Width and offset is the same. You will be OK.

On a side note....i think you will need a set of coilovers....with 19s, it will give your z a 4x4 look cause it will leave quite a bit of a gap in the fenders

i suggest wheel spacers and coilovers. At least 15mm all around. Then drop it. As for your stock rays, ive seen them go anywhere from $600-$1k.

About $700/4. There is no market for used tires.

it came from me wondering what is going on in your head...you have 400posts and you dont realize that you dont need to do any mods to change a wheel...theyre oem for a reason...now if you were getting some 19x11.5 rims/tires, then you would have a valid question.
