Z track wheels and lowered sedan=good match?

I've read several posts about sedans with Z track wheels. My concern is clearance. I have z front springs and coupe rear springs on Dspecs. Will I have any clearnace issues? I'm planning to run 245's on all corners.

I'm putting together the same suspension setup. From what I've read, there shouldn't be a clearance issue. I'm not 100% on this, so if someone knows better, please chime in.

check the offset on the track wheels but it should work fine. '06 Z offset is 37mm and G35 Coupe 18's are 30mm so it should work better w/ the Z track wheels

They will fit. The Z track wheels are 18x8 +30 and 18x8.5 +33. You can run a 245/40 all around no problem.

I just got my early model track wheels. The rears are all the way out to the edge of the rear fender, with stock Bridgestone RE040s. Not sure how it would work with a drop, camber adjustment. I am going to be putting 255/40s in the rear, and 225-45s in th front.
Here are the specs on the 03 to 05 track wheels.

Super-light Forged Aluminum Alloy by Rays
F-18x8+30 18.188lbs
R-18x8.5+33 18.629lbs

Those look very good at that height. Good idea for those who don't want to go too low but want a better look. Very nice.

They are a very good tire for the price, $115ea. Size 235/45/18's. The 245/45's rubbed in the rear. Next time I will probably go with 245/40.

Those aren't Track wheels. Those are the standard 18" wheel for the new z. The new tracks wheels wouldnt even come close to fitting on a sedan. They are 18x9 30 offset front and 19x10 30offset rear.

Are you just showing how the new tracks would look? Because those aren't the track editions. Nice looking though. I also think those are 18s while the new tracks are 19" rear / 18" front combo.

19X10 in the rear? Really? Who is Nissan kidding? The Z isn'tthat powerful to warrant that kind of width.
