Perhaps those with more technical knowledge can comment on the mechanics of why the staggered setup is used.
If I went with 19x9 all around, I would still use the staggered tire setup 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. My tires are staggered now with the same width wheel (Performance).

If you are going to get the G-Games, don't make the same mistake I did. I ordered the G-Games 5 months back and paid full for them because I thought the rim would have 2 1/2" lip on the front and the rear will have about a 4" lip since I saw them on a 350Z at the 2003 Auto Salon.

The lip on the rear is about 2 1/2" for a 19x10 +30 offset rim. For a 19x8 +30 offset the lip is about 2" from Discount Tire. This is the recommended setup from them. If you want a fatter lip, I would go for +20mm or less. Here is the 350Z at the Auto Salon:

Side shot from same car I took at the TAS. The sizes that Rays faxed me for the 350Z were 19 x 8 +24 and 19 x 9 +28MM . The lowest offsets they have for 10 inch is +28MM. No 10.5 inch wheels are available.

Just spoke with Rays...the above car at the tokyo auto salon was sporting 19x10 +28mm rears with 19x9 +24. The rear looks HUGE, and it is, but its not 4". It has a 78mm lip which is 3.07"

out of those choices i like the AVS better
the spokes on the g-games are too small for me
and if it were rays, i would get the te-37
just my opinion tho

Default 350Z needs a fat lip!!!

The Yokohama AVS wheels looks good, but I think the 350Z deserves a wheel with a fat lip. A 19 X 10 on the rear is sweet!
