Default Nismo 370z Wheel Spacers

I need some help with this from anyone knowledgable... I have a nismo Z and just installed 25mm H&R Trak+ wheel spacers front and back. I did 25mm because the guy at stillen told me that was the widest i could go and I figured wider is better. After the install and looking them over there is no rubbing when the steering wheel is turned or while driving however on all four corners the wheels pertrude the wheel wells by a substantial amount and am not sure if thats how it is supposed to look or not. Do i need coilovers or some other suspension upgrade for these to sit down in the wheel well properly? If not I almost think the stock setup looks better... just wondering if im missing something here, thanks.

You got The wrong size spacer. This nismo wheels have a different offset from normal 370z. You're going to have to lower the z to tuck in the wheels. You should of measured the space between wheel and fender before buying.

Got some pics?

I did 15mm all around with the Sport package wheels, and that was about the limit for the rear at stock ride height and -1.6 rear camber. If the Nismo wheels have a lower offset than the sport wheels then they are already going to be more flush with the fender and so 25mm was probably a little too much.

You won't be able to detect rubbing against the wheel arch until the suspension is fully loaded.

Nismo wheels are wider so they extend out more than stock 19" rays so 25 is way too much. Get 10-15.

Someone with Nismo wheels already got them installed, do a search.
