so i'm looking for these 19s that are stock on the 370z touring. Just before I actually do the search for them and buy them, I wanted everyone's opinion on their size and if i'm going to have any issues. The rims are 19x9 +47mm Front(Recommended tire size = 245/40R19); 19x10 +30mm Rears(Recommended tire size = 275/35R19)

I usually base my decision making on the specs of others so I'm sure that they fit etc.. but when i saw these rims, i wanted it for my car...just the offset and width are a little extreme for me and i'm worried about rubbing and i'm dropping my car with eibachs.... Is this worth the trouble or should just buy other rims?

Buy a set of 4 fronts and you will be fine. The rears might rub a little.

the fronts should be ok, but the rears are way fat. i was looking into this as well because i found a set for $1100 on craigslist. but the rears would just stick out too much, i was worried about rubbing. gl with this, if it works out let us know so that we know the fitment works

hm... you sure there won't be any issues with the 19x9s with that 47mm offset guys? Stock offset is 45... the new ones might be a bit more sunken in, eh?

Ok... I did some hw - only thing that will cause a potential issue is after lowering - the 19x9 wheel will bring your tire 0.5" closer to suspension components... This is assuming a 245/40-19 tire size. The offset doesn't affect the outside look as much (in fact, they'll stick out further) because of the increased width of the wheel.

I did calculations with this:

I'm curious to see how they look. Rock it out, man.
