370Z Nismo's on 350Z or other 9.5/10.5's
There's two or three searchable threads and only one with pictures but no details or updates. There's one on here with Rays Sports but those are not the same as the Nismo's and neither is the Type S.
Anyhow, what is required:
I got aluminum spacers on flea way. They are hub centric but about 1/2" less in diameter. Stud holes are slightly larger but not by much. H&R includes longer studs. I can do 12 180 degree turns or 6 360 degree turns. I'm not sure if it's 8 180 degree turns that is the minimum but would think so.
...if someone has used hte H&R kit, please reply. thanks
The fronts have no rubbing issues lock to lock.
The rears require fender rolling and maybe pulling. I don't recomend this size and offset if lowered. I would have to check but I think they are +37/+23.
The lugs I got on bee gay were half the oem price from jugs or the stealer and have a nice chrome or polish finish.
I think they are a hair too wide but I like the Porsche look, so I will oder a fender roller from clint.
Anyhow, what is required:
- 370 lugs. They are the ones with the washer.
- removal of rotor lock bolts.
- 5mm spacers for the front.

Oh, I thought my original thread was deleted. 
Reply to my replies:
+15mm spacer is too much. I think that would create rubbing issues at full turn.
No, 225's tires in front would be stretched tires which I don't like and that makes it easy to damage the rims. Besides getting wider rims and skinny tires defeats the purpose, right?
Pic's - Sorry will try to upload one tonight.

Here is mine: traditional staggered 18" LMGT4s in bronze, had them since 2004. Spacers are Ichiba V2 +15F +20R. Rubbed like crazy at this height so it sits a smidge higher now:
