Default Would these 20” Niche wheels fit?

I’ve looked and can’t seem to find anything. In a hurry to get wheels ordered but not sure if I’ll be able to make these fit.
Front: 20x9 +35mm
Rear: 20x10.5 +40mm
Thank You

Sure, they would fit. But at those offsets, the wheels would be quite sunken into the wheel well, similar to stock wheels.

20's look too big on the Z honestly. 18-19" for looks. 17" for weight is what I think thing is good for the Z

Fronts will fit, the rear will rub on the inside and require a 10mm or larger spacer to clear.

With that said, I would order something that's not made to be a boat anchor

I ran 20” wheels on my setup for awhile ... 38th worst decision of my life

go with a lightweight set of 18” ... OEM track wheels or ranked RPF1s are great choices and reasonable priced.

I have the forged rays mine is track but the rear wheel is chipped and I don’t have any clue how it holds air so I need a new wheel. Figured I might as well get a clean set. I’m not worried about speed or performance. I don’t race, I just want a clean lowered setup

Thanks but I didn’t ask about that. I wanna know if I could stuff them under the fender. I have forged 18s and want something cleaner. Those are too small to me

As others point out, the offset is wrong and the wheels will be tucked too much. You will need 20 mm spacers with these wheels.

So you wanna stance, not dance. No problem with that but.... as it’s been said, those offsets are more set for Honda/Acura versus Z car. Stick with around +20 to +30 for clearances sake. Yes, you can mount them but beware inner clearance issues (as was mentioned).

Balla swag points with his buddies/Instagram more important than function or performance

Thanks for answering the question without negative input. Not sure why that’s so difficult. I ended up getting a set of ESR RF2 forged F:19x9.5 +22 R:19x10.5 +22

Nice wheels. If you haven't mounted them yet, would be curious to know what the weight of these are. The new(er) rotary/rolled forge RF1 and RF2 might be a good option for people looking for lower weight/higher strength "budget wheels". (At less than $300/copy and what seems like decent construction, they fall into that category and fit your bill (street only) to a T.)

ESR has some nice looking standard-cast wheels but they're pretty heavy and may not be suitable for track days (or maybe they are, I don't know... but price point and absence of weight info tells me they're street-only wheels.)

In for pics!

Absolutely! I haven’t mounted them yet delivery will be sometime early next week. I’ll weigh them before mount and see if I can provide that info. Pics will also be on the way. Thank you

R: 19x10.5 +22 weighed about 25.1lbs
the look and feel great. Tires go on tomorrow and pics will be posted this weekend
