Now, if u aren't concerned with performance and are just going for looks you'll be just fine with the dubs, but like others have mentioned, they're not really meant for our cars. 19's is probably as big as I would go on a 350z.
My old 20's have found a much better home on my girls heavier G35.

With 20's


With 18's


Eibach doesn't make a 1.4 drop. Their pro-kit lowers 1" all around and the sportlines lower 1.2" all around. If you're going with 20's I would stay away from both if u don't wanna deal with a bunch of negative camber as u mentioned. I'm currently lowered on hotchkis springs (.6" front .8" rear) and they worked great with the 20's. I would recommend those or tein s-techs.
Now that I'm on 18's the gap is more evident so I'll be going a little lower with the eibach pro-kits....

Thanks for your input Bud! 👍🏼 do you think 295/30/20 and 265/30/20 would be a bad idea?

I always like to match stock tire diameters. 255/30 and 285/30 match them perfectly. The sizes u are considering are gonna have a taller sidewall (larger diameter), combined with the larger wheel, will probably look too big. Besides, those tire sizes are rare which makes them expensive. Having had 20's on my z for several years, i would stick to the sizes i mentioned....

Got my wheels and suspension in this past weekend and fenders rolled today. Just have to make some more slight modifications and I'll be happy with my alignment angles

The wheels will fit just fine, but those offsets are weak. They're gonna be sunk in, nowhere near flush. You need to research offset.

What size tires are you running in these pics, and is the offset +20 F&R? I think I'm looking at the same package deal you have and am really liking your fitment, nice end result!
