help with spacers

well i finally got my first set of wheels, mrr gt-5 19x8.5 +35 front wrapped with 245/35/19 and 19x9.5 +35 rears with 275/30/19 nankangs. i have been trying to decide what size spacers would be best for what i have. i am thinking 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. i wanted to get some other opinions or verification before i bought the spacers so i would like to hear what you guys think. thanks

OEM 19s have an offset of +30 F and +33 R.
For your +35 offset wheels, a 20mm F and a 25mm R will be good. You could even go 25-25 or 25-30 for a more aggressive look.

Does look nice and flush..

Spector is selling some stechs (350z springs), and BlueBob is selling his H&R springs.. R1Forever80 also rolls fenders and so does AcidJake..

Options, Options, Options...

I'm thinking about doing spacers myself. I'm +25 in the front and +20 in the rear.. What would you guys suggest for my settings? Was thinking about +20 all the way around.

yeah i think the 20mm spacers would push them out just enough. you could even go with 15mm. just depends on how aggressive you want to go.

well I was thinking w/ the +25 in the front, I'd still be staggered looking since I'd only go 20mm in the front, and the rear would be perfectly flush (in theory)
