H&R 15mm spacer intall front and rear
 

I installed my H&R spacers saturday night. took a lil longer than i expected but an easy mod non the less.

Im dropped on Tein springs giving me about an index finger thickness from top of tire to the bottom of the fender. My rear tires are 305/30/19 and with -2 degrees of camber they fit perfect! The fronts are the factory advans and they rub every so slightly against the top plactic tab. Once I bend it up and move the fender liner a bit it will be perfect.

Can I run fatter tires up front? prob. Fatter in the rear, no!

enjoy!

Those turned out good bro. Im thinking about goin to 15mm now. I really want a set of aftermarket wheels. Just so expensive.

i want to paint mine bronze like the TE-37s. ill be happy with them after that. ;)

Looks great!

thx guys

awesome. i will be ordering 15mm H&R as well once i get my tax return :D

otherwise..you're still running the stock tire widths in the front correct?

looks good man! bronze would look awesome imo :tup:

Save your money. I have a little shake in my steering wheel from my spacers. Some guys have no problem. Good luck either way.

what kind of spacers did you purchase? are your wheels properly balanced?

Possible to take a couple pics of it further back showing the full back? Thanks

Also nice setup. :tup:

you should look into why that is happening. that could be a huge problem.

Running same set-up as you, Tein springs with 15mm H&R spacers all around on Nismo wheels!

awesome!!! what size tires?

OEM yokohamas, but I guess I'll upgrade em to 275s, 305s when it'll be time

good job! :tup: looks perfect.

Wow, I'm totally jealous! The wheels/stance is perfect....yes, yes, yes.

I've been looking at spacers/offsets for the last few days. This thread is perfect timing for me. So I appreciate the post. I have been on the fence about spacers for awhile. I've done them before, just didn't know if I wanted to do it again. I keep reading about people using ARP or Nismo studs for the strongest studs possible. I don't know if this is necessary or not depending on what brand spacers I get (if any).

So these are 15mm with the extended studs, correct? Also, what is your front camber?

I'm calculating that if I run a 5mm F / 10mm R, I would have my wheels sitting to the outside like yours.

The main difference for my car is that I've got my rear camber at -1.4 F / -1.2 R. I'm not sure if a front camber kit is in my future unless SPL releases a 370Z kit. I have 19x11" and 305/30 like you.

It's obvious that a 10mm would work for the rear. I have less camber and more tire stretch being on 11". But I'm wondering if 15 would be too much...another 5mm past what you have.

What are the best spacers to run? Does it hinder the structural integrity of the wheel?

Looks good! I will be doing the same to mine.

Just wondering, does the car feel weird with different tires (front/back)? Where did you get the hankooks? how much? Thanks.

you can barely feel a difference on the street with the different brand tires. the rear tires are a tad thinnner than the factory advans. that i dont like. i want meat back there!

my camber with just the Tein springs put my rear at the max camber acceptable for a nismo at -1.9/-1.7. the front was considerably out of factory spec with no adjustment available. SPL said they are still working on the front camber kit...... :\

with the spacers im sure its worse. the front feels as if camber has increased. the car wants to dart into corners. great for turns shitty for DD driving.

i used H&R spacers with the supplied longer studs. everything was very high quality. easy install too.

Thanks for the update. I contacted SPL as well on the front camber kit and got the same response. The spc and kinetix front kits don't look safe at all. Im at -1.4 front camber, so im in spec...but unwanted factory front camber around -0.6 for tire wear....I don't track my car. Im going to hold off on spacers until I get front camber kit because I know new front arms will push the top of my wheels out almost flush....if not flush. I think I ultimately want -0.6 F / -1.6 R camber settings similar to stock. Then I'll look into spacers and decide what I need....then realign again since I have a 3 year custom alignment warranty.

Your car looks great, and all the specs you are posting is really helpful to people like myself.

Looks good, I've been running 20mm H&R's for nearly 3 years without incident. :tup:

I assume you have the bolt on style then? And this is on a 370Z right?

^^ :yum: looks good. great job :tup:

Perfect offset. Well done, OP.

I was wondering why you had rubbing in the front, then I realized that you have Nismo wheels. The wheel is 1/2" wider than the sport package wheel and already has 7mm more offset, so simply going from the sport package to the Nismo is like adding 13.35mm spacers. So with your setup, it's like having 28.35mm spacers on a non-Nismo car.

FYI, for anyone interested in the H&R spacers, if you want to save yourself some hassle go with the bolt-on ones in the rear and the stud replacement ones in the front. The front wheels won't clear the bolt-on ones. That's the setup I have and it works great, no vibration.

yes you can do that Jessobear, but i wanted the strongest lightest setup and replacing the rear studs with the proper longer ones is best. the process was no harder than removing the huge front calipers! 22mm bolt heads!

thx man!:tup:

Well done and unlike me you did it yourself! + Rep

Looks good bro, I was wondering were you driving on FM 1488 yesterday I saw a white Nismo and could have sworn it looked just like this because of the way you have your front plate.

I am looking into getting 15mm Front/20MM rear, but keep reading about vibration. Can anyone enlighten me here. Is there vibration from Spacers. Or is it specific to the brand of spacer. Thanks for the helpful information.

did you install camber kits after you dropped your car?
