Default what size wheel spacers do i need?

I recently bought a set of xxr 522 19x8.5 +38/19x10 +42. These wheels are on my 04 350z. This wheel offset is too high and i would like to get a set of wheel spacers to bring the wheels out flush with my fender wells for a more aggressive stance. I am running 245 40 19/275 35 19 tires. the wheels sit close to an inch inside the fender well giving the car a look that appears way too stock for me. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why didn't you just buy some wheels with decent offsets instead of buying bad offset wheels and then having to get spacers?

Sorry bro, hate to say it but you'll need 30mm spacers to flush that out. Sell the wheels and do it right.

How far do you want to move the wheels? 10 mm? 20 mm? 30 mm? This is not rocket science.

I would start with new wheels, a good set of spacers is going to set you back $250, and thats more than those wheels are worth.

15-20 front and 20-25 rear would make it look better. If your car has VDC, you may have some slip issues with those tire sizes.

you should aim to be at 0-12mm with your spacers.
