Which spacers to go with?
I have a 2018 ZCP f80 and I plan on getting spacers soon. I most likely won't lower the car so what would be a ideal setup to make the car have a more aggressive look without making it look odd?

For a complete solution get some slightly wider wheels and tires. Depending what wheels you have now you may also want to go with a plus one or plus two concept. Talk to a good wheel expert to assess your needs and desires. I would personally recommend elementwheels.com.
Just throwing some spacers on your current setup is not a good idea. You change the moment arm on the hubs adding torque and stress. You also mess up the scrub radius and can induce bump steer etc. Here is a handy calculator in case you find some wheels you like that don't quite have the correct offsets. That is the only scenario in which spacers are advised. https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ |

15/12 is a bit aggressive for ZCP, it may rub on spirited driving.

Hmm. I was under impression ZCP wheels where same size/offset, except diameter. I'm lowered and don't rub, so I may have incorrectly assumed a 20 will have no issue if a lowered 19 doesn't. In any case, OP definitely defer to the majority on this one considering I'm not on ZCP wheels, and I'm sorry for any bad info!

Thank you for the info everyone. I will most likely go with the 12/10 combo as it's the most idea without lowering. Anything bigger I will look into different wheels and springs.
