Alright guys after deciding not to get aftermarket wheels for a while, I've decided to enhance the look of the stock 06 z, i have purchased 275 tires for the bac (please dont give me heat for this) and 245 for the front.....Next I wanted to get spacers for the stock rims but not sure what to put on because on all the threads that I've read give me mixed reactions and results. Ok as for height I am in the process of buying tein basics....As for the lugnuts I was looking into some red ones but I am also getting mixed feedback on whether to go extended or not.....So if anyone could please give me their guiding hand on this subject that would be mostly appreciated.....

ugh 275's for a 8.5" wheel? battle of the bulge! oh well, tein basics? are you gonna keep the negative camber or get it aligned as much as possible or get a camber kit?

If you get spacers, get KICS Project, since they come with built in studs. Extremely reliable brand around here. As far as the suspension, may I suggest Hotchkis? Most people prefer them over Teins, stating the handling characteristics are much tighter (less body roll), yet the ride is barely harsher than stock.

Do you have any contacts with who's selling these spacers, where I can get them? I also thought about hotchkis since I was close to buying a z with them on but I want a more aggressive drop and flexibility to go track if I wanted to....

with stock tires... that would be 15 and 17 the end result right.

yeah but remember 15 in the front is a breeze. i run +15 in the front with my 9.5" wheel and 1.25" drop. if your rear was a 10.5 wheel it might rub but with a 8.5" wheel, it wont be a problem.

Yes , and thats with stock sized tires. Things are going to get thrown out the door when he's dealing with improper wheel width to tire width.

thanks for all the help finally a straight answer ...... Oh what do think about H&R or Ischiba spacers compared to kics, since kics is the only one using installed studs already.....

I think I might wanna try 15 for the front and 20 for the back....any thoughts..

Should work , but you will probably have to roll fenders.

I've seen a 275 on the stock 8.5" wheel, It looked fine, just a little beefy.

If you're going for the "flush" look and are lowering your car, just plan on rolling the fenders also. Get it professionally done and you won't have to worry about paint chips. Otherwise, go with a less aggressive offset.

20 in the front and 25 in the back as far as spacers go are fine. If you wanted to, you can push 25 in the front to bring it perfectly flush. Some people don't like that, though.

I have H&R spacers and they've been great so far.

If one were to go with 25 mm spacers all around on stock wheels/tires with a drop on Tanabe GF210s, would they have to roll fenders?
