Since most of the comments are related to the USW Forged wheels on my 370Z, here is a thread I started regarding the stagger and fitment along with completed pics.

Sorry to hear about your damage OP, did you just damage the wing or did you damage the hatch too? You might be able to fix the wing if you send it to a qualified bodyshop

Don't feel bad, I broke a brand new LED taillight for my Z back in the day since I wasn't careful with the install and have since learned not to rush when I am installing anything. I now always use plenty of painters tape whenever installing anything on a painted surface and make sure to take my time

Yes painters tape is our friend. I did use painters tape and have no damage to the hatch so happy about that. Wow that would be great if the spoiler could be repaired! Just hate to break OEM stuff. Sorry to hear about the LED tail light. The good thing about posting failures is that others learn what not to do as shown in this thread. Teach and learn from this forum is just awesome. Really glad I joined.

I got mine off w/o breaking, but didnt use enough tape and mared the paint, argg. I also learned adhesive remover is harmfull to the plastic taillights, double argg. It's at the shop now getting springs, spacers and a new spoiler. Will post pictures and what I learned in detail later. Hint be very carefull if you use an exacto knife cut to cut through the double sided tape.

Depending how bad it is broken you might be able to fix it, might not be worth it since the OEM spoiler is pretty reasonable but I leave that up to you.

Might I also suggest using Goo-Gone and a hairdryer to remove adhesive in the future, I have used it in the past and it was easier to handle than WD-40 which I personally would never use on a painted surface.

No. Some people have issues, but I have never noticed any vibration with spacers. I'm running 15/20mm setup and I even track the car with the spacers. No issues.
