Wheel spacers

doodleson · 03-07-2011, 09:26 PM

Hey guys, I was thinking of putting some wheel spacers on my Z and was wondering what size I should go with as well as what it would look like before/after. Any pictures and advice would be awesome, thanks!

Really? How about you just enjoy the car first? You don't need spacers for stock wheels.

Search for the thread by minicobra. His car looks great with spacers and the stock Sport Package Rays wheels.
The stock offset puts the wheels pretty far under the fenders. A slightly more flush appearance is desireable and a wider stance doesn't hurt.
I have spacers, too.

Go here: 15mm Spacer installed (Rear)

Welcome to the forum. Please test out the search function. There are countless threads about wheel spacers, many of them still in the first few pages of the 'wheel and tires' section.

i put 20mm on all 4 corners, but please search for pictures. there are tons of them.

On the third day he rose up began to start a new thread, but then used his brain and the search feature. Give it a try, you might like it.

Many people run 15mm up front and 20mm in the rear with stock wheels and stock height. That's what I'm currently running too. Some have run 20mm/25mm. Sometimes, it's subjective on what people think is flush or too aggressive. You'll have to go through some members' pics to decide for yourself. Sorry, I don't have any pics of the car with just spacers before it was lowered to show you.

I have pics of before/after 20/25mm but I'm not putting them in your STUPID REPOST THREAD YOU DUMMY

No, but really. There are a lot of threads on this

I think we scared him off, but if he can't take a little teasing/search directions. He would have never made it in the premium section.

kenchan · 03-08-2011, 02:13 PM

he only has 4 posts since Jan 2011, so it could be that he's too busy to check up on his question??

KaienZ34 · 03-08-2011, 02:53 PM

hmmmmmm, could be

doodleson · 03-09-2011, 11:31 PM

Sorry, it just took me a while to get and my apologies for being a noob. I will search for this stuff thanks.

KaienZ34 · 03-10-2011, 12:04 AM

Thanks, you will fit in just fine in that case.
