Finally got my wheels
The rims and tires finally came in, they're huge. Racing Hart i guess switched my order from 26+ F, 22+ R offset to 17+ offset front and back. They really look deep dish. With a little camber in, the rears tuck, but i'm not sure if i have to roll the rear fenders yet. No rubbing, stock height for now. The fronts fit perfect. The rims are Racing Hart C4's with Toyo Proxes T1-S's. 19X9, 19X10, 245/35/19, 275/35/19. I only have a blurry shot because i took it when the sun was setting and didn't use flash. I'll take a better picture tomorrow, but just so you can see the deep lip.

thanks for the compliments
yeah, these rims look hot. Although the backs look like they stick out a lot, from the very top looking down, they just fit flush with the side of the fender. With the way the tire cambers in and the edge of the tire curves in at the top, actually gives it more room so i don't think i will have a rubbing issue, i haven't rolled my fenders and hope i don't have to. I'll let you know when i get my nismo kit if i have rubbing issues.

These were not cheap
I bought them from a chain near my area, performance plus. The rims and tires out the door was 3750. The toyo t1-s's weren't cheap either. I know you probably can get cheaper if you shop around, but i just wanted them as soon as possible and these guys at performance plus called racing hart to make sure they will fit and not look all funky. These are deeper offsets than what i wanted, but now that i seen them on the car, i love them. The weights weren't on the box, but they definitely felt lighter than the touring stocks which weighed a ton. The car feels like it's on tracks now, the whole car feels more solid. The ride of course isn't as smooth, you feel a bit more road, but nothing to make you go bathroom every 10 minutes. I like it alot! It sort of feels like the car is more heavy like it's glued to the road. If you have been getting looks with your Z, wait till you put some of these on, people are staring at the car wherever i park now. Oh yeah, i didn't bother putting the pressure sensors in these rims, i'll try to do them when i change tires next time. By they way, the nav and tire sensors worked with my titanium tint if anyone was wondering.

YES!!!! finally a different set of wheels that haven;t been seen on the site yet on a Z.
I use to think that Mesh wheels didn't look good on sports cars and really didn't like mesh wheels, you changed that opinion!!
Nice job, I think Racing HArt offers a few good choices in wheels for our Z's, too bad we don't see them.

lip sizes
No the car feels pretty damn stable with these rims and tires, i haven't felt any pulling at all. It feels like it tracks straighter and that it need a little more effort to turn the car than before, but not a whole lot. The lip sizes are about 3 3/4" F, 4 1/4" back. Yeah, i know that's a lot of money, but i only did a quick search on the web for the rims and tires and couldn't find any good deals. Now that it's on the car, i don't regret it, but i was kicking myself a little for the impulse buy.
