Default buying wheels, HELP!

SO, I have my eyes set on these wheels that are :

work vz-xx
bolt pattern 5x112 pretty sure the centerbore is 57.1
19x11 +2
19x10.5 +15 (I have a 10mm spacer to clear my bbk)
Falken fk452 235/35 front and 265/30 rear.

he has an audi,

I have a 2004 track model 350z with brembo brakes.
I saw another thread saying that these wheels would NOT fit on the car

Will i be able to fit this in my car without scraping?
and what do i need in order to achieve flush fitment?
spacers/ camber kit/etc?

thanks in advance guys

Are you going to use adapters because that's not the right bolt pattern for a Z....

Those specs are pretty aggressive, what were they on, an RS4?

Specs seem pretty aggressive. If you haven't done fender work then I would recommend doing so. Also, if the wheels are in 5x112 with a bore of 57.1mm you will need to both redrill the faces to 5x114.3 as well as bore the center bore larger.

More trouble than what they're worth. Pass.

OP, not only is the bolt pattern wrong, but this is the type of camber you'd need to fit those wheels under the fenders.

I would agree. Not to mention that wheels in the correct bolt pattern, center bore, and sizing are dime a dozen.
