I don't think they are. I have zero room in between my caliper and wheel as it is and we have the same wheels. From the wheel to caliper I'd say I have maybe 3/8th room.

I have been using Enkei PF01 in 18 x 9.5 ET35 and 265/35R18 R-specs for the last 2+ years, with a 25.4mm spacer on the rear and a 12.7mm spacer on the front. I'm not able to exploit a wider rim given our category rules in "Modern Sports Cars".
Spacers are machined concentric to the hub and the 75mm centre-bore of the Enkei wheel and since I used ARP 75mm extended studs I also torque-up the spacer onto the ARP studs and then the wheel also. This does give a slight risk of a stress riser on the ARP studs with torque reversal between braking and power-down but the length of the studs exposed to torque reversal is modest because we machined the spacers to ensure that the nuts securing the spacer are only 40/thou below the spacer face that the wheel seats to. Even so, I am not a big fan of spacers, so I've lifed the studs to 100 track days/competition events which at my rate of competition in the Z34 is 4 years. |

I would actually be interested in getting a set of those double ducted backing plates as well. Group buy from the race team fab shop??? heh
BGTV8, would you mind explaining your last post a bit more? I just ordered a set of 18x10 +34 F14s and plan on running a small spacer in the rear, perhaps 10 mil. I have not done the spacer thing before. Best option? Doing research, just looking for opinions also. I think the answer to this would be of benefit to people reading this thread so not making a new one at this point. Last edited by ValidusVentus; 07-17-2014 at 11:39 PM. |

1. Spacers that come with their own studs - use the OEM studs tro snug-down the spacer to the hub, then use the studs on the spacer to fit the wheel to the spacer. Porblem with these is that "if" the nuts securing the spacer to the OEM studs come loose, you can lose a wheel worst case, or get a bad vibration at best. 2. Spacers that are not fixed to the hub at all - there is a photo earlier in this thread showing such a spacer on one of the Doran Z34 race cars 3. My style of spacer ... spacer does not have additional studs ... simply fit the spacer to the hub over the extended studs, and use lug nuts to secure the spacer to the hub via the extended length studs (ARP 75mm long in my case), then put the wheel on and use another set of lug nuts to secure the wheel to the same stud that secures the spacer to the hub. If the spacer nuts come loose, then the wheel cannot come adrift ..... Sorry, but I don;t have any photos, and a picture would be worth 1000 words in this circumstance. Hope this helps clarify my original post. If you do not have extended studs, then you will have to use option 1 or 2 above. |

One of the bonuses of the cheap Forgstars is that they're made-to-order and you can spec whatever offset you like. |

over steer with stock tire setup
Will the square setup help with oversteer?
The front turns in nicely but rear seems to come round pretty fast. Not really interested in spinning out in traffic. So have been careful. |
