what size spacers

mz3035 · 03-25-2012, 11:44 AM

I just recently got my rims put on. They are Vertini Drift 20x10.5 in the rear +30. I am still at the stock ride height for now. Probably going with Swift spring and a rear camber kit. I do think the the rear appears to stick out less than my fronts. I do want a more flush fitment in the rear but still being practical at the same time. Does anybody have any idea on what size spacers i should get for the rear? I was thinking 10mm but not too sure.

Nice looking rims.

I'd do a 20 in the back.

You could go up to a 30mm spacer and have the same outer position (10.5 +0 in the rear) as this Z:

Thanks for all the feedback. I am def. trying to keep it practical with a smaller chance of rubbing in the roughing roads. I think 20mm might be a little too flush for me. Plus i want to go DRS. 15mm might be the perfect size

If lowered 20 should look good.

Get a tape measure and measure it. Also if these are new wheels why not order the proper offsets in the first place? Unless you bought them used then I will stfu.

I got the wheels because I love the Volk GTS and they really resemble the look but I am not willing to spend 4k on wheels. They werent aggressive in a more aggressive offset and spacers are cheap, so no biggie.

If your dream wheels are Volk GT-S, browse the "other" Z forum long enough and you can find a bunch of sets being sold in the low $2k mark. That's probably just a few hundred above how much those Vertini's sold for brand new.

+1 for 20mm.. will be perfect especially if you are lowered
