I'm thinking of putting these on my Z. It looks like the SSR's but I just won't pay that much for the SSR's. Anyways I'm looking for that aggressive stance with not that much finger gap. Would I be better off getting bigger rims like 19-20" with no drop or getting my car some tanabe springs on 17's-18's? I have a seibon carbon fiber lip so I kind of don't want to lower my car because its low enough in the front already and I might end up cracking my lip :\Also what size/offset should i go for?

18X9 +30 is a pretty weak size and offset for the rear of a Z. I'd look for an 18X10 +30 minimum.

What's weak about it? Would that size 18x9+30 be good for the front though?

The wheel will be too sunk in the wheel well. Too recessed. the 9" +30 front will be ok. A little conservative for some, but will fit and look fine. The rear.... no way. Look for another wheel. with a better size and more agressive offset.

I'm selling a set of ROTA Boost wheels in 18X9 +30 and 18X10 +35. The fronts are new and never had tires mounted. The rears have 300mi on them. They are Hyper Black and I am asking $800 shipped for the 4 wheels.

Check out http://www.wheeldude.com and look at the ROTA wheels for the 350Z. Just look at the 18X9 and 18X10 models. Find something you like. They are good cheap wheels and come in under your budget.
