Hi there

Now i see...comparing my pictures of my Z to his. Its muuch lower... :S I have done what you told me, reinstalled everything with a load on a spring, torque everything as per manual. It changes a little bit. Here the results.

Here some pics of my Z and on the picture I have a 5mm spacer on the rear. Can't put a 10mm with the factory studs but 5mm is perfect for my taste. If I can have this front a little bit inside the fender that will be great or put a 10mm on the rear...or A-arm? What do you think?

3rd picture is the kind of spacer I have on the car right now

Tks! :tiphat:
That front looks like it has lots of -camber and is set in. I don't see anything remotely close to poke in the slightest. If anything I'd want to get proper A arms and pull some of that -camber out.

If that's "too much outside" then you have wheel fitment completely ****** up in your head

thats a super conservative fitment

and from everything you said its not even rubbing (which it shouldn't)

that fitment is all wrong, and its not because its "too far outside." its the opposite. sunk as hell, basically its good for nothing

even track guys are running more aggressive fitments with more tire and camber

street stance running even more aggressive and lower

what you have is just . . . vanilla placeholder till someone puts a better set up on it

jchammond 03-15-2017 03:44 AM
+34 (+ or - 1mm) would have been even fitment for you.....not aggressive wheel you have; but you don't like any poke.
unsure if you can machine own backside of mounting face; may have to put 15mm spacer's out back to even up w/front.

jchammond 03-15-2017 04:14 AM
Different Strokes for Different Folk's,,,but if your camber is close to the same (F/R) then your front-spacing will be 1" less than rear...car's are built that way.
example for 9/10.5 stagger (+32F/+25R=3.75/4.75" front spacing)(+25/+19=4/5" front spacing)(+19/+12=4.25/5.25" front spacing...etc....)
You are at [+20/+27=4.24/4.68" front spacing; rear's are sunk .56" or 14.22mm more than front.

sounds good. id get 10mm for da rear and you should be fine. if u can find a front splitter dat wiil lessen da poke look on da front but not needed. with a 5mm spacer u can usually get away without changing studs but i recommend u use steel lugs (Muteki)

That's exactly what I have as steel lugs. :) I will wait for the first drive in 2 weeks and I will came back with more pictures when the suspension will be settle and alignment done.

Tks for all your replies! :tiphat:

Little question, I don't know if it can be that....is it possible that my brake disc in front is thicker so my wheel poke out more than it should? For sure the drop on the car have an effect.

Dallaz Z is stock camber and 1.2 in drop so same as mine but I have not ride the car yet...I will let suspension settle a bit and put 10mm spacer on the rear and see what are the results.

I let you guys know! Tks

Yes, the rotors have a slightly different shape from the rear to the front. I'm having this issue as well as my wheels have a lip and my front wheels hit the caliper, rears are fine. Running 9.5 front 10.5 rear both +22 offset. Have 20mm spacers on front and am clearing the caliper but my wheels now poke. Just have to live with it or get new wheels like the other gents said. Good luck :driving:

DAFUQ? :icon14:

What are you trying to say? Are your rotor aftermarket and you think the hats are too thick? You chose the wrong offset wheels and by Z standards it doesn't poke as you say it does.

OptionZero 03-15-2017 01:37 PM
i think we have identified the problem

it is not the wheels
it is not the car

CCastro 03-15-2017 01:41 PM
Dude... throw the rear spacer on, get an alignment, call it a day.

for u, run more neg camber up front (a-arms) and get some nismo fender fare pieces. dat is an easy and quick way to lessen da poke.
