Winter Tires and Wheels

gmr19

Nate23, I have 15mm Type 2 spacers on the rear Sport wheels currently. Do you think the F10 wheels would fit with these? I know the nuts protrude since the spacer is only 15mm thick, but was wondering if there are recesses in these wheels like the OEMs?

I have no idea if that would be an issue or not. I don't recall if the wheels had the recesses or not...it never crossed my mind to check. Wish I had a pic of the inside of the wheel, but won't be able to get one until spring.

This is the first time I've used or ever even looked into getting spacer's on a car so I don't know if its standard that wheels have those recesses or not.

Hi GMR19, Just a guess but I don't think you will have enough clearance. The F10 has a fairly large cutout but it gets smaller as it moves toward the hub. I estimate that you need something in the range of 14mm.

Maybe TireRack can give you the cutout profile. I tried and failed to find the specs for the F10 wheel. Also, check the specs on your spacers. The Eibach Pro-Spacers are application specific so they give you a required cutout number based on standard 370Z lugs.

Hope this helps !

Hey gmr19, I took a closer look at the F10 cutout. It is difficult to measure with the wheel on but I stuck my calipers in there as best I could and came up with 11.75mm of clearance over the lug. Again, worst case I think you would need around 14mm. The 25mm Eibach Pro-Spacers were $129-ish from Summit Racing.


Here's a pic.
