15mm DRM front spacers don't fit?

scgolfer7 · 03-27-2013, 12:54 PM

So 20mm front and 25mm back is the way to go? I'm about to pick some up along with Swift Springs, wanna keep the Sport rims for now,

That's what I have and I'm glad I went with them. Nice aggressive look.

Lowered on TEIN S-Tech springs:

Here are a couple more pics before I dropped it:

Tires are 255/40 front and 285/35 rear. I'm actually selling the tires and spacers as I have new shoes going on with different tires & spacers.

K, just reading all of this about spacers. Does anyone know if this is the same for the Nismo??

I ran DRM series on my G37 with no isssues, so I never would have suspected there to be a problem on the Z's.

I tried doing the 15mm DRM's on the front and the 20mm DRM's on the rear...yep, the front I'm getting vibrations.

Now, my distributor just sent me Ichiba series 2 15mm as well, but I have a feeling I'm going to run into the exact same issue?

N'M...just got my answer on the Ichiba site.

"10mm and15mm Bolt-On Wheel Spacers will not fit with front stock wheels for the 370Z. Only 20mm+ Bolt-On spacers will work. Only Ichiba Type 1 and H&R Type DRS Wheel Spacers will work for stock 370Z front wheels if you are looking for 10mm or 15mm wheel spacers. Ships in 24 Hours"

Just a word to the wise:

Some of us had issues doing bolt-on 20mm spacers for the front wheels. I had that issue. My stock studs stuck out just a tad from the spacer, and didn't let the wheel seat to the spacer.

I think the best option for the front wheels, if you are a DIY guy, is to do stud-replacement spacers for the front wheels.

I hate to bring this back from the dead but does anyone know if a 15mm DRM will work on the front with a 20x9 +35? The wheels are vossen cv5's. I have a 2015 Nismo

Thanks

If you have deep cavities behind the wheel where the stock studs would protrude from the bolt ons then yes. If there are non or they are not that deep then you will need 20mm.

Is this correct?
