^ +1, they're not as tucked in as other stock 350z wheels. Also i would change the tires out back to 285/35/19 for a more aggressive look.

I would do 265/35/18 up front and 285/30/19 for the rear. Thats from comparing with stock setup, im not sure what the wheel specs are for the GT rims. I know the rear is 19x10, not sure with the front.
