Fitting 19x11 +15 & 19x9.5+12?
Hey guys, so I'm going to be mounting some 19x11 +15 (rear) and 19x9.5 +12 (front) on my 2003 350z soon. Perhaps I'm just an absolute noob and did not expect these to poke as much as they do, perhaps more research should have been done. But regardless, I'd like to get these to fit.
As of right now the car is all stock, but will have ksport coilovers, camber / toe kit installed and about 1" of drop before the wheels go on.
I'm curious as to the issues I'll run into with running such an aggressive size in the rear? I've mounted the wheels up and there's about 1.2" of poke, or ~30mm from the rear fender to the end of the wheel.
I'll be stretching a 245 tire on the rears, rolling my fenders, but I still don't believe that will be enough to comfortably fit these? Any suggestions?

Put something under wheel(to protect lip)and lower car to ground, then you see what you have to do. Wheel will get some camber and situation is not so bad. I have these same wheels but hyper black.

put the car on jack stands, now with the wheel mounted like it is, jack up the wheel to where it will sit at the desired ride hieght...If you are going to put a 245 on that rear wheel, you will have a very good ammount of stretch...
What wheels are they btw?

Let's see, you mess up the geometry of the suspension, and expect the wheels to tuck when it's jacked up?!? I run a 18x10.5 + 15 all around. And when I was lowered, I tucked all 4 corners. I was running 275/35/18 all around as well. The wheels will fit, you'll just need some negative camber. Oh and have fun with strectching that rear tire.

Mount a 255/35 up front and a 285/35 on the back, run the rear camber on the high side of OEM specs -2.1 and set the front camber to -1.8 and your good to go. No need to run a lame *** 245 on those rear wheels.

Custom bent straight pipe 
)
On my hks I cut out the mufflers under the middle of the car and put a straight pipe there so it won't hit the ground as much
