I will agree that the rears do need about a 10mm spacer to make them flush with the fender (and match the front). Unfortunately Togue's don't come in a better offset that fits over brembo's. At least they didn't when I ordered them.
Nice rims! Mine are black, but I like the gunmetal too!

see! it's not just me that likes these rims! lol 
i don't understand why the rear doesn't have wider lip on them though. There is plenty of room and it would look better but i guess that's how moteigi made them. I probably will end up putting a 10mm spacer on the rear of mine to put them flush with the fenders like my fronts.

With a good 10mm spacer you will get new studs www.ichibausa.com . Your wheels actually have the proper offset, most people have no clue what their talking about, but most of us do go a bit more aggressive than +30 just for looks.
10mm or 15mm spacer will make them more look better to most of us.

I agree that most of us go for the aggressive offset, but by no means does you set up look bad at all.

thanks for all the compliments guys. I think i'm going to pass on the 10mm spacer because the tires are so big they already are very flush in person! The wheels look great and pretty mean I think. I pulled up to a mustang GT today and the guy wouldn't even run me, he just kept looking at my wheels.

you are right, but these are also wider rims/tires than stock so they stick out further.
I have this rim combination on my G. Unless the Z is a lot wider in the front fenders (not that i've ever seen) there is no way that the fronts will handle a 20mm spacer and not hit fender. Mine is dropped 2" and I can barely fit my pinky between the tire and the fender.
I will agree that the rears do need about a 10mm spacer to make them flush with the fender (and match the front). Unfortunately Togue's don't come in a better offset that fits over brembo's. At least they didn't when I ordered them.

hmmm thats funny because i have 18x10+18 in the front and it fits perfectly fine. thats extended 25mm more, just so you know. and no i don't have crazy camber, in fact, it is within factory specs, just in case you were going to ask that too. oh & i am lowered, probably lower than you are. so make sure you know what you're talking about before you speak out of your ***.
to the OP. wouldn't be my first choice in wheels. but then again my works weren't mine either. but to each his own. and if you like them then that is all that matters!

i also said that i have a g35. Did you read that part? (probably not)
are the fenders wider on z's? they have different fenders than the g's up front.
All i know is there is no way i could go out another inch on my 2" drop with 30 offset 9" fronts.

i'm .9 degree both fronts negative. .09 total toe. It's basically a "stock" alignment. I haven't had them change anything. The dealership does it to spec. I'm uploading pics, hang on. I went outside to check to make sure i'm not crazy and there wasn't some hidden clearance i missed.
