Desperate for help with spacers

Nismo358 · 05-27-2014, 11:32 AM

Alright so I just recently dropped my Z34 Nismo on stance coils about 2 inches. Naturally the stock Nismo wheels have sunken in and I can't stand looking at them. I've been reading and asking people about their setups but still can't figure what size spacers I'll need. Does anyone have any suggestions or know what size they've ran on Z34 Nismo wheels? I don't want to rub every time I go over a bump. Current I'm running 245/40/19 +40 front and 275/35/19 +23 rear.
I have a set of Ichiba 15mm bolt on spacers which I bought brand new and haven't put them on yet cuz I haven't made up my mind if I'll need a different size or not.
I'm open to any suggestion you all can provide. Thanks in advance!

You know you can check with a ruler right?

you could on the rear, but rubbing on the fender liner is difficult to measure with just a ruler...

The issues with rubbing in the front wheel wells is a combination of how slammed you want to be and how wide/cambered you want, so you could measure with a ruler and just compensate with how low you sit or how much camber you want

sure on paper it looks easy. not so easy in real world.

easier to just ask someone that has a working setup.
