Ok, i test fitted some 30mm z32 calipers, and the dont quite fit. Im going to need a 10mm or 15mm spacer, prolly H&R. My question is, i need to get 4, even though the back wheels dont need spacing. It would be bad to increase the front track and leave the back unaltered? btw- wheels are TSW stealth, 16", offset unknown, shod with 225/50/16 tires.I need to go measure to get an exact number for the spacers. -Enzo

turns out its going to be a 10mm. so would it be ok to increase the front track 20mm and leave the rear alone? comments?-Enzo

I use spacers up front and none in the back--It doesnt creat any problems with the car tracking or anything like that--ill be putting spacers on the rear soon to give it an even stance, however, i would not get the universal tye spcers as they tend to shift and cause the wheels to be off balabce in rotation.

i checked the car today, and all 4 are dang near flush. i dont think i want to bother with putting 4 spacers on it. and only 2 in the front (each 10mm) would be fugly. looks like i might be selling my brakes, after i got them all ready to go. arghh!-Enzo
