19x7.5 +35 they are going on the car tomorow. Dont need the wide a$$ wheels in the back because im gonna stay N/A for a while and they are pretty light. Plus all the same size is nice to have on the track.

Constructive criticism here: Poor choice in wheel size, even worse choice in tire size and gigantic mistake in offset. Other than that they looks good.

15 mm spacers will look much better.

I appreciate the advice and was well aware of this before i purchased the wheels. They fit my needs as far as width and tire size so im not complaining plus they are lighter than my stock rims so thats a plus. I have never seen them on a Z before (obvious reasons listed above) but I like a challenge and I am pretty sure i can make them look good. Ill post some more detailed pics when I get the final set up done. I had to go out of town right after i got them installed.

spacers in the rear, should've bought wider. You can always stretch tires, but good luck getting 275/40 back there. clean look though.

7.5 is the widest these came in... plus I dont have the money to put a set of really expensive wheels on. I know there are plenty of other choices that are inexpensive but i liked these the best.

Why didn't you just get Rota's if you couldn't afford expensive wheels. I've seen 7.5 wide wheels on a Honda and they still tucked inside the wheel well.
