Looks really good, but I liked your other wheels better.

I like the wheels, but... I don't care for the color combo. They appear to have too much back spacing (rears) or maybe they're 12"? Those stick out more than my 325s on 11"x19" rears by about an inch. IMO, it'd look better with 35 series on the back, too. Nice pictures. Love your girl.

I like them!
I'm looking at the first side shot, and am thinking like the wheels, no BSM's, nice BB's... then it hits me, why is it sitting so high?
When I got to the first rear/ side shot, I knew.
What are the specs on the rear W/t?

It's been lowered on stock bolts and aligned to factory spec but the reason for the tire gap is from when I put the wheels on the suspension was unloaded and unspung. As soon as I put the wheels on our Michigan weather went south and turned sh!tty therefore, I have not had a chance to drive it. After some spirited driving the Z should settle down to its lowered ride height. Better pics to follow

I don't think the offsets are wrong I've looked at other rims/manufactures and that is what they recommend for a 19 x 11 wheel. Again, once I drive it and it settles down they may not be poking out as much as it is now.
Update... after speaking w/ Jake @ PK I am going to have it realigned and induce a -0.5 degree negative camber to take advantage of the wider wheel and tire combo. This will allow me to utilize more of the wider tire and that will pull the top of the wheel/tire inward. As it stands now, my Z was lowered on the OE bolts yet I had it aligned to OE specs. So it makes sense why the new setup 'pokes out' more than my previous setup consisting of the 10.5" wide TSW Interlagos w/ the 295 tires.
