Hey,
I've looked through most of the pages and haven't seen this yet...So...
Can one of you guys with the real aggressive 19x10.5 +18 rear setups take a picture from a distance and low in the back of the car. I want to see if/how much the wheels stick outside the car with this offset. I want to have the 5" lip...looks awesome...but don't really like it when tires stick out much past the furthest edge of the car. If anyone could do that...it'd be greatly appreciated...as i've got the serious itch to order some of these up!!
Thanks!

look through the previous pages.. a majority of us has the rear 18 offset
There should be a silver Z about 5 pages back that took a pic of it specifically
here it is:

yeah, i saw that one, but it's hard to get a good idea of what it really looks like without getting a picture of it from a distance. look at this thread,
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203975&page=4
there is a picture of what i'm talking about there. The blue Z has a pic from a little ways back that shows how the tires look relative to the body...something along those lines...

Anyone know where Rick at Status is at? I've sent him several PM's with no luck 
I'm ready to buy some GTS wheels but I have some questions about fitment since I tried nitrouz's & it didn't quite fit right with my setup. Essentially tried fitting the 19x9.5 +17 & 19x10.5 +18 on my Z & to my suprise, there was about an inch or more space between the spokes & calipers & the entire wheel seemed to stick out inch or two more than his setup. He has these wheels with his Stoptechs & they fit really snug which is what I want. I have the 14" Wilwoods & the only thing that I can come up with is that the rotor hat seems to be a lot thicker than the ones found on the Stoptechs. That & the calipers seem to be smaller. That means, I may need to order a whole differnt offset for my setup in order for it to get that snug look. BTW...these were specifically for the rears. I didn't get the chance to try the front. Here's a quick shot showing the space between the rear caliper & the spokes. Don't have a good pick of how much it sticks out from the fender but it's about the same size (think of the pic that clearsector posted but sticks out an inch more). Any ideas?

What color do you guys recommend for DB? I was thinking to go with something different like dark blue like this one https://my350z.com/forum/showpost.ph...&postcount=228 for my DB. What do you guys think?

I just got my silver GT-S in today and there hot. The problem is the rears rub when I turn slightly. I thought my car had a stock ride height but it seems that it doesn't. I bought the aggresive offset thinking that they wouldn't rub because somone on here has the aggressive setup that doesn't have rubbing issues.
So now I'm going to have to roll the rear fenders. Before I do, I have a few questions for the people that have rolled their fenders. 1 Do you have any rubbing issues after the rolling was performed and 2 can you drive the caras hard around corners without it rubbing. If I can't accomplish both of these then I might have to sell the rears. I knew there was a possibility of rolling the fenders it's just will this solve all of my problems. One more thing did you have to mess with the camber for the wheels to work with the rolled fender. I really don't want to touch the camber if i can help it. I see that Nitrouz has cut and rolled his fenders did you guys do the same or just rolled and how much did you pay?
