I don't like the 8.5 front because it doesn't have the same steplip as the rear...also pisses me off they're too cheap to make the 521's in 19

I agree could be more lip in the front, would have been nice to have +10 then they probably could have fit a semi decent lip.

what size tires you plan on running? fitment should be perfect in the front. you will need 10-15mm spacers in the rear probably.

Has anyone done the xxr 522's? They look sweet but the set I saw is all 18x9.5 with 38 offset. Not sure how that would look on my car and I'm not sure if my tires that are currently on the stock rims (225/45/18 & 245/45/18) would fit. Any advice?

honestly i think its because the cant afford the correct size tire. there is a huge price gap between 225 and 285.

No. Its so you can run lower offsets and lower your car. Sorry not everyone likes to fill wheel gaps with tire.. The z isnt a truck. People need to stop hating all the time on this site. Dam...
