15mm or 20mm spacers

Wondering if the 20mm Z1's will fit the fronts (sport). Guess I'll find out when they get here :/

I have z1 20mms all around on by base sport. They come with the extended studs so that make sit trickier to install than the shorter ones.

Can you elaborate? So you purchased the stud replacement spacers, right?

You are looking for aluminum alloy and CNC machined.

The aluminum alloy helps with strength and avoids it from fusing to either the steal rotor or the rim.

Then CNC machining is exact and balanced.

Some spacers are made from other materials and made differntly.

As for the Z1 product, I didn't buy them because they weren't on the market yet. I have not found a product that Z1 makes that wasn't of great quality. Z1's are cheaper in price than the H&R's but they seem to be made the same way and with the same materials. I still suggest the DRS for H&R or the the replacement studs from Z1.

In short

What are they made of?
How are they made?
Do they have replacement studs?
Are they HubCentric?
And What size do you want?

Another question would be: If they are lugcentric, do they have optional hubcentric spacers available (like the Project Kics)?

Would a 5mm or 10mm spacer warrant replacing the studs or can I just put the spacer directly on the stock studs?

5mm you maybe able to get away with but 10mm maybe pushing it. Think about this. The less threads you have left the less you have holding your rim on.

Anyone know if you can use H&R DRM 15mm bolt-on spacers with factory 18" rear wheels? Are there recessed portions like on the Sport rims?

What would be everything needed to do 20mm all around on the stock nismo wheels at stock height? I will be adding swift springs shortly after. Will a camber kit be needed with or without a drop if I go with spacers?

The reason I am asking, is casue i will need new tires soon and have decided to do it all at once.

^ 15mm all around on the Nismo wheels is optimal. 20mm make them stick out past the fender and depending on how low you go you can also rub unless you have a lot of camber. See HATED1's pics, he's on 20mm. Too much IMHO, 15mm is max.

Are these the volt on type, or the stud replacement type?
