What did you do with your Z today II

Post drop with my Sport rims; 15mm front and 20mm rear.

My Nismo rims have a slighly more aggressive offset, and I find that the 15mm fronts just barely poke out from under the fenders. The 20mm rears stick out too far for my taste. Ken-san recommended 5mm to 10mm spacers for the rear, and after some time with a couple of rulers, I went with 10mm. The sweet spot is actually around 7mm, but I couldn't find any H&R DRS spacers that size.

To quantify what I did, I took a 36" level and placed it against the face of the front tire/rim and held it level, and then measured the distance to the edge of the fender. In my case, the front was 10mm. When I repeated the process on the back tire, the distance was 20mm, hence, I will put a spacer that is 10mm shorter than the current 20mm, or a 10mm spacer.

So, I'll have about 1/3 of the shoulder exposed from underneath the fender, but none of the tread. I know guys with 25MM on the rear wheels of their Nismos and they like the look. Again, it's all subjective and there is no right or wrong here.
