The offsets dont look as you noted honestly, because +18 would almost touch the fender.. Mine does..
Thats the only reason I didnt opt for iforged.. They dont tell you the offset nor do you really get a choice..

You're right about iForged and the offsets. I've had my wheels for at least 4 years now and the offset numbers are based on what a member of this forum posted back then as I basically copied what he ordered. iForged never confirmed what the offsets were when I ordered the wheels.

The Seibon hood is a little off on the passenger side but there is nothing I can do about it. I guess it's part of the risk of buying aftermarket. I've actually seen worst fitments of carbon fiber hood than this one. It actually looks worse in pictures than in person.
I know the look of the VT hood is not for everyone but I like it's aggressive look. I thought about leaving the vents with the carbon fiber look but after looking at pics. I liked the look better of a completely painted hood.
My wheel offsets are:
19x8 +18 Front (245/35/19 Tires)
19x10 +29 Rear (285/35/19 Tires)
I did have to get narrow spacers in the front to (I believe 3/16") to clear the Rotora calipers)
Do these look wrong?

Question
...how do you know your offsets when iforged does not disclose their custom offsets for the Z?Also... the reason why most guys buy from iforged is having custom offsets "made to order" for your car and their should be no reason for the use of spacers....

Regarding the spacer, at the time I purchased my wheels I had no intention of getting a big brake kit so the offset that it came with was fine for the stock calipers. If I would've known back then that I was getting Rotora's I would've ordered a different offset.
You have excellent taste. I have spent a bit of time trying to find the same combination of body kit pieces to get the slightly more aggressive, yet not overkill look. This is one of the combinations I've kept at the top of my list.
If you got it to look just how you wanted it then that's all that matters. Everyone has their own idea of perfect.

I have been considering the INGS side skirts to replace my GReddy skirts, and I also have the Veilside front lip. Would you say the front end of the side skirt is about even height with the front lip? The main problem I have with the GReddy skirts is that they seem to sit lower in the front than the front lip does, which bothers me. From your pictures they appear to be about dead even...
Also maybe I missed it, but what is your suspension setup?
