I heard you shouldn't need spacers. They really are there just to get rid of the sunken in look from the smaller tire, but if you don't care (like I'm sure most of us driving the Z in the snow including myself), then you shouldn't need to worry about it.

"Winter"? I figure I'll stay on the stockers this year then get a proper summer setup next year and keep the base wheels for winter again. Luckily it doesn't really snow here so I should be fine on the summer tires.

Yea I'm thinking purely cosmetic reasons. I'm a spacer noob so I was just wondering what I should get to get rid of that sunken look
