Mike runs 275(?) all around on his 370z and he enjoys it, so no you do not need staggered.
The Rays are actually very good, 24 pounds for 19s is tough to beat from factory and to beat that weight you are going to be dropping 3k or more for some brands and a smaller size for many others. The Rays are very solid and durable, I think Nissan actually gets a huge +1 from the 19s in my opinion, they are track ready, are not overly wide in which you are limited to certain tires and offer a nice style.
While the Z is an enthusiasts vehicle, it is a common vehicle which reaches many levels of enthusiasts. From tuners, to tracks, to show cars, and currently the 19 provided the added benefit of putting a BBK without much need to have a very custom wheel. Some 18s will not fit the stock BBK (or aftermarket BBKs) with some "fine tuning."
