Sure it does. What wheel spacer you need might change with different diameter wheels. Which is pretty much exactly what the OP is asking. Stop filling this forum with your nonsense.

I apologize if it came off different.

Have you searched yet? Try using your favorite web search site and include "site:the370z.com" (without quotes) in your search string. You should be able to find the info you're looking for. Also, you're going to want to read up about offsets. Proper offsets can help you avoid the need for spacers in the first place

Changing the diameter of your wheels (from 19" to 18" for example) may necessitate a different spacer to ensure fitment (i.e. to make sure you clear brake calipers). Other variables that might also affect what size spacers to use, aside from wheel diameter, may include offsets and wheel spoke configuration.

Depends on the wheel design.

You are correct, in most cases, if the offset is the same going to a smaller wheel will not make the brakes rub on the front of the caliper, but shrinking the wheel may allow the spokes to touch the top edge of the caliper, because the spokes do not go out as far on the smaller wheel.

So you may meed a larger spacer on a smaller wheel to push the wheel out further to get the spokes past the point where they touch the caliper.
