Anyone done this yet?

yes, I have. I run a set of 4 rear 350Z track Rays wheels, widened 1" to 9.5 +46 offset, with a 20mm spacer in the rear to bring them out. The only potential problem is tire height in R compounds. They make
275/35-18 which are 25.4" tall. Stock is 26.6/

With the car lowered, I wound up scraping the bottom of the bumper where it meets the undertray (stillen bumper) every time I hit a braking zone and completely ground that part of the bumper away. Now I run 295/40-18 Hoosiers, which are 27.3" tall, but they get the job done.

This is an early shot of my car with the 275s on it and lowered only on eibachs.

this is it with the 295s:
