I am prepared for normal wear and tear from daily driving, that is expected no matter what wheels you have. Hell, I already got a small rock chip in one of the lips and its only been like 4 days since I put the rims on. No biggie. Not the end of the world.
Wrong sizes? Put an 11" wide wheel with a -5mm offset with say a 285, 295 or 305 tire on a Z and drop the car and see what happens. I wanted this T1S wheel with a 5.5" lip in the rear so these are the offsets I needed. I also wanted to try 20s since I had 2 sets of 19s previously. After my Mastergrade CF rear diffuser and Veilside Version 1 front lip are installed the 20s will compliment the car better I think. 20s are definately not too big for a Z, I think they look good.
I won't even go into the whole stretched tire argument. People with all kinds of cars stretch tires to achieve more aggressive fitments than your average Joe running the same ole conservative offsets. I had stretched tires on my previous car, a 450hp 240sx and never once had any issues and it had just as aggressive a stretch as my Z does if not more aggressive.
All in all, its all good. Everyone is into their own thing.

The curbing-your-lips-stretched-tire argument is retarded. If you pay attention to what the hell you're doing you should be fine.
The car will definitely look awesome with the diffuser and front lip/sides.

Hmmm. Ok. Yeah, seems stupid doesn't it? Well that is the size difference we are talking about between 19s and 20s yet you try to post this rediculous image to make a point
Go have a coke and a happy meal or something "Rookie"

Looks good big C.
I have to disagree. I'm not special or a super driver or anything like that but just wanted to say that I've been driving for 16yrs and have never curbed a wheel yet. *Knock on wood* But I've always been a wheel ***** so I guess that helps. I'm sure there's a few others that have never done so since they've been driving either.

Hater or not my opinion is that 20's on the front of a Z look retarded. No if you would have did a 19" front and a 20" rear then it would have been perfect. Nice offset's none the less.
