The rears will be fine with that tire even if you ran a 10-15mm spacer. Can't speak on the fronts, but I know it has been done. Check the 19" Tire thread to see what modifications you may need to do

Hmm yeah that front what I'm worried about more. Question why does everyone I see with wheels say they're running spacers?? For the more poke and aggression? Or because it's required or what?

You want your wheels to stick out like this? If so you will need spacers.

It is a matter of taste and what you want your wheel/tire/stance to look like on your car. Spacers allow you to have a more aggressive look with a conservative spec'd wheel. Like sparco said, spacers will push out the wheel further away from the car.

Default Ichiba Wheel Spacers

Hi Guys,

Planning to install those Ichiba spacers on my 08 350Z.
Just wondering are those spacers durable? or reliable?
Thanks

99 percent of the cars on the road don't have the proper offset that enthusiast would like to see.

Just buy wheels with the offsets you want. Don't waste money on spacers

Arg.

V1 touring rims running 245/45 square with 25mm spacers all around and stock suspension.

This is a typical and usually problem free setup, but the square 245s actually push the front out enough to rub.

So headsup, 245 upfront should only run 15mm max.

Now I must Get rid of these 25 and find a 15.

Default Dealer Will Not Install Spacers...

Not sure where to go, there are not many good shops around me (Buffalo, NY).

They said they car unable to install due to liability. I still have to buy spacers but want something that bolt on and do not make me remove the stock studs.

I would mess it up, I'm not a mechanical person by any means. I would rather pay a shop that's insured to put them on in case something happens.

if you can take lug nuts off to remove a wheel then you can install bolt on spacers.

Try the top red bar, ''tools'' tab if you need help on measurements. Also Tire rack.com should have pretty good helps. In Marketplace you can see which vendors are here. Hope that helps.

Default Looking for some wheel spacers for my 350Z

So I have the stock 35th anniversary wheels for my 350 and they sit into the fender a little more than I want them to so I wanted to get some spacers to make it a little more flush with the sides. I don't want to but your regular Autozone ones that are going to break as soon as it starts moving i'd rather pay a little more for something thats going to fit and perform right. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 or 4.5". If you need any more info about the car or would like to warn me about any side effects that wheel spacers come with please don't hesitate to post below. Also if I would need to do any fender rolling or other things like that to make them fit. Thanks for the help.
