Im looking to bring the rear wheels right out to the fender, but im not sure which size spacer to go with. Would i be better off with a 10mm or a 15mm with fenders rolled? Im not sure if the 15mm will be too much. I thru on a 20mm a saved from my stockys jus to see wut it looked like before i dropped it and it looked crazy (as in not good lol). Im dropped about an inch in the back on Stance GR+ Pros. Im not looking to go too low and lose functionality of the car, i would just like a better stance. Its a G, btw for those of u who are wondering.

PS: Dont tell me to get new wheels

Looks like you could fit 15mm in there without rubbing on the fenders (assuming your fenders are rolled). What offset are those wheels?

Anyone making a suggestion without asking wheel width and offset is merely guessing, which you could do on your own. Eddie hit the nail on the head assuming we don't know the width and offset. Take a wheel off, and look inside of it.

FWIW On my Z I am running 285's at +12 offset in the rear with fenders rolled and I have plent of clearance. You can definitely fit a 10mm spacer, an I imagine a 15mm would work especially if the fenders are rolled tight.

Edit: also I am within oem limits for camber.

I have this same setup. I just bought 15mm spacers out front and 25mm spacers out back. I'm going with a stretched tire look but we will see how this works soon enough.

Nope, thats next. Im sure im a lil negative. Do ya think it be safer to run a 10? Idk if the 15 will be too close once the camber gets corrected.

This is pre spacers!! Will update the thread after spacers/new tires/rolled fenders and camber setting are dialed in.

Yours
F: 20x9 +15
R: 20x10 +20 with 275/30

Mine
F: 19x9 +22
R: 19x10 +25 with 285/35

I tried a 10mm spacer for the rear, and it fitted pretty flush without rubbing (1 finger gap between the tire and fender). My Z is lowered on Bilstein Pss10 and the fenders are rolled.
Last night, I ordered H&R 10mm and 15mm spacers. I will update once I install the spacers and after gettting an alignment.
