if thats the lucky #, than i might go with that.. not sure if its worth it tho? bc 20-25 wont make it flush and not sure how much better it will look or not?

I saw a RWB Porsche cup car with 80mm spacers in the back last week. He's been racing for a couple seasons, so I guess it's fine.

Thank you, my point exactly.

You can't measure it. You need at add your wheel specs into an online calculator and then add what it will be with the spacer. That'll tell you your poke. Then you can measure or figure out if it'll hit the fender or such. I highly doubt unless you have a wide body a 45mm will work!

i got my stuff done at a reputable tire shop suggested by guys on here and plenty others, they said they did something along the lines of jacking something up and they measured the space between the tire side wall and fender and said 45 mm would be perfect and still give me room to play around without rubbing

everyones saying H&R spacers are really good

Zbrah 07-24-2016 08:49 PM

Zeetah 07-24-2016 09:20 PM

That's not a good way to do it. You need your offset and give it to us. It's really easy then!

im still a newb in aspects related to cars and this was another costly mistake, like some have stated, and if i knew i would have just bought different rims that were flush with the fender. im either going to get H&R 20-25mm (the size most Z owners have gone with) or i might just leave it as is. live and learn.. :(

thanks for all the feedback guys

Sounds like you have learned your lesson. It happens even to the best of us sometimes. Good luck with your build and future mods :tiphat:
