Oh boy, you may want to talk to someone with an engineering background. These cars use a fairly sophisticated suspension which, from looking at it, would not appreciate any extra torque stresses. It may sound like a nit to add a few MM spacer and an inch or so wider tire, but that translates into a major increase in the actual loads seen by such things as ball joints, control arms and such. Do a lot of research. Actually, a simplistic suggestion... Talk to a Nissan mechanic and see if doing this would void a new 350's warrantee. There is generally a reason why a car company voids a warrantee if certain accessories are added to the car. It is generally because it causes things to break prematurely. Not a big fan of suspension parts breaking. Find out from a real mechanic who knows these cars before you do this.
