Cooltoy was pretty much spot on at the beginning. For Nismo wheels the most used set up is with 15mm all around. Some will go with 20mm up front for a flusher fit. For sport rims most go with 20mm all around and some will do 25mm up front. You should have no issues with rubbing or wheel alignment unless you go super low. For oem wheels, you really don't need to over think is as that territory has been covered in depth.

Ok so the z isn't very sensitive to the change then I take it? Some cars I know are especially sensitive to it, seems to be the lighter the car the more sensitive and with + having a non stable feel under braking I really don't want that while going into the turns trying to slow from 100+mph.

Those who have installed them is there enough room for the longer studs without having to pull the hubs?

Yes otherwise your wheels would be hanging on by a few threads.

Get H&R hub centric spacer and stud replacement. They are longer than oem and fit through the hub. Or you can buy some other kind of spacer and use APR long studs to replace the oem. I went with the former.

Right I understand the needing longer studs I just wanted to verify there is enough space between hub flange and bearing to fit the longer studs on the z? This isn't always the case and sometimes need to pull the hub from the bearing to replace studs. Making sure what I'm in for before I start the project.

I'd say.

If you search the diy section there is a thread on how to replace your wheel studs.

^^ I ran 20/25 H&R spacers a few years back and though I liked the look, it seemed 25 all around would've been better. Looking at your Z, 25mm on all sides really is the way to go.
