Default Need Rim Advice

Here's the Rims Im thinking about getting, My question is which rim do you think looks the best (as Im pretty much like all 3 of them the same) and Do you see any problems with the offsets? I really don't want to have to roll my fenders.. Right now I have a Nismo Suspension kit which lowers it 0.80"

Thanks

RO_JA R2-5 - Black
Front (19X9.5) - 225/40-19 - Offset +19mm
Rear (19X10.5) - 275/35-19 - Offset +19 mm

RO_JA R2-5 - Silver
Front (19x8.5) - 225/40-19 - Offset +25mm
Rear (19x10.5) - 275/35-19 - Offset +19mm

RO-JA R2-7 - Black
Front (19x9) - 225/40-19 - Offset +15mm
Rear (19x10) - 275/35-19 - Offset +25mm

I like the R2-7's the most. What color is your Z. I think you'll be good with that tire size. Although I would probably go 245 at least on the front.

Personally, I like the SSR's you have already. If I had to pick, I would go with the black R2-5's.

If you run a spacer on the back wheels the BBK will fit.

I've got R2-5's and I love em! I would get 245 tires in the front though, 225 would be way too small. I Have the same setup as what you're looking for and the 245s already are stretched

RS-7 looks good on your car. R2-5 looks identical to its Gram Light cousin.

19mm offset on a 10.5 rear rim will rub BIG TIME even with a 275. Get the offset between 25-30 to avoid rubbing.

Definetly do a 245 on the front. The 225 will look way too small

245 or 255 on the front, 225 is too narrow considering Z has understeer characteristic.
