Good to hear about not needing to install toe bolt. I was hoping you would say that.

So what camber settings did you go with?

Can't wait for the Berk HFC paired up with Injen CAI on the Nismo CBE. Eventually I am looking at Fast Intentions exhaust and keep the Berk HFC.

Thanks

I can't find my alignment settings, I thought I put them in my iphone, but not there, and I can't seam to find the receipt either Oh well, I plan on getting it re-done after I get new tires on, probably next month.

F.I. exhaust looks and sounds great I"m 50/50 on the muffler design though. I've been working with Bryan over at Berk, so I'll be going with their system as soon as it's available. I plan on doing some independent dyno testing, etc., I'll post up some video once it's done, I think they are shooting for mid sept/oct for delivery.

Question 20mm spacers in the rear only with stock 19" Sport Wheels

Can someone please confirm that I can install 20MM ICHIBA, version 2
hubcentric wheel spacers on the rear only on my 2009 370z with 19" stock Sport Wheels with no modicifications at all. Will these 20MM ICHIBA, version 2
spacers fit with the stock studs without interferring with the stock wheels? Will the 20mm spacers on the rear only affect my 2009 370z ride quality at all? Please respond to anthony.russo@shearman.com. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks, Tony

I'm using the Ichiba V2 20mm front and rear with no issues, and I used my stock lugs. that's with the stock 19'' Rays

So you're saying the spacers with the built in bolts will work on the front too? Doesn't the stock bolt stick out too far and hit the back of the wheel when it's on?

Since they were installed for me, all they did was to bolt the spacers to the hub and put the wheels back on and used the stock lugs, V2 have no fitment issues like the V1 did. front and rear had no issues, and I have had no problems

Thanks, thats great news.............By the way, did the spacers affect the ride quality at all? Especially, since I want to install the 20MM ICHIBA, version 2
hubcentric wheel spacers on the rear only. Thanks again, Tony

First, the handling was about the same.
Second, the stance of the Z at distance is greatly improved. The Z should've had a stance like that from the beginning....

I have these springs but my wheels are 10mm farther out than your stock fronts and I have. 255/40. I rub the plastic where it bulges out at the front where the bumper bolts to the fender. But 265/35 just over 26" and my fronts are a huge 27.1" diameter. So I think you would be fine from the most part. The negative camber will help suck the wheels in too. I only rub on big dips at speeds over maybe 40mph.

What are your tire sizes? I assume you want the spacers for looks and not any handling improvements (which will be minimal).

So what "look" do you want? Do you want them flush or kind of flush?

Also what are your camber specs front/rear? I would say regardless of tire size or camber specs you can easily go out 5mm front/rear, but there is definitely room for more...easily.
