I needed about a half inch of spacing to fit the 15's over my non brembo brake calipers...
The spacers reduce the amount of "grab" the lug nuts get on the wheel studs. They can pull out and the wheel will come off.
Secondly, the increased leverage the wheel get by spacing it out from the axle increases the likelyhood that the wheel will twist the wheel studs off when you launch. Unfortunatelt I am speaking from experience here...
Make sure your wheel studs are long enough and replace them by a higher grade material if possible. Buying a wheel with the correct spacing would be best.
Good luck in the future... You've got a rocket of a street car there!

Kick *** time. That 60 ft time is just as good, if not better, than what those AWD guys are getting. Its awesome how two of the fastest bolt-on Zs on this board are in the same area.
Charles, so whats up with the hook up?

Be careful when you use wheel spacers to offset your slicks.

It's a real bummer to drive your car to the track, break off a wheel, and then have no way to get it home.

i velieve they are american racing steelies and despite being steel they only weigh 19 pounds. not bad at all. i am sure you could run some mustang 15s as well. they are extremely light.
great times and insane 60 foot for stock gears. I am jealous of your track prep. if you stay all motor are you gonna get some 3.90 gears and keep those insane launches? i would.

no offense, but i dont see how its possible for an NA z to cut a 1.5 on slicks.....but then the other two were realistic. Unless your car is really light or is making some stupid power, a 1.5 is pretty unrealistic. I know guys with 4.30s, full drag suspensions, 290 rwhp and 300+lb at 3100lb race weights that barely cut 1.5s. My friend spaying a 75 kit out of the hole with gears and slicks dead hooking carrying the front tire for a few feet only cuts 1.5s....looks likeyou staged with the rears

Well a z32 can launch with a 1.46 why not a 1.57 in a z33?
I cut a 1.4624 in my friends 95 300zx TT about a month ago. Mind you he has an aftermarket LSD and we were on ET Streets, but he has since consistent low 1.6's. The car was aligned for a road course also and was running 2 degees negative camber in the rear. Sometimes you just get that magic launch.
more info on car and run
I cut a 1.69 in my 350 but haven't been able to match it, although i've only been to the track maybe twice since that night. It usually launches 1.8's consisitently though. Track prep can play a significant role also.
A 1.5 isn't easy, but it's not impossible either, at least in my opinion.

As far as sfarrah’s launch and times with the 300 ZX TT, I was there and the guy just consistently makes Z’s look good. It wasn’t even warm out when he cut the 1.69 in his 350, so I imagine he will best that launch sometime this summer.

yeah, but your and my track suck they only prep for national events.
I will argue this till i am blue in the face if any track officials say different. I have been there on days when it was too stickey for a second gera burnout, and days when my tires were like they were on ice
