5 to 10 mm up front and 10 to 15 in the back. I have 5 , 10 and 20mm spacers out the house for test fitting.

Seriously. Very precise guide.

I dont know about the Z but it was a pain in the *** to remove the stock studs on an rsx I used to have.

So for the Z I went with 25s in both front and rear. Cant wait to set the car back down. I running stock suspension and wheels.

I dont know about the 350z but getting anything smaller than 25mm was a pain in the *** to remove the stock studs on an rsx I used to have.

I just put on 25s. But Im on stock suspension. youd be mexi flush with the 25s

As soon as I get the hardware kit for my PPE longtube headers the HFC's and DC headers will be off the car. As soon as I order from Z1 again I'll also have 15 mm spacers at the house. I want a full set for any wheel and tire combo in the future.

Lowered 3/4" when it thumped on dips. After roll I was able to lower it more and have a lot more flexibility with alignment, wheels, and tires.

Default Wheel spacing?

Okay so i just got my Z recently, and today i got it lowered. I love it, looks great. BUT, i feel like it can still look better.

I noticed, after dropping it, the wheels are kind of hidden under the body? Does that make sense? Like the fender comes out farther than the tires..I dont like that. Now my question is, is there a way to get the tires out further without making my tires all angled? I dont want the tires angled way out, i just want them pushed out so that they are EVEN under the fender.
You know how SUV's and truck people put their tires out farther than the car? thats what i mean. but obviously i dont want them way out, just even under the fender lining.

I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, i hope it does. I'm just getting into cars and my knowledge is lacking. Help would be great..

Spacers will help, I have sustec springs and 20mm spacers all around and it looks very clean. The best option is to get new wheels with an aggressive off set but if you're on a budget like me, spacers are def a practical option. Just make sure they're make/model specific, not some cheap universal crap. As far as the camber issue, it's not enough to worry about. My tires haven't shown any signs of uneven wear in about 8k miles. Also helps to have non directional tires so they can be rotated if need be. Hope this helps. Also, with 20mm spacers you'll have to replace the lugs/studs with longer ones which can be a PITA, took me about 4 hours to get them on. Good luck and happy modding.

So if i were to follow your route, all i need is 20mm spacers and it will be even under the fender line?
And when you say aggressive off set, you mean tires that are wide? If i were to simply get wider tires would the HEIGHT of the tires fit and not rub against the fender?

Default Spacers spacers spacers

So just got coilovers and a new set of forged wheels. Now I planned on running spacers and some negative camber(I have camber arms all around) but once I got the wheels I realized they don't have the cut out holes in the back of the hub? So is it possible to run spacers? My last wheels had them, but these don't. Sooooooooo am I just sol on the spacer thing or what?

Does that replace the stock studs? To make them really long so I have enough to be safe and thread my lugs on?
