Hello-
I was planning of doing the same as you with the spacers 15/25mm and was wondering if you had any pics. I would love to see them before I buy mine. Im planning of putting eibachs pro kit & powercoat them in gunmetal I have a superblack Z
thanks
Jose

 

Frosty:

If you are using the standard wheels, you have no worries on putting those spacers on!!! So go for those 15mm!

cheers,

richie

 

Jose,

Note that my wheels are the standard 18".
I have 25mm spacers to rear - looks just a bit overdone imho,
would go for 20 max next time. You will be surprised how much
"balance" the extra width gives the car in corners.

I'm waiting for 15mm for front - the guys on the forum recommend
that - but I hope that they aren't quite so full-on as the rears.
Mind you, the rears don't rub, but look "fat" to me.

There was a whole thread re this subject but space must be at an absolute premium 'caus it seems to be all bloody gone! Pics and all.

Will do pics and post in a 'mo.

Try Performance Nissan - they have the better type with the
locating flange for safety.

Check the legality in your State, though.

Cheers

Take care with the offsets of your wheels - you could strike
trouble with mismatch offset/spacers/wheel sizes if your'e not careful. There's a calculator somewhere on this forum.

 

Jose,

Here's pics as promised.

If your gunmetal are as I think I know them, they'll look GREAT -
very businesslike.

I tried to get some sense from japan parts on 19" but gave up.

I'll wait 'till someone up over has agency and get them there.

Last pic. Was going to shoot whole car from behind but too dark.
Will do tomorrow if you want.

Phark! that SUNSET looks grouse!

(Sorry H)

Jesus, better not lower your car with those babies.

Frosty, whats your offset at the moment in the rear?

 

farked if I know!

25mm more than standard.

Makes it easy to get your hand in to clean wheel insides.

I found the calculator:

http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

 

 

It gives the offsets in the hand book.

The 17's I know were 33- rear.

I only gained 5.5mm + with my 9X18" Drift R's rears as they are 40-, and of course the extra 12.5mm (1/2 the extra inch width outwards)

I am going for the Nissan performance 15mm extension spacers I think.
I hope the studs fit exactly through the hub!


Those 18"'s with 25 mm hardly seem to come under the lip Frozty.
Maybe its a deceptive pic?


Off topic I see Nissan Performance C.A. are offering the Nismo exhaust cat back for $900.00 u.s odd + shipping. Does this seem OK? No guaruntee on the fitting I guess tho...

 

i think it's just under of it. Maybe now Frozty need to roll it's fender now :P

 

Naah, there's plenty (10mm?) of clearance without rolling the lip -
it's just a bit extreme for my eye. You young fuggers would prefer the 25's I would think.

Would just go for 20's next time.

If anyone is ordering - and wants 25- -suggest order 20s and I'll swap. Only takes 10 mins to do the lot.

Has anyone done the 15's.?

I recall someone mentioning doubt re: stud fit?

 

Did anyone have the 15mm studs?

Off topic. I see Ireland isn't listed as part of the UK in this site, in Europe tho'.!

Suppose it suits some!!
