FAQ: Official wheel "SPACER" thread!

Well here is mine with the stock 18"x8 front and 18x8.5 rear. I have coilovers and I lowered my car, added a teeeny bit of negative camber to the rear (because I have not done a fender roll yet). I have 20mm spacers in front and 25mm in the rear. My tires are front: 225/45/18 and rear: 245/45/18. Since your tires are going to be 10mm wider, you could probably get along with the same setup, especially in front. My car is also lowered with coilovers...

Need Help Getting Flush
Hey guys, I have 19x8.5F 19x9.5R wheels with a +35mm offset (I know it's nowhere near flush). I was wondering what size spacers I would need to get to get as flush as possible. I was thinking either 20mm or 22mm. Anyone have any thoughts? I know I could just "go measure" like I'm sure everyone would tell me, but I'm working on the wheels at the moment, so I can't put them on to measure. Thank for any input/help!

So how would those work? Seem okay to me. I know the whole "ebay quality" thing, but I've read several posts ON THIS SITE that's said ebay spacers work perfectly fine and have been holding up. Just wanted to ask about sizing with my 19x8.5/9.5 +35 offset wheels, and then also what size tires you would recommend with the whole setup. Thank you so much for your help!

As far as tires, I pulled this from the Top 100 Common Questions thread:
"19" combination:
Front 19" x 8.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 245/35/19
Rear 19" x 9.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 275/35/19
(lower offset such as +10 in rear is possible but may require rolling)"
So with your offset, you will probably need a fender roll, depending on ride height.

They look fine to me for spacers (big, but that's what you want).

This might be a shot in the dark but... the original tires on the wheels were 225/40 on the front and 245/40 on the rear. The fronts are bad so I'm going to get new ones. I like the look (small bit of stretch) they have now with the tire setup. What would you recommend for the replacement size of the fronts? BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION I HAVE IS, WOULD I NEED MY FENDERS ROLLED WITH THAT SIZE TIRE PLUS THAT SIZE SPACER? Probably going to drop it on Tanabe gf210s. Thanks again for all your help.

350Z Wheel Spacer Advice?
Hey Guys & Gals,
Tried going through the post to find more info but kinda got lost with "information overload" since there were so many pages to sift through and I don't know exactly what I was quite looking for anyways.
Anyhow I hope someone out there can help me figure out what size spacers I need to make my tires "disappear" and look flush for both the front/rear of my 04 350Z Roadster? I'm guessing 20mm for rear and maybe 15mm for front, would that be correct or would it fall short?
I don't want to overdo it by making anything stick out or make it look like the car is about to collapse in on itself like I've seen some other imports driving on the road these days. Plus I plan on eventually running over some curbs or potholes while driving normally day to day so I'll definitely need some sort of clearance for those type of aggravated situations. Besides I prefer or more classy stance but still retain a bit of sporty/aggressive look if that makes any sense???
Currently my wheel setup is as follows:
18" 350Z 35th Anniversary rims with stock 225/45/R18 tires on the front rims and 245/45/18 on the rear. Also have the Brembo BBK on both front and rear and plan on putting in a Nismo S-Tune suspension in next week so that might change the dynamics slightly since I don't know how much we're gonna drop it just yet? Will that affect anything drastically?
I don't have a digital meter to measure and honestly don't know too much about this topic but I'm trying to learn as we go along so any advice on the correct spacer lengths for the desired look and quality companies who make them would be greatly appreciated. I'd be interested in hearing your recommendations and any other advice regarding my situation.
Thanks in advance for your help and replies.

Project kics 10mm spacers
was wondering if anyone has installed these,was thinking of buying and i noticed they don't make a hubcentric ring for the 10mm, is it because you don't need one for this size?

spacer on nismo wheels
Hey I just bought a set of oem nismo 370z wheels off a 2011 370z (i believe). They have a offset of +40 front and +23 in rear. I just plan to use standard tire size 245 front, 285 rear. Just wonder what size spacers I should get for the front. Not planning to use any spacers in rear, just don't want the fronts to look more sucked in then the rears. I'm thinking 15mm, would love to hear what other 350z owners with 370z nismo wheels are doing. (can't really find too much into on which spacers people are using on there 370z nismo wheels)
Thanks.
Thanks.

Spacers
Hi
I was wondering which spacers I need for my stock wheels to sit flush with the fender? I'm installing BC BR coils in the next few days, and don't want that "sunken" in look. Which mm would I need to get for front and rear?
Would this be a good choice?

z1 motorsports cnc spacers
Anyone have these on there car? I recently was adjusting my coil-overs and noticed something wrong with the spacers. Is this common with spacers or is it a defect? i havent checked my fronts yet. I bought them about a year and a half ago brand new packaged with my arp studs.CAN anyone recommend some good slip on spacers as i already have arp extended studs...

i barely drive my car and as far as abuse what kind of abuse are we talking about? I dont track my car. I dont really think i would purchase these spacers again so i dont see why i would waste my time contacting z1 for $32 a pair spacers. Thats why i wanted to see if this was common with any spacer or could someone suggest some that i can be safe with.
