BhashaZ... FYI also... Even though the "rear 9.5 @+29"would be absolutely perfect for the FRONT, there's a VERY good chance it will not clear the BREMBO or other BBKs because of the shallow spoke design. Like I mentioned in a post earlier... while doing my BBK research and wheel research I found the spokes are different. There is more HUB in front than rear, giving you greater caliper clearance.
Without doing a lot of reading, this is what a 9.5@+30 looks like in front with a 275 on it. Just glance at the pics... http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/pr.../0404scc_350z/
Dildorado, if you want a truly staggered look, then go with the 8.5/10.5 setup. If you want equal lip F/B then go with what you did. But keep in mind, your front will stick out slightly more than your rear, visually speaking.

Good point about the Brembo's...I totally forgot that he had them! Either way, he's already done ordering.
But Dildorado, as Zquicksilver has mentioned, the setup that you ordered (and that I have on my car) is going to have the front pushed out more than the rear, creating a bull-dog-like stance. You can fix this by getting a 5mm spacer on the rear, which balances out the setup perfectly IMO.
