Default wide body kit

I have an 04 Z and just bought a veilside v3 wide body kit. It is the exact same one on Tokyo Dirft. Can someone please tell me what size wheels to use with my setup. I want the spacing to look riht and not look like a jackd up truck with stock wheels and tires. They look like they're on stilts. So I want my Z to look good. What is the spacing I need?

Fronts are way to narrow for 245's , why would you buy a set of stock 17's?

Yes, but 245’s on stock 17” wheels will be bulged. Are you OK with that?

Are we still talking about the stock 17” wheels on which you want to mount 245mm tires?

If so, these wheels are narrow, and the 245mm tire isn’t very wide. A 10-20mm spacer will position the tire out, but consider the fact you have a narrow wheel with a bulged tire. That is not the best looking arrangement.

If you want a flush look, consider buying a different wheel (wider) and wider tires.

Instead of running oem 17" with wrong tires size and add spacer, may i suggest getting 18" with ideal offset.

^^ I second what dtsj350z says. Don't throw money away trying to make stock 17s look better. Just run normal size tires and don't waste your money on spacer. Save a little cash and buy some decent low offset wheels.
