I'd like to add some spacers but can't lower my car because of clearance issues getting into my driveway. It seems that most people are going with 20/25 spacers to get that flush look, which is what i want. Here's my question: I did a measurement using a weighted string on the fender lip and measured from the string to the edge of the tire. Both front and back measured approx. 9/16 in which is approx. 15mm. Big difference between 15 and 25mm. So, i guess you know my question. Are these spacers true to size? Not sure what size to go with at this point.

I didn't know too much about spacers until about a month ago, but I would think that since you're not lowering your Z you should go with 15mm front / 20mm rear spacers because you don't have the added negative camber to account for that you would with at set of springs/coilovers. I would imagine that 20mm/25mm spacers would cause the wheels (especially the rears) to stick out past the fenders, but I'm not certain since I've yet to see pics of a Z with spacers that's not lowered.
