You seem to have missed a few details along the way

To swap out the fronts for another rear set?

At minimum

And you shouldn’t need extended studs for bolt on spacers, that defeats the purpose of them being bolt on

As I said, my fronts are slip on with extended studs and rear are bolt ons.

You'll be fine. You're not helping performance any. Your front tire sidewall will look like a bubble, especially so with certain tires. Better than stretched IMO. Get proper sized tires for your wheel width if you want to improve handling characteristics.

Agreed. I may just get 265 35 up front and keep the 275 35 for the rear or sell it. Its brand new 🤷*♂️
Thank you

Anyone know where I can order just the lugs and (flush-mount) nuts for 20 mm bolt-on spacers? Like a dummy I ordered 12 x 1.5 thread pitch instead of 12 x 1.25. The billet spacer section should be fine, but let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks!

So...... I am running the stock 19” Rays on my Z. From what I am reading here
20mm front and 25mm rears will get me a flush fitment correct?
I am also running stock tire sizes. I want flush no poke!

Nice write up. It didn’t answer my question though.

I’ll wait for a simple answer.
Someone here is likely running 20mm and 25mm spacers. I am sure they will chime in.

Thanks though.
