To my understanding, spacers do not affect your alignment.

With the +13 do you rub though?

On what wheel width? You could always try it and see.

Again, depends on wheel width.

On mine I am about ~1.2" lower in the front with 18x9 +15 with a 265/35 and no rubbage..........even under very hard cornering. My car is almost exclusively used for autox and track days now though.....so the alignment is pretty aggressive.

What did you decide on for alignment and wheel studs (you probably told me already, and if so, I've forgotten - sorry!)

The RPF1's are still lighter per Enkei's specs.

Correct, heavier for the types of sizes "we" typically consider, but the PF01s are in stock, the RPF1s are not (in most sizes).

Edit - data:

https://my350z.com/forum/8520656-post57.html

18x9.5 RPF1 all offsets: 18.6#
18x9.5 PF01 +15: 21.6#
18x9.5 PF01 +35: 20.8#

18x10.5 RPF1 +15: 19.7#
18x10.0 RPF1 +38: 19.1#
18x10.5 PF01 +15: Could not find (but likely higher than 21.8# given the 18x9.5 PF01 data)
18x10.5 PF01 +38: 21.8#

At the end of the day, it appears these are a heavier version of Enkei's race wheel. Here is additional comparison from what they did publish from their engineering data (of the PF01):

15x7 +41 RPF1: 9.5#
15x7 +41 PF01: 12#

16x7 +43 RPF1: 13.7#
16x7 +43 PF01: 13.9#

18x7.5 +48 RPF1: 17.6#
18x7.5 +45 PF01: 17.2#

18x8.5 +40 RPF1: 18.3#
18x8.5 +48 PF01: 18.0#

Nice color wheels, but they don't really go with your color Z.

I think it would flow better if you tint the tail lights
The 2nd shot is nice.
