Don't see Seize much any more, but when I do, he often gives the gift of Photoshop! Big props! Good job!

Thanks!

you haven't bolted them on yet? generally if it fits on a 350z/g35 it will fit on ours but more flush as the Z/G have slightly more aggressive fitment than our cars, with aftermarket stuff off a 350z you have to worry about rubbing the fender usually or some may even poke out a bit.

Since these wheels are pretty wide all around, a +30 offset will most definitely NOT be sunken in at all, unless your coilovers are at the lowest setting, at which point it might be sunken a tad. Also, make sure your fenders are rolled if you want to run these with anything other then stretched tires.

I definitely recommend running different tires then what are on these, since you want to keep the same rolling diameter all around, and make sure its pretty close to the original 225/55/16 rolling diameter. Only thing putting me off about these is the 18 front and 19 rear sizes, but that is purely subjective.

Im in for pics after you mount them!

The word sunken is hard to portray lol. It wouldn't be flush but it wouldn't be battleshipping either. I guess I just need to see them on the car and judge from there, I don't see this size/offset much.

Here are some pics for reference on my cars.

My SC400 with 18x10 +25 in rear


My SC400 with 18x10 +25 in rear and my SC300 with 19x9.5 +30 in rear



Im thinking if you're moderately low the NISMO wheels will be quite flush. And you will definitely need rolled fenders.
BTW, my fenders are rolled flat all around, and the green one was running too much camber before alignment and height adjustment.

^^^ Wow those look perfect! Super sexy. I don't see why the craze is all about 18x10.5 or 9.5 +0, 5, 12 etc.. 25-30 looks perfect.

Yes, I'm not into the stance look and not a big fan of crazy stretch and wheels poking out, or running stupid camber.

That's definitely the sweet spot, from my limited experience. I already mentioned the 17x8 +30 fronts being flush, but also my rears are 17x9 +24 and they're equally flush. Both were lucky guesses.

He only wants $400 for those???

They're legit forged rims built by Rays. Ya know, that small company that makes cheap wheels called "Volk Racing" and "Gram Lights"

They're a bit heavy at 21lbs for the fronts and 29lbs for the rears but not terrible for a sturdy rim like that.

My photo in my signature is basically the same wheels. I had to roll my fenders a bit in the rear because of the offset setting the wheels out a bit much.
