keng714, OT...but nice black out on the grill and rear difuser. That is the first thing I did back in March when I picked up mine. Looks like it's catching on all over.

I have always liked H&R product. :tup:

Thanks guys for keeping this thread alive. I hope to pull the trigger on some spacers soon.

I am sticking with the rear 25mm ichibas, as they aren't causing my vibrations, but switching to the H&Rs up front. They are 15mm. I don't have the stock sport wheels though, I have the Nismo S-tune wheels, but they are the same specs.

well its not flush enough or low enough yet lol....... here was my car before the z

i went with the stud replacement, i had the version 2 on my lexus but never really trusted them.

bolt on in rear, stud replacement in front

Patiently waiting. Do they work? Got my hand on my wallet.

Yes, they do work! All vibrations are gone! wooo hooo! Now I can enjoy driving it on the street almost as much as on the track.

btw, anyone want a 15mm set of ichibas?

so what is the final consensus (sp) now?

20mm fit the front with slight rubbing on a decent drop
25mm for the rear no problem

?

right?

I only have 15s up front, but I am lowered and 25s are no problem in the rear. Can't speak for the front.

Great news. Whats the 15mm part#? If you dont mind. And where did you get them and how much.

H&R Wheel Spacers - specs and vendors
 

Good to hear that 25mm in the rear and 15 mm in the front works with no rubbing.

So the consensus is:



Lowered car
25 mm rear (only available as a bolt-on) Part # 5065662 DRM Series
DRM Series spacers bolt to the hub with existing wheel studs and special nuts (included). Wheel is bolted to new DRM wheel studs.


15 mm front (only available as a stud replacement) Part # 3065662 DRS Series
DRS Series spacers fit between the wheel and hub, and require exchanging the existing wheel studs for longer ones (studs are included).


H&R is the one to go with. H&R TRAK+® Wheel Spacers | Products || H&R Special Springs, LP

Note: the above bolt-on / stud replacement types are for H&R spacers only


Good prices from these vendors:
(look under 350Z they are the same bolt pattern as the 370Z)

Thanks keng714, Mike & antennahead ....good info :tup:

Holy moly, that is low! :tup:

Any vibration issues on the Z?

:tup: Hope my initial posts were of assistance. I agree with you, I think the deeper hub helps solve the problem, and the H&Rs are very well made.

John

definitely helped, thanks!!!!!

Ordered mine today.WooHoo!

Which ones did you order? :tup:

SOB... I need a vendor here who will ship to overseas, and accept paypal for the H&R spacers.

So the h&r's are better then the ichibas?

In my experience, they are.

you take care of the paypal fees also, and I will order you a set and then reship to you. PM me if you want.

I'm so confused, I'm planning on upgrading my tires to a bigger size but not sure if they will fit, don't know what size spacers to get, and I'm getting the eibach springs so I don't know if everything will fit right. :( Front: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW Rear: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

^Can someone give me some advice & guide a fellow 370Z owner in the right direction :)

The fronts will def. Be fine with a 15mm spacer. The rears will be 20 mm wider than the stock 275s, so that is like a 10mm spacer right there. I would suggest 15 front and rear

That's really nice of you! I will PM if I can't find any friends who are coming back here to help me buy and bring it back.

Cheers mate.

Hi Mike,

could I check with you if your H&R DRS included the extended replacement studs?

I'm planning to get 20mm all around!

yes they did come with the new studs too.

Hey Mike, got any pics of your rears with the 25mm? I am wondering how flush it looks. Did you know mention that you had Volks and they were the same spec as the Sport rims?

Thanks
Curtis

I have the accessory Nismo's which are the same as sport rims. I don't think I have a good closeup picture, and my car is currently on jackstands without wheels. When I get it back on the ground in a day or two, I will take a picture for you.

^ Thanks Mike, appreciate it. I have seen a pic with a 1.0 inch drop of 20mm with Sport Rim and tire 305/30/19 on minicobra' Z and they look good. I would not be stretching that size tire on a 10" wheel. Be looking either at stock 275's or 285's for replacement when the time comes.

Wondering if the 25mm spacers would still look ok without bulging the wheel or tire out of the fender?

Here's the thread with his pics.

Question: So how do spacers affect the dynamics of the car . .say for tracking purposes? What are the pros and cons of spacers - at least on the ride and for tracking?

Ordering a set of 15mm fronts too. Awesome thread, thanks guys.

Minicobra has some pics of his car right after he got it, with 15mm on the rear only, with the stock 19" Rays and 275s...... it looks good. Look at his older posts to find those pics or his album. Based on that, I think 20mm and an upgrade later to 285/35 will make you happy. When you see his older pics, think "5 more mm of spacer and 10mm of tire (5mm each side of the rim)".

So you still have bolt on (V2) in rear, stud replacement in front, right?

Again, what is the whole reason of not being able to put bolt on the front? Or was that only with the Ichiba spacers V2?

that is correct.

you can put the bolt on kind on the front, you just need someone to hold the brakes while you torque them down. The other problem is that unless you go with 25s, the stock lugnuts stick out farther than the spacer. If your wheel has a relief hole, its not a problem, but the nismo ones I have don't and the wheels cant touch the hub with less than a 25.

And, I understand the other issue with less than a 25 is the spare won't clear if you have a flat.

Support forum vendors guys, Stillen sells these for a very competitive price to what has been posted on here so far. That's where I got mine :)

Okay I have looked at the pics of the 15mm with stock 275 rears and again the 20mm with 305/30 and tried to picture a 20mm with 275/35 or with a 285/35 and you are starting to convince me.

What is holding me back is that on my previous 350Z I had a reputable shop that had done a lot of fender rolls and spacer installs for several car brands and they took measurements and flat out said 20 mm for the rear on stock rim and stock tire size. Well when all was installed they said Oh You Could Have Gone to 25mm with that camber. So you know where I am coming from.

With the 25mm, they are bolt on type so I can sell them if they are too large. The 20mm are stud replacement type and they can only be used once. Take em off and you have to trash the studs and buy new studs at about $50 for a set. So if I go to small (20mm) then I am hosed on any resale if I want to go larger (25mm). Just the opposite if I start out large (25mm - bolt on type ) and they don’t fit or over extend past the wheel, further outside the wheel well than desired, they can be re-sold with out incurring any additional cost to the buyer.

I have to pull the trigger soon before my super sale price expires with a vendor. I wish Mike had his wheels mounted back up.
