Question XXR 521 rims need spacer help

PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi i just purchased some 20" Staggered Flat Black XXR 521 rims. Bolt pattern 5-114.4/120. 20x8.5 offset +32 (front) & 20x10.5 offset +30 (rear) with Falken FK-452 Tires 245/35/20 (front) & 285/30/20 (rear). I have a 2009 370z coupe base model. So my question is, what is the best measurement of spacer should i get installed?

If you're running stock height or have a mild drop (less than 1"), you could use 15 to 20 mm spacers up front and 20 to 25 mm in the rear.

Personally, I would do 20mm front and 25mm rear.

First off thanks for the reply(:

So exactly the way i have my rims and tires set up on stock height with 20mm up front and 25mm on rear would be ok? And what would be the best brand of spacers?

hummm.. at stock height i would go no spacer upfront and 15mm spacers on the rear.

depending on your wheel's disc design if it has voids between the lug bores you can use the V2 type Ichiba spacers or Kic's. If no voids, then you can use the stud-replacement type spacers.

your wheels are lug centric so no need for centering rings if you dont have the budget to get them for the Kics. For the Ichiba v2, they come with the rings.

hope this helps.

I have H&R spacers (DRS = longer replacement studs included). They are hubcentric. You should find them trouble-free.

No to both questions. With 10 and 15 mm you'll still be slightly inside the fenders. Spacers will not raise the suspension height.

Looks like they will be pretty close to the same overall diameter as OEM, but you'd have to refer to a tire manufacturer spec sheet or use a tire calculator to check the tires' overall diameter to find out for sure.

Should not raise it at all. The tire sizes you picked are good.

20 and 25 might be too much. Just get everything except for the spacers
then when you have it all installed
take a measuring tape
and see how big of a spacer you want to run.

Based on all the specs you stated in this post and your first post (offsets), you shouldn't rub when lowered and using the 20/25mm combo. But if you want to play it safe and go a little on the conservative side and get 15 mm front and 20 mm rear, you will FOR SURE not rub the fenders.
