what size spacers should i get?

Im looking to get spacers to make my wheels sit more aggressively, currently my setup is

axis pentas
20x9 +25mm front (245/35/20)
20x10 +25mm rear (275/30/20)

dropped on 350z h-techs, going to do springmount mod in the rear.

currently do not have a camber kit and am hoping to avoid it, even with springmount.

what size spacers should i get? and will i need fenders rolled?


here are some pics of what it looks like right now

I have PIAA super Rozzas in the same offsets that you do, and im gonna get 15 front and 10 rear. Although i am dropped much lower than you are. Youcan prolly do a good 15 all around. Your call

your putting bigger ones in the front? isnt that the opposite of what people usually do?

I am all the way down in the back on my coils and even lower in the front. I dont have a front camber kit although i have a rear one. So i am running camber in the front which will allow me to put bigger spacers.

I would go 20mm all around with rolled fenders for a almost flush fitment with no rubbing issues, and 25mm all around if you want to push it a little bit. I am 90% certain the 25mm will clear without rubbing, but without seeing this actual fitment before, it will be close.

You should go with 20mm all around. Judging by your choice of wheels, 25 will prob be too aggressive for you.

20 rear and 15 front! only cause it looks like you aren't running much camber!

20mm all around seems to be the popular vote.. do u guys think i would have rubbing issues with 20mm spacers if i did springmount mod in the rear?
