backspace... I haven't seen anyone running a 9" wide weld, but if you did, than I would assume a 6" backspace would be perfect..

and I forgot about the fronts. We tried a set of 15x3.5's but couldn't get them to clear the brakes, even with a spacer... I am not sure of the offset or backspace though.. I will have to check, and I will let you know what works when we figure it out.
