Kics spacers installed (pics)
Before I bought these, I kept looking for actual pictures of what these would look like for the Z (I could only find the standard picture that was a 4 lug version)....so here's my pics:
10mm and 15mm (type w/ studs on spacer)
unboxed w/ all the lugnuts and sockets included:
side veiw:
mounted on the hub:
if you look on the A-arm, you can see a spot when it's rubbed clean...that from my last years wheels that would rub while hard cornering.
wheel is much more flush and clears my A-arm;

*I did notice that if you hand tighten all of the kics' lug nuts onto the spacer, there's not really any movement of the spacer...seemed like a really good fit. (I also was driving them today going 75 MPH and didn't get any extra vibrations)

I also thought the Kics come with hub rings installed. The wheels sit very flush now. Does the thread from the original lugs hit the rim? It looks like the threads are sticking out enough to not let the wheel sit properly.
How about some pics of the car with your Enkei's! I love those wheels!

I was using the peice of wood to compress the suspension a bit so that it was a little easier to tell if it'd rub.

1) 18X10 +38 w/ 295/35/18 --> fits, but within 1-3mm of shock.
2) same setup as #1 w/ 15mm spacer --> fits
3) same setup as #1 w/ 20mm spacer --> rubs on fender.
so I can fit a 305 w/o rolling the fender, but to get to a 315, I'll need to roll the rears...which I plan to do next Thursday (running a 295Front and 315Rear is just too temping ...this all assumes that the tires will get enough heat in them to operate at 160-200F)

So, unless you're running something like a 25mm+ spacer, yes it will stick out, but may not matter depending on your wheel.
(bottom right, you can see the space between each hole for the studs)
