Default wheel spacers?
would 25 mm wheel spacers look good with 27/45/17 tires on the back of a 97 z that is black?

depends on the wheels offset. when i have 17x9 or 17x9.5 wheels I run 1 inch spacers on the rear. the offsets usually range from 50-56.

I've bought spacers from "ezaccesory" before. and he ships FAST. 1 inch spacers will give you the look you want.
