Those are not very good offsets for these cars. I'm not the type who is searching for the perfect offset, but even the nicest wheels will not look as nice if they are sunk into the wheel well which those would be.

Also, 7.5" wide is very narrow. I would pass.

offsets determine how far tucked or poked out your wheel is... also depends on how wide the wheel is... a 18x9.5+42 would be poked out more than the 18x7.5+42....


those sizes and offsets are not ideal for the Z they would be a downgrade even from the base 18 inch wheels.. I would pass... the wheels would like like they were 2-3 inches sucked into your fender...

A little too busy for my taste. I think the 370 is sexy enough on its own that wheels shouldn't distract from that.

IMO, they look okay. Stockers look better to me, though.

Not a fan, and like has already been said, 7.5" is way too narrow for the Z.
