Looks like you got some nice parts, why the cheap wheels. Go with something bigger better and much more aggressive offset and you'll be set.

Nice start. Better wheels or spacers would go along way.

Dont waste your time on spacers. Sell the wheels and get a better set. Rotas are cheap and look nice on the Z so thats just a suggestion if your budget isnt in the volk/work category

I see a lot of people with spacers plus I don't know how much wider than 8" in the front and 9" in the back I want to go. The biggest I'm gonna get is a 9.5 or 10" in the back so why not just buy some spacers. I dont think my rims look that bad thats why I bought them, wouldnt mind havin some volks though just not ready to pay an arm and a leg for em.

nice pics. yeah, spacers will help. My gripe with people with bad offset aftermarket rims is that they had a choice when buying. Keep up the good work.

you need to go 9" in the front- 8" is way too skinny i have a 06 GT and love
the wheel size, the rears are 10" looks fattt

Sell the rims and pics up some Nice offset rims. The spacers will really just push the rim out and it will still be 18x8 and x9. SOmeone said it the rotas are nice and cheap. A lot of nice styles also.

Chris

Btw besides that the car looks great man. I like the red and black combo

Its a good start for you, but if your not willing to spend money on a good set of wheels, then mine as well just keep it stock. You have to pay to play my friend.

Good start? I've had the Z for a year now and it's not like I paid 700$ for em. They aren't bad wheels I just should have gotten wider.

Width and offset are two different issues my friend. You just picked the wrong offset. Take a look at http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101

Question: If I get spacers I think I'm gonna rub in the front. Anyone with close to the same setup? The last thing I want to do is take the time to knock out 20 studs to find out my tires rub.
Question 2: I can't find any post on a spacer install. Is it a piece of cake or a pain in the azz.
