The tires in the rear aren't staying long. It's a 255 on an 11" wide wheel.
New tires will be 265 front, 305 rear.
Currently 10mm spacers all around. and there's no rubbing at all. One the new tires are on I won't be running spacers anymore.

And I'm not a fan 20s on the z but these are lighter than my 19" Volk gt7 I had previously. Btw, the front is stretched too, it's a 225/35/20 on a 20x9.5. I was never a fan of stretched tires, and after owning wheels with stretched tires I now can say I've tried it and definitely don't like it.

fs wheels equals china made, but who cares.. im buying some. they certainly are not made in germany as they state but oh well.. cool designs fer sure. i hear they have issues w finish.. how are urs? they look fine to me..
wait, a 255 on an 11 inch wode wheel? dude.. thats rediculous.. what tire place would even try that?
305 is stretched like all hell on my 12 inch rear wheel.. you need at least a 305 for sure. I run 325s now.

The finish on them are prefect. The finish issues were with the polished ones, so I can't speak for that. I must've missed something, killer system? Lol I'm lost

I'm not new to the fat tires. My last set had fat tires, I will never like stretched tires lol these just came with these tires and I had to drive 400+ miles the day I got them do that alone makes me want to replace these brand new tires just because they're stretched.

you did miss something, and yes.. you are lost. 
Let me help you find your way.
Anyone w a 20" wheel thread ( especially w low post count) gets a special awrd. and its davidv posting "rimmed up w a killer system". haha.
Your prize from davidv is apparently potmetal chromed 46" necklace chain w a spinner wheel on it.
while all of the above is actually just somewhat of a forum inside joke, its not serious man.
your wheels look just fine.. its just what we do here... how i escaped it, i dont know.. i think ppl wonder what kind of animal i really am and just leave me alone mostly haha. I had 22s on my car in my signature.. the hatred i felt was real, (jk) but the words never got nasty.. dunno.
ill quote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...
" There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. "
Good to hear FS wheels have another good review..
I do intend on buying some of the non concave stuff soon. I miss having a ridiculously giant lip out back.

^ nice explanation, but that's still pretty stupid. Most members' high post count is because of posts like davidv made, pointless and unnecessary. I've had my z for almost 3 years, that's not long compared to some, but I've had it long enough to make the right decisions.
