Default Time for wheel spacers...

I've got a set of 19" LMGT4s with the +25 front and +30 offsets - the ones you buy from Brinster on ebay.com. If I had known the offsets would turn out the way they did, I wouldn't have bought them. Of course, I made the purchase over a year ago now and I was much less knowledgeable then in comparison to now. In a perfect world, I'd just buy a set from Gruppe-S and get them with better offsets and 10.5 width but I'm a fulltime student and don't have the cash for that right now.

But I hate the way the wheels look inside the wells! I was looking at a stock Z the other day and I think the stock wheels sit more snug in the wells than mine do... I want them to be flush with the fender line. Please help me out. What kind of spacers do I need to accomplish this?

Also, what experiences do any of you having using spacers? I've heard good and bad. Thanks!

This is the look I'm aiming for, except without change in camber.

I'm kinda happy with the way the lmgt4's sit in the fenders.

Just something about it makes itself a pet peeve to me. You can tell that it's not flush with the fenders, and I don't like that...

How far do you want to move the wheels? 10 mm? 20 mm? 30 mm? There you go.

Okay, so the Eibachs will run me about 300 bucks for both sets. Do I need to worry about any tire rubbing, and do I need to lengthen my studs?

No, the car's not lowered, it's at stock height. Believe it or not, I'd really like to keep it that way.
