while we are on this topic...Do spacers cause any problems to the car over time? Are there any cons to adding spacers to your car?

Not too sure. I've heard they put more stress on your lugs and hub but that's no different then getting wider wheels with super low off sets.

I just wanted to thank people for posting pics in this thread. The forum is so active (many posts per day) that searching is kind of a crap shoot with too much junk. I have OEM 350Z springs coming for a slight drop, and am still a little confused between 20/25 or 25 x4, looks like both look good. Buying a set of 4 used 25mm from a member here, will post pics after install.

theres tons a wheel gap in the front, and the front sits slightly higher than the back, so you definitely won't rub. If you're really worried go outside a measure the gap.

Also what kind of spacers are you getting?

Except when the car was loaded down with 2 friends and I'd go over dips on the freeway.
Here's some olds pics of my ride to give you an idea of the drop and look of the spacers.
Thank you, thank you for posting this. Finally someone just says what they ride and whether or not it rubs.

Spacer stress

So no one responded on the wheel axle/bearing stress! Can anyone comment on the reliability of there vehicles after putting spacers on? I would think that you are going to wear out bearings about 8 times as fast with 25mm spacers? Please comment on this as I plan on adding spacers to my ride as well! Thanks

^You can expect the wheel bearings to have a shorter life, but 8X faster sounds exaggerated. The bearings will still last a while.

They didn't rate it by percentage just light/med/dark.
I got the medium on the back
and light up front.
It's more like a thick overlay.
It's thicker & more flexable than tint and they were able to
adjust the cutout to the way I liked it so it looked more like a custom painted tailight.

I did 20mm all around on stock 19's and have no issues. Im lowered on BC coils. running 245/35/19 front, 245/40/19 rear with no issues. im getting 275's for the rear in the next month and went with 20mm just to be safe even though the 25mm would probably be more flush. i didnt want to take the chance of rolling the fenders. Im about 1.5 drop up front and 1.0 in rear. bought them from b2b in the vendors section. great service and prices. hope this helps.
