350Z Track Wheels on DSM

[TalonSpeed]

I came across some very rare 03-05 Nissan 350Z track wheels. They are forge aluminum. With these specs:

Track 18" v.1
Extremely lightweight and stylish, the Rays forged Track model wheels have been a desirable upgrade for owners of other models.
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 18.19lbs
Tire: 225/45/18
Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 18.62lbs
Tire: 245/45/18
I plan on running 245/40/18 on all four corners. Or maybe 255/40/18 although I doubt they fit with these offsets. I plan on putting these on my 2G 98 AWD Talon, lowered on ProKit springs and AGX shocks, with 5 washer rear camber kit.

Im sure the fronts will fit. Not sure about the rear, but according to this thread ( http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/350z-wheels-on-a-2g-explained.343588/ ) they will fit with 1mm taken off the wheel hub bore. At 18lbs for a 18" rim for less than $300 with tires........deal is too good to pass up. What you guys think?

I have 18x9 +35's and they fit fine. However my car was not dumped "hellaflush yo" and my spring rates were quite high. 800 and 350 front to rear.

Is shaving the rear rims worth it? Not for me. I would sell them and find another set of fronts.

Also, be careful when using different size wheels. I know you will stick to the same size tire but overall diameter might be different front to rear.

Why would I need to shave the rear rim? What is shaving a rim anyway? Nissan bore is 66.1 vs DSM bore of 67.1. So a 1mm shave of the bore on the wheels is needed. If you are running 18x9 +35 front and back which would be 4.35 mm closer to fender and 8.35mm closer to suspension than the 18x8.5 +33 Nissan rims. If your 18x9 fit then I could get 18x8.5 all around. What size tires do you run? and with what amount of drop?

Not shaving the rim, shaving the inside of the fender.
