Spacers on base wheels
 

I'm very undecided on my wheel choice right now so I'm rocking 18" base wheels (yeah, I know..).

I'd like to try to flush the wheels out a bit and wanted to ask you guys if it makes sense to buy spacers now or wait until I decide (and can afford) to drop the cash on new wheels.

I don't mind the look of the base wheels (wish they were black) but want the stance to be a bit more aggressive and flush.

Will also be lowering with swift springs as soon as corner1garage gets the shipment in.

I think 25's out back and 20's up front are perfect on base rims with swifts

Thanks RZ, do you have a preference for brands and a vendor? How much of a bitch are these to put on? I've honestly never done them.

I've not installed them on a Z, but they should be easy. The rears just bolt on, the front you will need to replace the studs. There's a DIY on here for that.


There's a lot of debate on which brands to go with. I ran Ichiba on my S with no issues, no experience with anything else.

I know some people have had issues with the HC ring breaking off on the H and R's.

Definitely post pics if you get it done. I might consider doing it too.

I have installed 20mm H&R Spacers all around with my base set up. Expecting my Swifts next week so as soon as I get them installed I will take some pics for your reference.

for 20+ mm you do not need to replace the studs on the fronts... Only for >20mm spacers as the wheels do not have the indentions for the original studs.

Here you go, pics as promised. 20mm spacers all around, Swift Spec-R, dropped on base wheels. Damn, I need me some real wheels soon...:ugh2:

Looks good :tup:

Thanks blades! :tup:

Awesome thread. Just what I wanted so I'm bumping for others. :D

i'm leaving 'em sunk-in; more motivation to get new rims.:p

does look much sleeker

Perfect set up right there! Nice!

I totally agree. :yum:

I just put mine on this weekend and I'm dropped on eibachs
