Default Wheel Spacer Newb

Hi, I currently have stock 07 Z with the stock 18" wheels. I want to get wheel spacers so my car can look flush. However, I have a few questions before getting one.

1. Do I have to consider how many bolts it has so that it matches my current bolt pattern on the wheel?

2. What is the recommended wheel spacer to look most flush with stock wheels?

3. If I go aftermarket wheels later on, and I already have spacers that made the stocks flush, would the aftermarket wheels be too flush?

4. Would I need to fender roll if I get spacers for stok 18" wheels OR aftermarket wheels? What determines if I need a fender roll?


Gracias

#1 Are you serious? Of course a 4 bolt spacer would work

#2 Id say 15-20mm

#3 If you go aftermarket and do it correctly, you wouldnt need spacers

#4 How crazy you go determines on if you need a roll or not. Some research can yield you pics, and more info.

Contact one of our sponsers and order spacers. They will sell you an appropriate set-up for your car. Your questions show that you are completely clueless.

I tried to install 20mm spacers in the back but couldnt get the longer studs in. There wasn't enough room to get them in.

1 question for clarification: Any 20mm & 25mm will work on 07 stock wheels right?

No . . . if you do some research in this forum, you will find your answers. There are dozens & dozens of threads asking the very same questions on spacers.

I searched and sort of found the answer. I see there are specs on the spacers like 5x114.3 etc... How do I know which spec will fit the stock 07 18" wheels, if going 25 front & rear?


Also, what should I look for in quality wheel spacers? Ebay vs Eibach for ex, I can't tell the cons.
