If you're getting wheels, ideally you would get some with the offset to acheive the level of flushness you'd like, instead of adding spacers to them. But this may only be possible if the wheel exists, or you're having custom wheels made, and can choose your offsets.
Here is a shot of wheels with the proper offset for the desired effect of "flushness". These are Volks GT30's. Have a look at the pictures on my profile page. I had these wheels made for me in 20 inch.

Here's my info on these... Front: 20" X 9.5" wide with +35 offset
Rear: 20" X 10.5" wide with +10 offset
My tire sizes where: Front 265/30/20 and Rear 305/25/20.

Thanks for the input in regards to replacing the studs. Nowi guess the only thing I need to find out is if H&R do 10mm drs for the 370? On the stillen site it matched a pair of 10mm drs but I'm not sure if this is right as I haven't seen anyone else stocking these for the Z? Can anyone shed some light on this? If there isn't any H&R 10mm drs, can anyone suggest amother brand?

Thanks

Is your car lowered? Do you rub with the 305 in the back? if not,how close is it to rubbing. Do you think it would rub with a +5 offset, all things being equal?
