Little question, I don't know if it can be that....is it possible that my brake disc in front is thicker so my wheel poke out more than it should? For sure the drop on the car have an effect.

Dallaz Z is stock camber and 1.2 in drop so same as mine but I have not ride the car yet...I will let suspension settle a bit and put 10mm spacer on the rear and see what are the results.

I let you guys know! Tks

Yes, the rotors have a slightly different shape from the rear to the front. I'm having this issue as well as my wheels have a lip and my front wheels hit the caliper, rears are fine. Running 9.5 front 10.5 rear both +22 offset. Have 20mm spacers on front and am clearing the caliper but my wheels now poke. Just have to live with it or get new wheels like the other gents said. Good luck

for u, run more neg camber up front (a-arms) and get some nismo fender fare pieces. dat is an easy and quick way to lessen da poke.

That just sounds like bad wheel choice.

DAFUQ?

What are you trying to say? Are your rotor aftermarket and you think the hats are too thick? You chose the wrong offset wheels and by Z standards it doesn't poke as you say it does.
