To answer your question. Yes you need to toll the rear fenders. The fronts might be ok. Have you felt the lip on the rear fender? Go touch it, it's huge. The amount of camber you would need to clear that would be ridiculous. That in itself would make you have a big fender to wheel gap. Slam it withought spacers, or get the fenders rolled

Exactly. That large of a spacer and lowering it enough to tuck a couple inches of tire WILL need rolled fenders. I rented a roller and a heat gun from a guy on a local forum and I know it was intimidating at first, but if you take your time it will come out great.

If you dont want to run a bunch of camber, be prepared to spend quite a bit on front and rear camber kits. Tucking that much tire in a Z requires a large amount of lowering and the correct offset.

I have stock V1 track wheels and I run 20/25mm spacers. I will be lowering my Z on Tanabe springs here soon so I rolled my fenders to handle the lowering and spacing.

There's a drag racing forum with slips and what mods. I was almost feeling bad about flaming but not anymore. Go back to honda-tech and sell your Z.

20/25 didnt give me a flush look, but it gave a much more acceptable look.

I didn't think so. Lower the car first. Then you can measure for spacers.
