Default Fender Roll

First a little info on the car...

350z
Tanabe Springs (1.25 drop all the way around)
Tokico shocks
SPC camber kit


I purchased some 20mm Project Kic's wheel spacers this past weekend, but before I put them on, does anyone know if I need to get the fenders rolled due to rubbing? I want a flush look, thats my primary goal.

What size wheels/tires? Every car is a little different. Depends on your camber, wheel/tire setup. You won't know until you try but just prepare to roll the fenders. That way if you don't have to, you're relieved.

Rubbing doesnt really have anything to do with ride height. If your offsets and tire width are aggressive enough they will rub. Unless you run massive amounts of negative camber.

PROBLEM: Trying to install the front spacers but it looks as though there are 5 studs and 1 extra screw / stud (gold color) so I cant put the spacer on. Am I supposed to remove it before I put on the spacer? Attached is a photo for a better description.

No fender roll required = no flush look.

Pull that extra stand-off out. 12mm socket and it's done.

i don't think you will need rolling with stock wheels. The stock wheels are uber conservative....should be fine without rolling. Let us know how it goes.

OP, fyi that extra bolt/washer is just there to prevent putting the rear wheels on the front.
