Cool I need advise: What size rims + tires to use for Z widebody kit

I have been searching for the right sized rims and tires to install on my '04 350z with a Veilside VS-III wide-body kit on it. I really don't want to do any cutting or fender modifications and just want to fill-in the gaps created by the super-wide fender flares as seen in the pics.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You All.

OK, now for a serious answer. I would do a search for widebody or something, title only...open the threads and see who has a V3 kit and pm them and see what wheels they went with. I remember a thread a while back that said something about Volk suggests a 10.5 with -10 offset for the back...i would definitely do something wider, at least a 19x12 in the back. It will have to be a neutral or negative offset wheel for sure. Just search around, don't be lazy. Make some phone calls if you want...if you are seriously considering buying some wheels they will help you find something that will work.

Default Thank You.

Thank You All for the replies.
SolidSnake - nice pics Bro.
The rear 20x13 looks massive but daring - it creates an aura of super-car status whenever seen - too bold of a statement that forces the Z owner to hyper-tune his Z and not leave it stock - which mine will be.
Here is the look that I am somewhat trying to achieve...enjoy.....

You may be right - Thanks Bro!
I will look into it - my car will be finished soon.
Your set-up sounds Bad-Azz! How does the rear 10" with 285/35 handle?
Does it rub when the shock compresses? DOes it protrude out or stay inside the fender walls?
I am thinking of using 20mm spacers to widen the stance instead of going 13" width. What do you think?

unless you are force feed you really wouldn't need x13 with 335 tires.. If you look at most tuner in japan they use 10.5 with a more neg. offest.
