I ran them like that for a little while when I was trying to figure out if I was going to put the fronts on. I thought it looked ok, but I like my 20/20 better. I know I know, but I didn't take any

I'm running 20mm on the rear only. But it's due to my SSR wheels offset and running 265/305

for stock 19" wheels, if i was to do it again, i would probably do 15 front and 10 rear if stock height.

both will need to be stud replacement type.

if you're doing just the rear, the car will look odd even though your straight line stability will increase quite a bit.

Got any pics of your Z with the 25/35mm setup? Any issues? I've been wanting to try this out; seems I can go wider than the typical 20/25mm I'm running.

only issue was the Z1 spacers I bought for the front needed some thin walled socket to tighten them down. they said I shouldn't have gotten a set like that. they wanted me to take them off to check the nut size (i think) before they sent me new nuts, but i was like w/e it's ok. they told me to just buy a thin socket (i'm still not sure what size, just fond a standard socket in the garage; it worked)

handling feels different and feels better than stock definitely.

never any rubbing

Why did you go from 20mm on all four corners to just rear ?
Did you notice and handling differences ?
My issue is that Stillen says the bolt on H&R DRM won't fit
on front with stock wheels and I'm not interest in the long
stud set up due to PA inspection laws.
