Hey guys, I have a set of 19" Volk GT-C's 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the rears, and the tires are 255/35/19 in the front and 275/40/19 in the rear. The offsets are +27 in the front and +24 in the rear. I'm not happy at all with the offset and want to push it out to flush, but also do not want to rub/have to roll fenders. My question is what size spacers should i use for this odd tire/wheel setup? I was thinking probably 10-15 mm in the fronts and I don't even know what to do for the rears because of the oversized sidewalls. Thanks.

Measure how much space you have between the tire and fender to move outwards. That will be how much spacer you need.
Rolling fenders is easy and probably necessary (if you are lowered...if not, wtf are you doing?). Just borrow/rent a fender roller and a heat gun

I'm lowered on s tech's. The body shop I usually bring it to said some bs about the fenders being really difficult to roll on the 350z =\ so that put me off wanting to roll the fenders.

get a roll and a pair of 10.5's for the rear. Use your old rears up front and your set.

i took of the wheel and did some measuring today myself with washers. 15 mm set it out nice and flush. When inspecting the fenders it was odd, it seemed like the fronts were already rolled up, whilst the rears were the opposite? Anyone else notice this? I'm guessing its to clear the fender when turning the wheels. Not sure if it will rub with this setup gonna have to buy some cheapo spacers to test it out before i get serious with some H &R's. Thanks for the advice.
P.S. I can't get 10.5 for the rears I'm way too short on cash lol. Deep dish doesn't really matter much to me as long as I can get the rubber down with the right offset.
