i think the wheels will look good as long as you're hella flush with them. without a proper stance you'd look stupid (IMO)

as for the tire fitment, i'll leave it to others with more experience in wheels/tires

$500 bucks for "Magic" wheels?

I'd stay as far away from that as I could.

I just don't trust aftermarket wheels from an outfit I know nothing about. I've seen too many aluminum wheels that have broken or cracked that people want me to weld up. In most cases they're not able to get replacements because the maker went out of business or dropped the style. I won't touch them.

Did you notice the $129 economy shipping charge?

Welcome.

Wheels are close to Track wheels. OEM tire size is good: http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/Wheels_and_Tire.php

There is a reason he was trying to unload them on you.

You don't need bigger rotors because you are upgrading to bigger wheels. You can, but they are totally independent of one another.
