Do you have to run staggered with tires?

Yes this is perfectly normal for the +30 wheel. This is the highest offset offered for the 350Z fitment of these wheels and there is enough room where you have nothing to worry about.

You do not have to run staggered width tires. The majority of our customers run 245/40/18 or 255/40/18 fronts and 275/40/18 rear tires however we do have a lot of customers running 265/35/18 or 275/35/18 all around with great results.

The hate is coming from the same small group of people on this forum who think if you don't run high end JDM wheels that your car will blow up. It's really a shame as these people have no personal experience with Rota wheels and spread misinformation. The amount of Rota P45R and Torque R wheels on this forum is crazy and you do not see posts of broken/cracked wheels like all of these people claim. Rota wheels are awesome affordable wheels that work extremely well on the 350Z.

People may say I am biased as I do sell Rota wheels but I've had personal experience with a wide variety of wheel brands and I still love these wheels. I've owned Volk Racing, Enkei, etc.. and a ton of Rota's. For my car on the street, track, etc.. they work extremely well and I have never once cracked/bent a Rota. Something I wish I could say for my "JDM" wheels that are sitting here with bends and aren't easily replaceable with a new wheel.

i wish i took a pic of my P45R's after a lady changed lanes into my fender couple weeks back. the wheel was curb rashed pretty bad, but NO were near as bad as my fender, headlight, bumper...it held up very well. It was actually undamaged beyond the cosmetic aspect of the paint...it was recoated and sent back to me.

BTW// i now have a 08 front end, headlights and all.

I use my regular car wash soap (meguiars gold class) a microfiber towel and warm water, just make sure your wheels are cool and not hot to the touch when you wash them.
