Are 25mm spacers going to be enough, too much, or not enough!?!?!?!

Hey guys, it has been awhile since i have posted but i recently changed springs on my car due to height issues. With that, a little extra moddin is getting done since im workin on her. I recently changed my springs from 350z prokit springs to 350z h-tech springs cause i wanted a little more ride height and driveability. While doing so, i figured that i would finally get around to puttin spacers on my car since i have the time. Im leaning towards gettin 25mm spacers, and i want to know if i can handle this size spacer on the front wheel without major fender issues like rubbing, or worse denting a fender.

Here is the specs:

350z H techs
Rear Camber kit
Wheel size: 20x8.5 20x10
Wheel offset: +35 all around
Tire sizes: 225/35/20 255/35/20 (i always liked the look stretched look on a tire)

Sooo, im pretty positive that this will work as long as i roll my rear fenders and get the car properly aligned after, which i am taking it straight to Nissian dealer afterwards. Like i said, im pretty sure the back will not be an issue, im just scared on the front...thanks guys...

Why don't you just take a tape measure and see how far they'll stick out. 25mm = 1".

You'll be fine with 25mm's all around. The set up will work.

Make sure your rear fenders are rolled. The only rubbing I might see happening is your front tires rubbing on the front bumper / fender bracket mount. It is only because of your sidewall in the front though. I had this issue with my 35 series sidewall, but that was when I was running 245/35 in the front. (I have no switched to 225/35 Toyo Extensa in the front with no rubbing now) With your 225/35 you should be in the clear, but just be wary of it is all. The rubbing will also depend on how low you plan on going as well.

i don't see any potential problems. To give you an idea, here are my specs:

FR: 20 X 9.5 +7 offset, Tire 245/35/20
RR: 20 X 10.5 +16 offset, Tire 275/30/20

lowered on coilovers about 1.75 inches. rear fenders are rolled mildly, about 2.0 deg camber all around. no rubbing issues what so ever.
