you can put a wheel spacer but If I were you I will change my wheels to wider size such as 9.5F 10.5R wider wheels looks so much better with concaveness

Put a 20mm spacer in the rear. It'll look weird otherwise. In essence this doesnt have to be a mistake. If you bought 4 of the same wheel, then you can rotate the wheels and get more life out of tires.

here are some 20mm spacers. The wheels are fine, just put spacers on. I like the idea of being able to rotate the tire/wheels also.

4065662 NISSAN 350Z 20mm DRS 66.2 5/114.3 12x1.25 $112.50

what are your current offsets for the wheels? I assume they are all the same? This is the only way we can suggest a certain width spacer.

I feel your pain. When I first purchased my wheels, I had recieved 19x8's in the front. Looked really bad with the offset it came in. After several months, I ordered the 9's with better offset. Still going to add some spacers when I get some time.

Just in case you wondering. I also have the 77W with 19x10 in rear with 28 offset and the 19x9 in the front are 30 offset. Looking to go 10mm spacer after I get my fenders rolled.

it's still going to look a bit wierd even with spacers. The staggered wheels that those g games comes in has a bigger lip in the rear. You never test fitted the rims before paint?

what are your OFFSETS. I know the width and diameter of your wheels but what offsets are you running. it should be a + number. Also, why are you ordering stuff before we answer. This is what got you in this mess in the first place. SLOW DOWN and let the poll happen before you buy stuff.
