+1 on the wheels spacers there is nothing worst then the wrong offset on the z nice wheels but you need some spacers makes a big difference.

thanx you guys i do agree about the spacers for the front but i dont think the back needs them. where can i get some spacers? what size? and do the pins need to be changes to make them longer?

u need to measure it to see how much room you have to move out to the fender the back wheel look like they could be pushed out a bit also actually but the fronts for sure. you can get spacers from alot of places just put wheel spacers in a search engine and alot will come up you will like it alot more with the spacers big difference it would have been better if you would have gotten the right offset the first time so you wouldnt need spacers but you live and learn but i like the wheels just get them spaced and you will be set.

well i got these wheels used so i had no choice in size wise. are spacers dangerous in any way or do they do any sort of extra wear on the tread of the tires?

people will tell you they do because they put more strain on the studs since the wheel is further out on the stud but ive never heard any problems with them just be sure to check them your lug nuts periodically to make sure they dont lossen up on you. I also have a show car mustang widebody and i had to get 4.5 inch spacers for my wheels lol i havent had a problem so 15mm shouldnt be a problem at all lol. l had to get them badboys costomed made but they have their own studs so they are better than normal spacers.

i'm in the same shoes as you calitouring. i probably have the same offset and would also need spacer. and i also bought my rims used from a buddy and the price was too good to pass it up regardless of the offset, but your rims are still hot

Those do look really nice on your car. I like the staggered look of those wheels. Like already mentioned, a set of spacers up front will do a lot for it as well. There was a set in the private classifieds right now as well I think.

These were the spacers I was referring to, but it seems as though they have already been sold. Atleast you know you can pick them up pretty cheap though.
