Default spacer question

i have the oem 07-08 wheels, i am planing on getting the 25m spacers for the rear, but since im dropped with gf210's can i put on 265 in the rear with my 25m spacer and drop?

that would be the perfect setup for stock wheels if it fits!!!

I don't know. Put the tire on the wheel and the wheel on the car. Do you have 25 mm clearance? If yes get some spacers.

275 doesn't fit the 07 wheels, 265/40 is the widest you can go.

If it rubs just roll the fender, to get the nice and flush look a roll is always needed.

as i said im running spacers on a gf210 drop.. go ahead and prepare to buy a camber kit as well...do it right atleast...anyway, i have 25mm in the rear and 20mm in the front...i would think 25mm in the front would be too much...IMO.. anyway, heres with stock sized tires...

I just put on 25 in the rear and was thinking of 25 in front. How flush is it with 20 on the front? Does it match well with the rear?

20 up front is perfect.. Just flush.. 25 would make it look funny bc the front would be out farther than the rears.. You won't be upset with 20 bc it's just flush.. But as always it's ur car!

i have 25's all around. the fronts do look a bit more flush than the rears, but then again i'm not dropped at all. i'm glad i didn't go with the 20mm.

Okay, I guess I'll let you slide . . . for now.

The Z definitely looks much better lowered with flushed rims.

Thanks for the pics everyone, I think I am gonna go with 20 on the front, due to the fact that I am lowered. Tight350z, I am hoping it comes out looking like yours.

i think once you lower the car with spacers you will notice a complete difference...but i would def. go ahead and buy the spc front and rear arms... they have a deal goin for i think $525? thats what i paid for front and rear!

the z should've came from the factory with better offsets. even with my car at stock height it looks 100x better with the spacers. plus +1. the car will look wayyy better with a drop and spacers.
