I haven't dug into the rear axle yet.
I wonder if the OEM Brembo Brake equipped cars can be done without removing the rotors as well...hmm.

Do you think 15mm would fit?

I'm running 15mm on the rear and based on how that looks I would think 15mm on the front would be too much. I'm thinking about 5mm on the front but haven't made up my mind yet.

I think the opposite is true. To me, the front needs 5mm more than the back. I have 10mm all the way around now, and things are nice and flush, but the front would not look bad with 5mm more.

JMN, which ones did you order? Can't wait to see the pics. I think 15mm will look good.

I have 25mm H@R spacers that I left on my Z that I was going to take off and put on my G. Didn't do much searching yet, but how come there aren't alot of people running 25mm on the 19" stocks? I had the 18" track wheels on my Z and the offset and size is the same as the 19" except of course for the diameter.

Do you realize you are posting in the 2007 sedan section. Offsets are a lot different than a first gen coupe.
