Wheel Spacer Indecisiveness!!

370SteeZ · 01-18-2012, 09:26 PM

After lowering my car on H&R springs a few months ago, I right away knew I needed spacers for my car. A popular choice was 25R/20F, but i've noticed that it doesn't push the wheels out as far as I want them to. Keep in mind, I'm running stock wheels & rims. I've read around the forum that with 20mm & 25mm spacers in the front, the tires will rub the fenders, but I don't find that to be a very big deal. I'm just hoping that the spacers don't make the car's stance look awful.

Basically, I'm just really looking for photos of any of your guys's Z's who are running either: 25mm in the front AND/OR 30mm in the rear (With stock 19" rims)!

It'd be greatly appreciated!

Here's mine with 15/20 and stock 19's. I could have gone 20/25, but anything beyond that would have been sticking out too far IMO. With my Nismo Rims, the 15/20 is as far as I would want to go.

You will come to find rubbing to be a very big deal.

20/25 if you want a good look without nasty rubbing. 25/30 if rubbing isn't going to drive you nuts.

I suggest H&R spacers. PM me if you want pricing.

370Ztune · 01-19-2012, 06:28 PM

20/25 for no fender mods. 25/30 if you're willing to roll your fenders.

Project Kics are the way to go for a really high-quality spacer that's meant to take abuse. (they're used on race and drift cars in Japan extensively)
