newbie looking for rim advice

I like it the way it is, but then again I am an old fart.
I would stagger the tires a litter more, 350Z roadster rims look similar to the ones you have but are a half a inch wider and you can go a little taller at the rear.
Not a big fan of lowering, it will mess up the suspension geometry even if it is done properly.
Modding you car will almost always lower the value of your car upon resale.

Can you elaborate on how it will mess up the suspension geometry when lowered?
Compared to a lot of people on here, I'm an old fart too. ..at a young age.

When u are about to sell your car you just part out the aftermarket parts if you have like a supercharger or HFC or something like that but with the iso spacer the Ztube and stillin intake it all looks stock when u pop the hood. Also with the ecu you just have to reset it and it will go back to normal or you could get it flashed back to normal.

Their is a riced civic around where I live that has a "lowered" suspension which causes the car to bounce violently every time their is any kind of bump in the road, watching it drive down the street is very amusing.
The things people do in the name of beauty.

It was a 70 Chevelle SS and to fit really wide tires under it you either raised the rear or cut out the trunk and added tubs, the cheaper method was raising the rear and because it was a solid axle doing so didn't change the camber. A bad set up is when the top of your tires end up pointing inward (negative camber) which will seriously affect the way the car handles and also the tire wear. Most alignment specs ask for an a camber angle near zero and the tire tread flat on the road. Others wouldn't agree with this and seem to prefer driving around on their tires side walls.

I am dropped 1" in the front and .75" in the rear. My camber is still within factory spec without needing aftermarket parts. If done properly a G lowered can and will handle better than stock suspension, all while keeping camber/caster and toe in spec.
I know what you mean though, I see it all the time where people lower their cars 3"+ and dont do anything to correct the camber. Looks rediculous and probably costs them more in the end in tires. It reminds me of a friend that had an old VW bug that he slammed, those tires were practially sideways. The things you do when you're young.
