Your aftermarket fronts will tuck in 21mm from stock. So you could use a spacer between 20mm for a stock look, up to 35mm with no clearance issues.

Rears:
They will tuck in 8mm. You can use a 10mm spacer for a stock look or up to a 30mm spacer to get them more flush.

The upper range of the spacers would rougly be equal to stock wheels with 15 and 20mm spacers on them.
Thanks a lot! Those seem like pretty big spacers. I've heard spacers are not good to use. That true?

Personally, I'd rather have a wheel with the correct offset than use spacers on my car. But that's just me.

I can't believe the difference in offset between the Z33 and Z34. Wow.

done correctly, they are fine. They will effectively add to the pad of the wheel, making them more like stock.

If you want to use those wheels, I recommend 20mm up front and 15 rear. You will probably have to use the kind that user longer wheel studs as your original studs would protrude with the bolt on kind.
