Wheel/tire widths and offsets would be a nice start.

Or you could get a ruler and measure how much gap you've got between the rim and the fender...

Ouch, those are extremely tucked. Definitely not sized for a 350z.

If you want them close to flush you'll have to run about a 25mm spacer up front and a 35mm spacer in back, or as close to that as possible...

25mm+ spacers should come in the type that include a 2nd set of lugs and stud extensions. Make sure you get them and you won't need to mess with logner studs.

Yeah, those are "DRM" I believe (I forget the acronym for the regular spacers). Most of the brands that I've seen use them on the larger spacers.
