dammit... too many ppl disagreeing here, I wanna know this too. Ive been researching this and every thread about spacers on oem wheels has ppl disagreeing.

Can we come to 1 conclusion about 15/20 vs 20/25 on oem 19's and stock springs?

both work, depends on how aggressive you want to go. 25 in the rear may require a roll depending on your drop and camber settings.

20mm/25mm will work with 350z H-tech drop.. I would Def go with 20/25..
With 15/20 the wheels still look way sunken to me..

Do you guys think i will require a roll with z htechs in the rear with the springmount mod? I also have a rear camber kit. This is going with the .25

Its hard to say, it really is going to depend on the car, and it will likely be a close fit

wider spacers might work as your car isn't as low and that will give the tires a chance to tuck in as the suspension moves up... also if you didnt adjust the camber the rear wheels may tuck in as there's more negative camber(they'll wear uneven & faster though)

I don't think I could go wider and maintain correct wheel camber (unless I roled the rear fenders). The front rubs with this set up on sharp turns and going up a driveway or such... can't imagine 5mm more.

Mondo, which spacers do you have, sizes, and where did you get em from. Looks good. Very good.

He said above that he has 15/20, but his drop is quite low which is why he's rubbing in the front.

I'd love to get some spacers on my OEM 19's while im stock as far as looks. But I think I push my car a little too hard; from what I hear, spacers aren't recommended in that case.

I do not take my car to road courses / circuit tracks, but I do take it to the drag strip and, more importantly, I do find myself driving very hard on the canyons on occasions.

Any inputs?

bolt on spacers double the number of possible weak points because of the added nuts and studs used, but if they are quality spacers, they aren't any more likely to fail than the OEM studs would be. I have yet to see anyone on here post an experience with spacer failure. Just make sure everything is torque correctly, and the risk really shouldn't be much greater than stock

15/20 is my vote. I don't have spacers, but I can't stand when tires stick out from a fender and 20/25 looks overdone.

I have a rear camber kit in which I can correct the camber even if they tilt more, this should give me a bigger chance of rubbing. But in the front I dont have a camber kit and the wheels are pretty tucked. Is it possible to go with 20mm/20mm? Because adjusting the camber in the rear will make it come out more which would look even further out. Let me know. Also should I go with Ichiba or H&R. Street Image has them.

If you are real low and tucked it will rub.

So if I get 20mm/25mm with stock suspension will it mess with camber?
