28lbs is quite heavy for wheels. Is that the weight of the front or rear wheels?
28lbs is the weight for the rear wheels, the factory forged is 26lbs. I don't think that's that much of a difference (also wider).

Yes, I considered the negative camber. I really like the way the stock wheels look and they don't stick out at all. These are a little wider and stick out just a bit more. I measured the stock 19" wheel while that car was jacked up in comparison to the aftermarket wheel and the factory 19" tucks in a bit more. I think I have pictures of a G with the same rims (35mm offset); when I get home today, I'll post it.

Thanks,
SZ

Here is a 9.5 +5 with a 285/35/19.

Notice how it has at least 5mm of clearance from being "flush" with the fender. This offset is over 1" further out than your 9.5+35. That is why it is impossible that your wheels are flush with the fenders. Once again, please post a pic of your "flush" wheels

I like them tucked but my drop will not be that low (350Z H-techs) so the camber may not be as agressive. I already have the wheels so I'm probably going to go ahead with the install. At worst, I'll just get a new set later on down the line.

Thats fine if you are happy with the offset and drop, just don't say they are flushed with the fender because that just isn't possible and is a misleading statement

My statement was based on my observation and it really does look flushed with the fender. If I have time this weekend to remove the tire, I'll fit the aftermarket rim back on and show you what I mean.
