Thanks all for the reply. If always liked the looks of the Nismo wheels. I should have purchased them earlier. I see many people put 19" wheels on their 3650Zs. But every race car driver I have spoken with says to stay with 18" wheels.

for you guys running 20MM+ spacers on your 18" lmgt's, what drop and tire size are you running?
I am due for new tires. I was going to just get 245/40 and 275/40, but I just bought 20MM spacers. I am dropped .75" on hotchkis springs and I don't want to have any rubbing issues. Will I be good with those tire sizes or do I need to go w/ 35 series?
I plan to do either the 20MM all around or possibly go with 25MM in the rear.

UPDATE: I did a test fit today with 20MM spacers all around. I got a little bit of rubbing out back with my mild drop. It was only at certain angles and bumps though.
I will say it looks great! I had to take the spacers off so I can get my new tires and shocks put on in the next week or so, but after that I will have em back on. 275/40/18 tires in the back. 245/45/18 tires up front, I will be getting 245/40's when I get new tires.
I may need to get the rear fenders rolled...

Okay! Here are the pics from the test fit. Excuse the condition of my Z, the car is dirty and the pics were taken with my blackberry. I have an 06 bumper waiting for install and will be painting the hood at the same time. Also new tires and shocks next weekend. Gotta roll the rear fenders before I put the spacers back on though.
