as for the weight 22lbs vs 27 is pretty huge. on my G35C i noticed longer braking distance (under normal driving), heavy footed while turning and changing directions in switch backs. once you're use to the new dynamics it's not too big of a deal but why downgrade your performance from the factory wheels on a sportscar? on a coupe like my G35C im going 50/50 on looks and performance, but on my 370Z im going more like 100% for function and not degrade it from stock. good looks is only a side-effect.

Of course, with a spacer they will clear... especially with a 10mm. Without running a front spacer, they will most likely not clear the Akebonos.
