maybe the rear tires need to be wider. what's the sizes for the fronts and rears?

there seems to be more gap on the rears compared to the fronts.
have you tried 285/35/19?

I think it will look fine if you lower it.

Can barely tell that it's 18" in the front.

I love the wheels, but honestly I think it's a little off. Maybe it's the offset or the rear tire (looks like it's stretched and the front is nicely fit). Or maybe it just needs to be dropped.

love the color combo though.

I like that new color on the 350z.

18/19 stagger is cool

Just gotta slam it

The front tires are way to thick, a 255/35 would look perfect, and the rear tires are to stretched, 285/35 tires out back for sure, some tire shine (dirty tires dont help the look) and a drop and your 06 would be lookin HOT. I recomend the Tein springs, the drop is perfect for those tire and rim sizes, you wont rub, or if you do a little on the driver side like I did, a rubber mallet and some bangin will handle that

Different sizes like that have always worked on the NSX so why not a Z.

Question

I don't see a performance difference with larger diameter wheels in the rear. Is there?

maybe wait for the 20" TE's and to 19 fronts and 20 rears....

this looks pretty good though!

Not really, I really try to produce the track Z effect.
And also, ohio roads are rough and I am just trying to protect my rims.
