Weren't you gonna order VS-XX?

+45 is crap, you'd need to get 35-40mm spacers for it to look good. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable running spacers that thick.

But to answer your question, you should be ok as long as you regularly tighten your lugs.

Pics of said monstrosities. Did you not consider the offsets before you bought them? As previously mentioned the super thick spacers are not a good idea so you might be **** out of luck on getting flush safely.

I also wanna see these +45 wheels as well, especially how small the lips will be.

eww. totally wrong offsets. but no, v1 spacers with extended lugs are better than v2s IMHO. i ran 15mm extended studs and spacers on my 18" g-games and they lasted thru tail of the dragon

running spacers that thick will more than likely give you vibration at highway speeds and will reek havic on your wheel bearings!

Ask any knowledgeable alignment mechanic about spacers and they'll tell you it's not a good thing, actually the worst thing that could happen would be your wheels falling off! And then there's the excessive pressure you're putting on the wheels bearings. Why would you buy wheels with that kinda offset? Actually dangerous on the front going into a tight turn....

I didnt buy these wheels. what happened is I was going to go through a vendor on here for a set of wheels. I asked for the price of T1s and VS-XX and he told me a price of the T1s and said the price of the VS-XX were the same price so I had my mind set on buying the VS-XX. but then i find out he told me the wrong price and the VS-XX were a grand more and i really dont want to spend that much...so now im looking for a used set of VS-XX and I saw a set of 19's with the offsets of +45

So you didn't buy those wheels with the +45 offset, that's a very good thing! Keep looking, you'll find what you want....have you checked MY350Z on their marketplace? Offsets s/b in the low to mid 20s nothing larger on 19" wheels....
