I'm in the market for spacers and I think this is probably the thread with the most expertise in it, so here goes:
F: 19x9.5" (+17) Volk GT-S on 255/30 Toyo T1-Rs
R: 19x10.5" (+18) Volk GT-S on 275/30 Toyo T1-Rs
Now...for starters, this fitment doesn't qualify as stretched, but I would like to pull the fitment out a bit, as I can currently fit a quarter between the tire and the fender. (Rear camber now is -2.3 left and -1.9 right)
Measuring it as it sits now, the rim face is 15mm inside the vertical plane of the fender. The tire itself (with the minimal bit of stretch I have) is 23mm from the inside of my rolled rear fenders.
I'm going to get the rear set up first and then move on to the front. What size spacers would you guys recommend for the back? I've attached a mega-shi++y photoshop of what I estimate it would look like with each offset. One other thing I considered was taking the 255/35s from the front and putting them on the rears once I've destroyed the 275/35s I have back there now.

^ i don't see how your rims don't stick out more. I have the same setup on 285's and my rims and tires stick out as far as your +0 setup. I'd be worried of scraping when taking turns if you are that far out. Even with rolled fenders.
Edit: If you want to be safe with that streched look, try and find 265's or something. It looks like its gonna rub bad with what your trying to do.

I wanted to try the washer trick just to see how it fits, but I dont think I'll be able to get the lugs far enough on the studs with 15mm worth of washers in there. I don't want to pull the trigger on 20mm or 15mm spacers until I know which ones I need.
Thanks for the info though...I dont really know how there is such a difference in our fitments.
Noooooo, dnt sell those rims Z33. They will look hot on your car

This question is for the aggressive guys like fatboy, chean, devil and status....
What do you guys think of 20x9.5 +0 & 20x10.5 -6 on a Z? Will that require pulling you think or just a roll and stretch? I'd rather not pull the rears since its hard to have it turn out really clean. A roll is no problem since I've already done that.
Or I'm considering a slightly less aggressive set up of 20x9.5 +7 & 20x10.5 +0...
Wheels I've decided on is Work Varianza T1S most likely in all black barrels and faces.
Help me out so I can order my rims this week

order those up ASAP, and that front offset needs to be closer to 0 and the rear at -5!
