If you want your tires to last You have to get an alignment and get it close to oem settings. Mine is at oem or very close to it. Tires should last about 15k miles, have about 5k now, will report back in the distant future. I say lower it and get rid of the big wheel gap.

At 70 mph the steering wheel doesn't shake when I take my hands off of it. There are many z owners that use the version 2 spacers.
