Based on your question about offset and what staggered means, I'd have to say save your $500 and just learn more about cars, enjoy the Z as is cause it's great from the factory, and spend time reading my350z.com.

What's the point in changing things on the car if you don't know enough about cars. Not trying to be an ***, just don't want you to bite off more than you can chew.

I hope you are not put off by the comments that have been made as some very good points have been raised. For what it's worth I would advise you to try the private classified sections of my350z.com (first!! lol) & some of the other forums if you REALLY WANT to change wheels ( but overall lowering with the stockers will still give the best bang for the buck). Refer to above posts for info on stagger & offset when making choices. FYI I have Fr 19x9.5 +17 offset & Rr 19x10.5 +24 offset. It brings my Volks right out to the fenderline; makes the car look much more agressive IMO. Pics below

here are the wheels on my car i get compliments on them all the time since then ive gotten a drop and as you can see i dont need spacers. People will tell you they are heavy and all this crazy **** but i would have made the top 25 stock times for z's but i had these wheels on my car and they consider them aftermarket so i wasnt completely stock lol haterz. The back has a 3.5 inch lip as you can see in the pic i love the wheels no matter if ppl think they are cheap. I got them for a 1,000 dollars incuding brand new kdw 2 tires. NOTE THESE ARE STAGGERED AND HAVE PERFECT OFFSET THE ONES YOU WHERE THINKING ABOUT GETTING DONT HAVE THE SAME OFFSETS.

For $1000 w/ BFG KDW2, if those are 19's, your wheels were pretty much for free.

yeah they are sterns and yes i basically got the tires for free can't beat that deal. Honestly i do get alot of compliments on them i actually just got one this morning while going to pick up some soap and stuff. They are a tad bit heavy but you can't really tell the difference in the straights. YES THEY ARE 19,S YOU HAVE A GOOD EYE.

I'd say you got the wheels for free cause 19" BFG KDW 2 cost at least $900-1000 by themselves. Nice look though.
