can you post the offsets and if there were any clearance issues so people can have another reference when sizing wheels.

Test fitting???? Are you crazy??? I say put the other two on the other side. Order some Nismo coilovers, or whatever brand you prefer, or even just get a set of Eibach springs installed. Suffer the way off speedometer reading and show them rims and tires off. They look great. Just have to lose the gap.

Nice look! Though, I agree with others that the rears, visually, look smaller than the fronts. Optical illusion created by the wheel wells, no doubt. Also would have gone with higher profile, but that's me.

Do you have a shot straight from the back. I'd love a straigh on look at how wide those puppies are on the back!

How about some matching black centercaps? The wheel color looks great on red.... but for some reason that aluminum center cap looks cheap.

hi everyone, this is chris...i'm ashley's (the girl who owns the z) boyfriend....well i actually put the wheels on the car...the fronts are 18x10's with 285x30 pirelli's, and what you can't see in the picture, and another reason we didn't drive the car around, is that the wheel actually scraped the suspension arm... there was very little clearance on the rear with the 18x11's and 295x30's, but nothing was rubbing when i put them on....if she ever does get wheels, the 9's on the front and 10's on the rear will obviously fit fine....so in reference to those who needed specs who are thinking of upgrading wheels soon, THESE DO RUB IN THE FRONT...i don't know if that means all 10's will rub in the front, but i assume it would...now that i remember, the front wouldn't even bolt up without a spacer in between the wheel and rotor...i sure you guys know this, but you said something about the 30 series profile on the wheels being too small; well yes, there was a large gap between the fender and tire, and someone said they ran 40 series on their 19" wheel....but the heighth of the tire isn't dependant on the diameter, but instead is dependant on the width of the tire...meaning, these are 295mm wided...and they are 295x30% high...which is about 88 and 1/2 mm tall....you said you run 19's but how wide is the wheel? and what series tires are you running? i'm just curious, and i hope this helps anyone about the clearance issues...

Factory rear tires are 26.7" tall, and the Pirelli's are 25" tall. Also, the car had just been jacked up and not driven around therefore and the suspension had not settled which created more of a gap in the rear. Then again this was just for fun just to see what it would look like. The offsets on these wheels are 47 mm in the front 50 mm offset in the rear. 47 mm offset will not fit in the front. They do rub. 50 mm offset in the rear seemed to have adequate clearance .
