I took these pics with the camera on the ground, pointing UP at the Z, so it probabally has to do with the angle. That, and since it was sunset, the shadows may play a few tricks as well.
The only other thing I can think of, is that the springs might have needed a little settling after jacking the car up to put the wheels on... it looks normal to me now.

I've heard that they do require spacers but I'm not 100% sure about that

I LOVE them. I have them in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245's and 285's.
They are about the same weight as my stock 17's. They are lighter than you'd think for a cast wheel.
I've hit some nasty pot holes and have never bent a rim.
The one thing I did have to do was run spacers because the offset was a little too large for me..... but spacers are not needed.

I prefer a more aggressive wide track where the wheels are just barely clearing the fender.... hence the spacers.

How many miles do you think you'll get out of them? One other thing, are they feathering at all? My stock tires are feathering like no other. I might just wait till Nissan or I fix the suspension.

Thanks!
