Needing Help with Wheel Spacers!!!!
 

Last week I lowered the Z (SWIFT Springs & SPL Rear Camber Arms Kit) and was wanting to get some Wheel Spacers to kind of make the look of it pop out.
Also which brand is the best to go with.

What mm size would be good for our Z's?

I used H&R 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers when I was lowered on Swift springs and running the OEM wheels. This is what it looked like:

All I see is a x with a white box around it lol
Maybe its the computer I'm on. I'll have to take a look once I get home! :)
Do wheel spacers change any performance of the car? Wasn't going to go with spacers but after getting it lowered, I need something to make it stand out haha

There's no performance impact. And I second 20/25mm.

I have 20mm all around with swift springs, very happy with the look.

It does change the steering somewhat. I'm running 20mm front and 25mm rear, HR Springs. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but steering feel is definitely different. Stiffer, almost.

Thanks for everyone's advice! :)
I may just go with 20mm all around to keep things even lol (My OCD)
So which brand is the best in quality? (Don't mind spending a little more for a longer lasting part)

I used to have 20mm all around with my stock wheels and swift springs and wish that i had gotten the 20/25 setup. The rears IMO need the 25 to match how the front looks as far as wheel poke. I also had the H&R Springs brand without stud replacements.

HR Springs seem to be the most popular (hub-centric design is a must) but people here are also happy with Eibach.

Hey man! Check out our deal on a set of Project Kics 20mm/25mm Combo set:

I just took my set of 20/25mm Z1 spacers off my car when I put my GTR wheels on... if you're interested I'd love to get them off of my toolbox :tup:

PM sent!

By moving the wheel 20mm to the outside of the car you are changing a few things:

(1) Scrub radius: Under braking, the front wheels will tend to react stronger to any grooves in the pavement and you will need to make more corrections to brake straight.
(2) Wheel rate (spring rate at the wheel) is reduced a little (softer). Since the tire is extended 20mm out, it has a little more leverage on the suspension.
(3) It is harder on the front hub bearings, but will take a while to show up.

I think it is a high price to pay for your tires to be more flush with the fender, but I am old. :)

I have Volks TE37sl 19x10.5 +22 with 25mm H&R Trak spacers in the rears.
Car is lowered on Swift springs and im also running 305 / 30 / 19 tires with no rubbing at all.

Fronts are 19x9.5 +22 with 20mm H&R Trak Spacers with 255 / 35 / 19.
no issues at all.

Spacers will change the scrub radius. That's the difference between where the king pin axis and the tire center touch the ground. The closer the better. I don't know if the Z tire point is inboard or outboard of the king pin axis point.

And I wish I had read the entire thread before posting this...
