What problems can be caused by spacers?
 
Hello all,
I still waiting for my car and I get it with 35 mm spacers on all wheels, what damage can a spacer do? Do you think I should use those spacers only on the rear wheels?

Thanks!

35 is A LOT... Too much to be honest.

Number one concern is wheel wobble if they aren't installed correctly

Well I know its alot but this is how I bought it.. I guess it installed correctly cause it was a personal car of a Nissan's dealer in Germany...

If the Z has the Rays wheels, 35 is too much. But yes, just like what DEpointfive0, wheels might wobble if the spacers are improperly installed. Worst case is your wheel (with the spacers) will come off.

Ok, worst case is you might die.

I'm running 20mm front and 25mm rears and they're pretty flushed. I could go 25mm all around, but 35mm will be too much without a bigger drop and more camber.

Does it have aftermarket wheels?

And maybe 35 in Israel is like American 25? Lol

DinT 10-29-2013 08:39 AM

Nope.. The 19" Rays.. lol 35mm is 35mm everywhere... beside.. my car is coming from Germany haha...

cant you potentially break wheel studs if they are stock during hard cornering??

(Sorry if this joke hits close to home... Considering you ARE in Israel)

But maybe the Germans lie about the size because they don't want to give up control? they ARE German after all...

DEpointfive0 10-29-2013 09:06 AM

Honestly, 35 won't fit without MAJOR camber
