what I ment by 18s and 19s is the 18s are concave and 19s are lipped.
I'd sport-it. I think that would look cool IMO.

I may go that direction if no one picks up my pair right now and if they have 19x10.5+15 in stock. For sure they had 18x10.5 +15 in stock last time I check (couple days ago)

If anyone interested while i'm on the fence which direction to go these are for sale 2x 18x9.5 +12

I'd pick those up if they were half the price LOL. Too rich for my blood.

Dude if you're really on the fence so much then I definitely suggest 19's. If you are going to track the car a lot, then 18's would be good. But IMO the Z's just really need 19's to set them off. I mean they come stock with 18's, so that should tell you that 18's are going to be kinda bland. Don't get me wrong, I love my 18's, and they look way better than stock (but mainly because I've lowered the car and gotten spacers), but 19's just set the car off so much more! And if Shane would take my offer then I would have some 19's! LOL...

Here you go from another thread I posted here some years back. These were when my custom centercaps were mounted on my Black Nismo LM GT4s.

Not really feeling those.

On a side note, I have never seen anyone rocking these special edition caps:

They say RAYS...

The caps you can get at rays or the flat non rays ones. they are optional with the jdm nismo lmgt4 (also with te37 and other rays wheels) unlike the usdm nismo lmgt4 they come with the flat ones.

correct me if i'm wrong but I remember that the usdm ones have a slightly bigger hole then the jdm lmgt4s so they usdm lmgt4 can't run those rays center cap.

now these center caps are way better and can't wait to get my hands on a set of these limited edition ones

The USDM LM GT4s have a SMALLER center hub opening than JDM LM GT4s, so the Ray's center caps do not fit without modification.

I have a brand new set of Ray's centercaps as illustrated FS. PM me for details if you are interested. They are designed to snap into the JDM wheels and are secured with a rubber o-ring. I can't use them, having designed a different custom centercap for my black Nismo LM GT4s.

Specs are the std USDM 18" x 8.5" (+30) front and 19" x 9.5" (+25) rears. The spoke dishout angles are closer front-to-back than with the standard 18" front and rear setup. Thats what I was going for.

I think you got your offset mixed up but none the less it does looks nice as that stagger set up. I was hoping to see a 18x9.5 at the front to get an idea of how it would look concave at the front and lipped in the rear.

If I were to keep my 19 LM's, I would have just bought the 10.5 rears. Which I was really considering, but just a little expensive to get. The silver Z a few pages back with them looked soo good.
