Wow, the craftsmanship is superb! Everyhing that can be molded IS molded, looks super clean...

The wheels are nice but I think you made a big mistake going with 19's, you should have gone with 20's, that kit is just too muscular and bulky it almost swallows up your wheels...
Look how small your rear wheels look in comparison to the rest of he rear section, the front looks ok though, you could have pulled off 19 up front and 20's in the rear, that would be the perfect combo


Nice project though, you should get a pro photoshoot done and post pics

how is this "doing it the right way"? The purpose of a widebody is to run wider wheels AND a lower offset. You can fi a 10.5" wheel on a stock body 350z. Widebody's need atlease 12" in the back to be considered an improvement.

You're welcome.

Those wheels look awesome with that big lip, and 19s are perfect.

You can run a 19x10.5 -17 on your stock body Z and have a ~4" lip and a 305 tire? Didn't think so.

Not a big fan of the kit, but damn you did a perfect job. The molding makes it look so much better!

Big brake kit?

I would of gone with 20" at least in the rear. Judging from how low those sideskirts are already are you can't lower the car that much more. You need to fill that wheel gap in the rear. I would suggest some Work Meisters in 11 or 12 width in the rear with aggressive offset.
