what offset do i need to keep that width, and 285/35 without rubbing??
i want to have something like this, im not ready now but when the time comes i know what to get. I just bought my 06 a week ago and already thinking what to add to it.

Thats a very agressive offset on that Z. Agressive IMO is +22-+20. Offset 101-a lower number means the wheel will stick out closer to the wheel well. So a +22 will sit 10mm further out than a +32, and give you the look yuo want as opposed to the wheel sitting further in like stock. You can run a 10.5" width on most any offset from +20 in. The look above is not a personal favorite for me, but you get that stretched tire look by running a slightly narrower than recommended tire for the size. On a 10.5" wheel, a 285-305mm will look great. Above is likely a narrow running 275 or 265 on a 10.5" or wider rim. Good luck to you, any Q's feel free to ask...

so +22 is what i need. 19X10.5" with 285/35 will work fine w/o rubbing as long i stick to that offset.
Now the front im thinking 19X9.5, what offset, and what tire size???

i have bfg kdw2's 285/35/19's on Ruff Racing 9.5", i think +22 offsets, used as daily driver for 6 or 7 months, weather permitting, driven fairly hard on all types of road surfaces including heavily frost-heaved mountain highways at speed, never tracked, only rubbed twice, will definately rub if lowered. just my $.02 worth

1. the specific tire (not all tires of a given size are the same physical size.
2. how low your car is, and what your alignment specs are
3. Wheel offset
What about 275/35??
As an example - my car has always been about 2 inches dropped front and rear - I always ran 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 tires on 18x8.5, 18x9.5 wheels +20 offset front and rear - with some tires I would rub horribly no matter how much camber I ran, even with only me in the car. With some other brand tires, I would never rub, even with a passenger. All the factors above will determine if it will or will not

i cut my fenders(actually f1 motorsports did) with stock height and regular driving there was not an dire need but we did it just to be safe
20 x 10.5 et22 with 285/30/20 toyo t1-r's
although an argument could me made for either method, but i personally feel there is less change of outer fender damage with cutting and it gives you a bit more room
of course an expert doinng either job is the key

..........................So is there a diffrence between rolling and cutting as far as the final product goes, i konw when you roll a fender you ROLL it and when cutting it it is required to CUT it; my question is which option is better and why?

From outside appearances, there is no difference visually. There is a structural difference though.
If you cut, you're removing the flange of metal that stiffened the fender opening. If you roll it, you're doubling back the flange of metal so you still retain some of the stiffness in the fender opening.
