Any more word if the 350z rims will fit (not using fronts all around) I have a 2.5S and don't plan on lowering. Obviously I know the offsets are different, but what effect will this have on the car besides sticking the back wheel out a bit further?

Thx,XK

Lol, so you think its a good price? He told me he bought each tire for like 300 buks. but i dont know how much truth there is to that. im just warried that when i put those tires on the car will look too high off the ground.. even though im gana lower it. Z tires are smaller then A/C

I just put a set of 350z touring wheels (same wheels in this thread) on my car and lowered it with a pro kit. It does not rub and is fine. I have 2 front and 2 rear 350 wheels with the stock tires on them. I got lucky and bought mine for $580 w/ the lugs and the wheels/tires only have about 800-1000 miles on them! Had a couple minor scratches, but nothing that won't happen after a year or two of normal daily driving! I also had the TPMS swapped over from the stock steel wheels into the 350z wheels. Now I just gotta get my stillen front and sides back from the shop and on my car, they are being painted!

pro kit looks nice, only down fall is that the front still looks a little too high. in the back after the drop, i could barely put 1 finger between the wheel and the fender, in the front i can easily fit 2 fingers. I'd give it 10/10 drop for the back in the front 8/10.
