You should have a lower rear offset. 15 or 20 mm if it fits.

Remember though with an 11 inch wheel vs 10 inch stock it is going to sit out 12mm further at the same offset (25mm wider, splitting the difference over the center line).

So a 19x11 +30 is equivalent to a 19x10 +18 for flushness sake.

Reviewing the availibility it looks liek +33 might most they go... I dunno if I wanna settle for 19X11 +33 or go to like 19X10 +22 or +24...

I've got 10.5 +22 in the rear and while I love it and dont want to push it TO MUCH, its still 5-10mm short from being 'hella flush' but then again i still love the way mine look!

The front wheel with a 24mm offset pushes out the wheel by 23mm, versus stock offset of 47mm. If the front wheels are pushed out by 23mm then the rear wheels have to be pushed out by 23mm.

A 11 inch rear wheel pushes out the wheel by 12mm, and an offset of 20mm with an 11 inch wheel will push out the wheel by about 23mm.

The offset that you will see from the 19*11 and 19*10 won't be noticable. I think both are kind of weak, it will push it out 9mm, 8mm from stock.

You can see the DDM 370Z with the same wheels here:

DDMotorsports: Forgestar Wheels! Forged 1-Piece!

Their offset is practically the same as I am going to run. I dont think it looks bad personally.

I think they went
19X9 +24
19X11 + 33

Looks good and the colour combo is nice.
Need to get the headlights done in flat black also.
