Default Can I achieve a nice look with these offsets?

I found these wheels I want to order for my all black z. Its just a daily driver so I could care less about weight, but will these offsets give me the look I want or not? I would like a deep dish in 18's. I may go with a minimal drop in future but its stock now. Also I have new 245's for the fronts but will a 275 look ok on 9.5" rears? Any help would be appreciated dont know alot about the wheel end. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...van&tpc=PRVBRS

They only show 40 offset there but I know they have them in 32 as well, trying to find if any others available as well

The offsets on those are not good so they will not be close to flush without big spacers.

It looks like the 5x120+15 bolt pattern offers maximum lip (does not fit the Z without an adapter). The only sizes offered that will fit the Z are worse than stock. My advice, keep looking.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I'm not a brandwhore but, there's just something scary about 500$ set of wheelse on a 350z. Don't get me wrong, it's your car, do what you want.

I've heard good things about other companies like Varrstoen and the rims at Wheeldude.com. They have nice replica rims with good offsets and sizes.

Same price range as the ones the OP posted, but they have better offset, size and look so much better.

No, i wouldn't put any of them on my car
