Default Wheels and suspension

I am looking to buy some wheels (Varrstoen es2) with tein springs (1.5inch) drop. I do not want my wheels to tuck in my wheel well, so do I need a wheel spacer to make sure my wheels sit flush with the body?

I google 350z varrstoen rims and like the set ups but it makes me question is it just springs and wheels that make it sit flush. Not really a stance guy so when I do buy it im making sure im buying everything i need.

Ride height, wheel offset/width, alignment settings and tire selection all play a part in how flush your set up is.

btw, tein springs will not give you a 1.5 inch drop, only their coilovers. the s-tech will give you about .7 drop in front and .6 in the rear. if you want to go that low (which i dont know why you would want to unless your street are perfect ... but thats just me) look into the Eibach Sport Lines, they will give you a 1.2 drop

Exactly.

Also, if you're dropping that low, you're going to need more than just wheels and springs...

^ THIS!! Hope the OP has a few extra pesos laying around for more suspension parts as well [coils, camber/toe, etc...]
