I think you would be much happier with the fitment and look with the wheel gap gone. As for the vibration, that should not be happening. We have installed countless sets of wheel spacers and a vibration is not something that should have happened. I would check 1 of 2 things. 1st make sure the hubcentric rings were installed with the wheels. Otherwise there may be something off with the spacer install. Nonetheless, the wheels look amazing

I def. understand what you mean with scraping, when I was younger, I bottomed out my RSX but I had a very low drop it was like 2 inches. When I get my Volk's I'll prob. go with the Eibach kit.

LOL... okay. Man I was hoping I didn't need to drop my car like the 350Z. I'll look into getting a set of Eibach Pro set sometime next year.

As for tires, I may try to get 255/40 and 285/35... just a tad worried about the rear fenders.

The hub centric rings were initially installed on the wrong wheels. I told the installer two of each for the front wheels only, so he moved them over and tapped them in. Do you think the rings were in too deep?

We also just got some TEIN S-Tech's in as well. Let us know when you are ready, and Ryan can get a set out.

The hub rings sometimes need some persuasion to install, but as long as he installed one per hub, you should be fine.

I'll let you know about TEIN next year.

One per hub? I got 4 rings... thought I had to put 2 in each front wheel because of the spacers. Ruh oh... He tapped it in with a mallet, so I wonder if it's too deep or is normal. I'm going to have them retorque the wheels tomorrow. It's going to be ugly weather-wise later this week.

I think we found the issue

1 Per hub. Having 2 each in the front is what is causing your vibration. You need to fix that If you need new rings give me a call.

Oh crap...

Just to double-check, so even the rear wheels need the ring as well? This is how my installer had the first place, but I thought he got it wrong. Also, it has to go all the way inside?

The hub ring always goes on the hub. Some spacers are hubcentric and don't need the hub ring. It should be pretty clear. Either it fits or it doesn't. Call me or Ryan if w can clarify further.

POST #1 Revised with higher quality photos!

Ah okay I misunderstood the instructions since I never dealt with hub rings. I thought it was convenient to insert the rings into the wheel before mounting it.

I'll try to make an "emergency" appointment with my dealer tomorrow to get this fixed. [sigh]

Thanks again guys... beautiful aggressive wheels.

Just like my "snow pic" in another thread, the silver Z looks spectacular in a gray setting. And those wheels.....

I woke up around 7AM (whoopee for vacation haha) to make the "emergency" call to get everything fixed. I guess the front wheels don't need the hub rings due to the spacers. Casual drive is stable now with virtually no vibration, but I've not exceeded 45mph.

Haha thx... the paint has a nice "mirror" reflection unlike gunmetal. I'll probably consider dropping it the next time I get a new set of tires.

Thanks! Also thanks to my friend and his sweet Nikon 12MP camera (I'm not much of a camera guy so I stick to POS cameras lol). All that's left is a basic CF lip and rear valence to complete the "look."

Although it wasn't something I was aiming for (cmon, who wouldn't want these wheels for themselves? ), but the car is definitely turning heads.

I think the lip will really set the car off - infact I think every 370 should have a front lip, but that's just me! lol
