Default Questions about spacers...

OK, so I got 03' 350Z Touring and I recently got rims over the summer but I don't like how the rears are not completely flush with the fender. It seems as if they are a little tucked in.

My setup is:
19x8 TSW Kyalami w/ an offset of 20 -F
19x9.5 TSW Kyalami w/ an offset of 35 -R

and just yesterday I dropped my Z w/ Eiback Pro-Kit springs, and it's now even more noticable than before.

What size spacers should I get?
Are all spacers universal or are they specifically made for different rim manufacturers, or different car?
Where can I get spacers, and does quality/companies make a difference?
Does it effect the quality of the ride?

-Thanks in advance fellas

the main thing you want to make sure is that your spacers are hub centric. if they are not then you could cause some serious vibrations. the best spacers out there are from H&R, do a search either here or even just google it. should find plenty of stuff.

for your setup i would probably get a spacer that brings you equal to the offset of your front. a 15mm would work great.

the most exact way to determine though is if you have a way to easily jack the car up and remove the tire, just put a template spacer in untill you get the look you want and then measure that and then thats the template.

if you cant do that all that readily then just measure from your tires sidewall to just inside the fender or even flush, depending on what you want. this can be tricky cause we are talking measurements into the mm's. can be tough to accurately see.

good luck.
