those are:

*you can push the offset about 15mm further out w/out any rubbing.

Cool, that means the +22 Enkei RPF1's I'm looking at should work. Thanks.

yep. I ran those above tires w/ 15mm spacers all around (they're now my practice autoX / street wheels) - no rubbing.
FWIW: lowered 2.5", camber -2F, -2.5R

I'm with you, Arnold K; my stock 17s are FINE with me! Extra bonus: less ex-
pensive tires. A beautiful car is a beautiful car, regardless of tire size! I get 17s for under one hundred dollars!!!
'O4 Touring Coupe/13k!!!/AT (FLAWLESS)!!!/$2O,5OO!!!?/NO feathering!!!

17 inch wheels
I own 18 total wheels for the Z. All for drifting mainly. I typically have them all wrapped in tires too..im always ready to attend a drift event...
these are some of my 17's.
I now have a dedicated set of MB weapon wheels 17X9 +17 and +27 offset wheels with R-compound tires for AutoX events too.
17's are cheaper in buying tires....
pic of my tire rack as well.......i hold 16 wheels/tires with this bad boy i welded up. thread - https://my350z.com/forum/drift/355396-tire-storage-tire-rack.html
