i would stick with your stock bumper, lower it, and get the CV2's. that would look better than amuse body kit, not lowered, and wheel gap. you have to commit to a style, can't just half arse it hoping it will look okay. especially since you are going for DRESSUP.
It's kind off funny, but to my eye coming of the Celica, the 370 wheel gap looks very small.

yah, the Z's gap in stock form (at least looking at the 19's) is even with the sidewall so it's not pronounced. as long as you run 19's with adequate sidewall height and conservative offsets, it would not look weird.

if you introduce 20's with shorter sidewall, then the gap will be more noticable even if you ran conservative offset.

especially when you introduce an agressive bumper like the amuse to the mix, you have to commit to that theme which will basically "require" you to lower your ride... otherwise your bumper/wheel will look out of place and your car's theme will be unfocused. would look better stock.
