Thank you. I'll check out the offsets of both and post back here.

Opinions are welcome. Thanks for the input.

By the way, I really appreciate everyone who has answered thus far. Thank you!

Ack if you did research, you got it all wrong. Those sizes will be sunken into the fender wells and look VERY bad.

Go with the 5 Axis S5: F

sizes: 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +22

They will fit well but won't be too aggressive.

The thread here even straight up says those are the recommended sizes:

I could've easily gotten my info wrong. I'm simply going off of wheelstudio.com website. Most likely, I grabbed the wrong info.

Thanks for the help and the link. Does offset really play that important of a role?

Yes offset is very important. If you dont get a decent offset; later, once the novelty of the sweet wheels you purchased wears off, you will notice what you could have done better (buy the correct offset) Then you will either buy spacers or buy better wheels (either way, you'll be losing money).

Please go with
Go with the 5 Axis S5: F

sizes: 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +22

It will make me happy Ive considered those wheels myself

Thanks for the input. From the get go, I've been leaning this way (S5:F in gunmetal - choice B). I've seen them on the silver car from this site and LOVE the way they look. But, I have no idea what choice A wheels would look like on the car, which lead me to asking everyone. My first thought on choice A was that they might look a bit classier on my Z and less racy which is somewhat important to me.

I'm going to make a decision by the end of the weekend. Thanks again all - appreciate all who respond.

I suggest different wheels , but if you must , get A and get the 9.5s front and rear. Then you only need to buy one set of spacers to help it look good.

Or spend that $100 you need on spacers, add it to the wheel price and get better wheels.

A...Bro...I luv the stud design around the lip...more definition to the wheel...IMO when there is a nice ride park, ur eyes automatically stare at the rims first...just like women and their cleavages.

Well I finally made a decision and ordered the wheels/tires last night...

WHEELS ARE: TSW Cadwell's
FRONT 19"x8" + 20
BACK 19"x9.5" + 20

TIRES ARE: Falken 452
FRONT 245/35/19
BACK 275/35/19

They have some similarities to my original option 'A' but have slightly thicker/curved spokes. Next step: Exhaust and a 1"-1.5" drop from Tanabe.

Thanks for all of your help fellas.
