I have the sport wheels and like to push it out a little more for a flush look but too nervous of the draw backs. I understand that it would be better to buy a new set of wheels that have a better offset for a flush look but no $ at the moment

For those who are using stud replacement spacers on their Z, I desperately need your feedback on this cuz I'm nervous of having to replace my bearing hubs. Thanks so much!!
well, if that's the case then any aftermarket wheelset that fits the wells correctly ("fits nicely" i should say) will cause bearing failure. that's not the case.

if you're going to stick with the stock ride height, go with below:

front 15mm (stud replacement type)
rear 10mm (stud replacement type)

This will keep your wheels slightly tucked in for a clean look, but with a more aggressive stance than no spacers. you dont want to get big arse spacers unless you're going to lower your ride.
