painted my 06 calipers today
What springs did you get?
OP, just having fun 
you are right, in the pics he is not dropped. He stated that when installing the springs, the stance seem off up front (up 2")
i was kidding about about all ready putting a drop on it i was being sarcastic ... i honestly dont think i will drop 3 or more inches from the 350z s-techs cause if you look them up they are no more then .8 i found .. almost every site i look at the drop is different .. im thinking with the +1'' i will be around 2'' all the way around .. and the gap i have right now is 2''
and missouri yupp your car looks like mine when it wasn't dropped ... i got paid today !!!!!!!! so im trying to get in a local shop for fender rolling saturday so hopefully i can get it and then i will install my springs

On a stock suspension that's running at the correct ride height, you won't rub. That tire is .3" smaller than stock so you should have at least an inch of clearance between the tire and the wheel well. The offset wouldn't matter, as it will only tell you if you're outside the wheel well or not, but you should be well below the wheel arch regardless. If you're rubbing, and you're not lowered, then something is wrong with your suspension. I can pretty much guarantee it.
Take some pics and maybe we can see if there's a problem. And measure from the ground to the highest point on the bottom of the wheel arch. From what you're saying, it's going to be around 26", the same height as your 26" diameter tires, which is at least an inch lower than stock ride height. You may not be intentionally lowered, but that doesn't mean your springs are functioning correctly.
BTW, I agree with you on the rolling. If in doubt, just get them rolled.
