Found some wheels that will work
Found some wheels that will fit. 18x9.5 Konig +35 offset.
Will a 275 square setup fit ok at stock ride height with those dimensions?
Going to run that size for autocross.

Offset is a little high but will likely sit about 10-12mm outwards from stock (higher width). 9.5, you can go down to about +20mm without any fender issues.
On tires, 275-what? 35 or 40? Yes, width is width but height on a 40 might give some issues up front. Remove the liner bolt if there's rubbing; that's where the most contact is going to be. If you run 275/35, you'll be fine.
Lol. I like that color with the DB. As Wheel King Mic said, the offset is kind of high, but if you plan on keeping the wheels for a while or want to swap them over to other vehicles, you'll have more versatility.

Which Konigs? Was watching the guys at the tire shop mount up some Hypergrams this morning. Nice wheels, very light, strong.

I am going to order the Kenda Kaiser KR20A tires. eBay has them really well priced at 500 a set of 4 with shipping included. I figured at 300 treadwear, I could use them for both Street and Autocross and be able to buy several sets for the cost of one set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Even if they aren't as good. Though the reading I've done has been almost ALL positive. Good treadlife with EXCELLENT grip, almost like a 200 Treadwear tire.
So, the fronts are where I need to be aware of rubbing issues. Will keep a lookout - but will go with your size recommendation of 275/35/18 to minimize any chances of rubbing

The OO of the wheels had them on his 370Z - he used spacers for the rear. He gave them to me. If you look at the pics I posted, it pushed the rears to where they are just about flush.

Just one caution.... do you have VDC? If so, a 275/35 square setup my upset that with no height delta F-R (wheel speed differential). Be sure to disable VDC if you autocross-only on them. If you run them on the street with VDC, this might be an issue. Disable at switch, but to do it right, fully disable: https://my350z.com/forum/engine-driv...bling-vdc.html (amongst other threads here.)
So, no VDC just TCS

Swapped out the spacers, now no rubbing - it was only doing it on one bridge on my drive to work due to the undulations caused by the expansion joints on the bridge. Drove it the last two days and no ill effects.
And the door handle is replaced, no more ghetto style opening the car from the pax side.

Funny thing, Bro. When my wife and I went to pick up the wheels, she's like whatever.
After mounting the wheels, she's like, yeah you're right, it looks good. Especially after I got some real meats on the wheels instead of the 225's that were stretched to fit on the wheels. Made it look like rubber bands on the wheels.
