Fitment and Look Advice

So far after reading countless posts and looking at an insane amount of different options I feel that I have figured out the wheel and tire specs I want to rock on my 03 Coupe without the brembos. Specs are as follows:
-
Wheel: 19 X 10 +40 offset
Tire: 275/30/19
I would most likely pick up some 15mm spacers as well depending on the fitment
-
Just wondering if anyone has any input on how this would work or if anyone has a similar setup, any feedback would be appreciated
-
In addition if anyone has any feedback on what lowering springs would be good for this setup that would be awesome!

You'll def need the spacers
Those offsets are high

Best wheels size for a first gen coupe is 19X9.50 (F) & 19X10 (R) with mid teen offsets to low 20s, your +40 offset is way to high! Running these sizes you won't need spacers! Tire size, 245/35X19 (F) & 285/35X19 (R) which will make your coupe stable at freeway speeds and a blast to drive thru the curves. Going with lowering springs and which one depends on two things (1) how low do you want to go? (2) Are you aware you can't lower your car without also installing a complete camber kit? Include that cost in your budget if you intend to lower your car! Tein 350Z H-Tech springs will lower your G close to an inch and lesson the gap over the top of your tires. Available here from our Marketplace under vendor suspension...Gary

The wheels I want are Monoblock Rotiform IND-T's, http://www.rotiform.com/ind-t-cast-1-piece-w-24498.htm, what variation of them would you suggest?

Buy the wheels you want in the correct offsets from the beginning. +40 is way too high and will cause the wheels to be sunk in, might even rub on the control arms. Offsets in the teens is where you'll start running into wheels poking out the side of your car. Some people think that looks good, others think it's trashy, but it's really up to you. A +20 to +25 (what a 15mm spacer will yield) will get the wheel pretty even with the fenders, without poking and without being sunk.

Do more research on the fitment you want and the proper offset to get you that fitment, don't rely on spacers to "fix" it. I got my wheels used and have to deal with spacers and it can be a pain.
