I see a lot of 370Z's with that wheel - looks nice!

Any reason why you wouldn't go with a 19" application?

Also make sure they are hi-disk to clear those is350 brakes.

if they arent a high disc you can always run hubcentric spacers on the fronts to make them clear the calipers.

I went with the 18s because I did not want to loose any performance/handling. Contrary to what most people believe bigger diameter wheels and lowering the vehicle will have a negative effect on the ride. I am a very aggressive driver and very often I'm "***** to the Wall".

For the "Street Racing Police" save it. I pick my time and place and I'm very careful.
