You'll need an offset in the high teens (15-19) if you want the wheels like that. Possibly even more aggressive.

You'll also need one hell of a drop- the best way to do it would be to get some decent coilovers that you could dial in to get the stance you want. Also figure in a front camber kit along with rear camber arms and toe bolts. You'll also have to roll or cut the rear fenders.

Are those the wheels you want?

You'll want at least 9.5" wide with the lowest offset they offer. (+15?).

You'll probably need spacers too if you want them that aggressive. Those wheels just don't look as aggressive on a Z because of the Z's bigger fenderwells.

Its not going to be the same on the Z. He has stretched tires because those wheels are wide for a 240. They are not wide for a Z, so you won't need to run stretched tires. You'll be running better sized tires though.

If you want that "poke" stretched tire look, you'll need to ask the stretch tire guys here: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...s-welcome.html

They'll probably say to run a 225 tire on that 9.5" wheel with a huge spacer. E-gad.

your probably gonna need a 19x9.5 + 15 offset and 19x10.5 +15 offset....with stretched tires and you gonna have to lower the **** out of your car and get your rear fenders rolled. 18x8 and 18x9.5 wont do it.
