Watanabe vendor also confirmed availability at JCCS last Saturday, said to check the website. Was hoping for a squared setup; wonder if that 9.5 or 10.5 works, offset seems to be close.

So glad I have one of the older sets, 9"/9.5", really appreciating how they're made, the craftsmanship! :clap:

Too bad they didn't make the Nismo fitment or something similar. 9.5 inch in the front seems too narrow, but they look SO good. I wonder if the rear 10.5 inch wide Wats would clear the performance or the Nismo brakes on the front then you could run a 10.5 square setup that might not poke too bad if lowered.

It's also weird how the front's look larger diameter than the rears due to where the spokes land on the rim(inside the barrel vs outside) with the 19 inch staggered Wats. The 18 inch setup looks better in that regard but no idea if it would clear the performance let alone the Nismo brakes. They only appear to be putting the 18 inch version on the Japanese equivalent to sports with the small brakes

18 inch Wats on Z's:

They look small in 18inch so I’d go the 19’s!

In Australia the Z comes in two specs, Z which is equiv to Performance or Nismo.

I might consider the 19s to match my S30's 16s. I'm sure they will be at JCCS this Oct, will attend.
