But to answer the question: the most popular setup for the Zs is 18x10.5 +15 square RPF1s with 275 or 285s all the way around

Sorry didn't mean it that way, Volks and all major name brands are going to be very good. Was just from a cost perspective top of the line HREs start at 2,800, I should have made that clearer.

As much as I would like to brake the bank and get custom Forgeline or HRE wheels it would not be very peractical since these wheels would be used for 100% track and drag use and there are some people that have actually damaged there wheels at the track and had to get them repaired and refinished or replaced. The track can be a rough environment sometimes. I may consider the RPF1 wheels in 18x10.5. Do these wheels clear the Nissan sport brake calipers for sure? Is +15 the correct offset? I don’t mind the squared look. In your opinion will 275’s or 285’s look overall too wide or narrow or normal looking?

Here is my car on a 18x10.5 +15 square with 275/40/18 tires. I think it looks perfect all the way around. The rpf1's will fit just fine. I'm also running -3.3/-1.8 negative camber front and rear respectively. 285/35s will fit as well. I'm lowered roughly and inch and a half or so from factory.

Also I plan on going to the Nissan dealership service department for a professional wheel alignment.

I would call around and find an alignment shop that the locals track guys take their cars to. The stealership may not want to set the car up the way you want it if you are out of OEM specs.
