Mine is F-245/35/20 and R-275/30/20. Perhaps you have a 30 in the Front? Also, if anyone has 20" Shines with the +15 and +20 offsets AND has lowered their Z, please let me know how you did it and what you used -- it would be a major help. THANKS.
i have the Shines in 20'' with those offsets on an eibach prokit (1 inch drop)
245/35/20 front
285/30/20 rear
cut fenders in rear, spc camber arms. NO RUBBING!!

No fender cut in the front? The front fenders must be rolled at least? That must be a real tight fit. Is a 1 in. drop in the rear enough of a drop for you. I would suspect the fronts are SLAMMED. Any photos?

Instead of rolling the metal around the inside of the fender, it is cut.

You can run the 275/35/20. That's the great thing about the 350z's. Tons of room.
We do the 20x10.5 with +35mm offset and 285/30 and no rubbing.
Need 4 Speed does ALOT of the Shines on the 350/G35's
