Hi ZForce,
I finally got around to adding the 20mm spacers to the fronts.
It has also been lowered with Tein Springs and the actual drop is [.9 inch] in front, [.8 inch] in the rear. Same tires HandKook, model, VENTUS V12, Fronts 255/35/19, Rears 305/30/19. There is no rubbing with or without the spacers. The reason I added the spacers were for two reasons, a wider stance front & rear but more to increase the distance from the spider of the wheel mag from the front large calipers. One day after I recover from all my savings which has been poured into the Z I would like to find some wheels with nice offsets to get the lip. The wheels I want but can't afford are the "WORK Gnosis GS2" seen in this post.

I personally do not notice the change with the understeer.

Here are some updated pics.

Eventually down the road maybe a year or two I am considering new wheels Rear (19 x 11) with a tire size of 315 but need to research who is running these and what their experience has been.

^ Nice combo and lub the Work wheels. The stance is a bit wider in the rear than what I went with... good to hear there is no rubbing. Pics?

update? pics please? I just bought swifts also with 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers on sport rays, will like to see if I can also go with 255 and 285 rear

Will see if I can find a pic, it's been awhile since I shot the car. Congrats on the Swifts, you will like the stance and how they handle, they just want to dig in more the harder you push them in a corner.

You should have no rubbing issues at all and I would suggest going 265/35 in front, the ratio is closer to stock.

A few pics with wider tires on stock 19 sport wheels.

RE11's Fr 265\35 & Rr 285\35 (section width difference = 0.79)
OEM 245/45 & 275\35 tire section width difference = 1.18
255/45 & 285\35 section width difference = 1.18 (no tires available in this combo size)

20/25 mm spacers
Swift springs
