Spacers

Zerafian · 07-21-2009, 11:38 PM

So it took the dealership over 2 hours to install those...DAMN!

They only have the version where you have to place extended studs in??...I figure there are spacers out there you that have studextension already on them...just like every other spacer out there. *Shrugs*

According to this post below the bolt patterns are the same as the 350z...you and every other 370z owner can get spacers just like the pic below up to 30mm if thats the case :/...Only takes about 10 minutes a tire to install if you have a torque wrench. I suppose the only question is, will they fit the hub and if so are there hubcentric rings to fit in :dunno:

FAQ: Please read this before asking a 370Z related question

They are hubcentric to both the wheel and the hub.

can someone please explain from a spacer standpoint, what exactly must the spacer look like physically in order to be considered "hub-centric"? What would a non-hub-centric spacer look like?

Hubcentric spacers are machined to fit the hubs precisely on the hub side and the center bore on the wheel side. Sometimes they are machined in one piece, sometimes, like the Ichiba, 2 pieces.

Hubrings

Type 2

Type 1 mounted

So its that separate hub-ring part that makes the differences since it acts as the connecting interface between the wheel hub and the actual spacer ring?

Mod.. I saw on your DIY you went 15mm on both front and back, any reason you didn't go 20mm on the rear?? Am close to ordering these.. definitely 15mm for the front, but have seen 15 and 20 on the rear mentioned here...just looking for some additional input before dropping the wallet.

Thanks
