I agree while the wheels look good they actually look worst on the car when at stock height imo. The wheel gap is more noticeable since you went with a lower profile tire so it makes it worst.

Your tires look stretched on that wide setup.

You need some more meat under there to decrease the wheel gap.

Yeah I know they looked stretched...

I don't like it at all...!!!

245/35-19 Front...
&
275/30-19 Rear...

I was thinking 255/35 Front and 285/35 Rear...

There is no way i'm going to lower this car... It's my daily driver not to mention the roads are worse here than they are in Mexico... LOL!

Or... Just sell the wheels... and just put the stock 18's back on...

Not a big deal..!

Maybe you experts can chime in here...

Would I rub with...

255/35-19 (Fronts are 9 inches wide) +10
285 or 295/35-19 (Rears are 10 inches wide) +0

On stock height... or quite possibly a 1 inch drop.. This is my Daily driver, and not really looking for alot of issues with rubbing... however, I will roll the rears...!

+1, especially with a Z. this car has enough torque to where you need good rubber to put the power down but then again maybe some people bought the Z, a sports, for show only?

The lowest offset 18x9.5 TE37s are available in is +12 and the lowest offset 18x10.5 TE37s come in is +15. Being that track cars generally run more aggressive camber than street only vehicles you should be able to fit those tires and wheels on your car with a fender roll (or slight pull depending on how low the car is).
