For the rear I'm leaning at 15mm, but want to get a more accurate measurement before I pull the trigger. if feel like the perfect spacer for the rear would actually be about 17.5 mm haha

hey ZMan8, have you lowered your Z??

I am a bit bias to 15mm with my rims, I don't have the stock RAYS you know, but wanna see if kenchan's comments on the consideration I have on the 15mm.

Not yet, I plan to get Swifts + Koni yellows but figured its better to get spacers first than lower first (If i plan to do one a time)

In a year or two, I may just buy nice wheels with the correct offsets (it's just hard right now to justify spending $800-$1000 per wheel)

eh?

Oh ya, thats right alcheng, you have Vossen's right?

I was going to say for sure if its stock, I would do what I and LMBmikeZ suggested, 20/25 but with aftermarket, its trickier.

I see that z1 has like 3mm spacers you can add to a 10 or 15

no, it wont hit anything with 15mm (may be 20mm), just the matter of balance in appearance.

hi fire!

No poutine for me. I only work for money, beer, or car parts.

It looked like rain today so the Z stayed in the garage. I mudded the drywall in my basement instead. Tomorrow I'm planning on and oil change and swaybar install.

Hope everyone has a great weekend
