It was such a bummer. I was all happy with my new 19's and boom.....face palm yesterday

 

dont feel bad lol, those cars are lower to begin with

 

yeah but put it next to a mustang or charger it makes out cars look like a go-kart (size wise)



so dont feel that bad

 

Good point


However the group of guys around me all have cars that sit lower than me so I'm at a catch 22

 

I made my own Nismo plate frame. I bought a black metal frame at Autozone and since I had an extra Nismo emblem I put it to use.

^^ that is just sexy. i really like that rear diffuser on your car. was teh fitment on point? i hope it's a replica. lol.

 

thats a great idea!, i wonder if they have one in cf

 

It's a JP Aero diffuser. That indent on the middle is for the badge. Fitment is spot on. I know a vendor here was making a replica in carbon but I forgot who.

 

I was flipping though Nissan Sport Mag and spotted a small little picture of your car with your old SSR wheels.

 

the vendor is thezstore.com

Beautiful car...freaking CLEAN garage. Your pics inspired me to clean up mine. How often do you sweep your garage...seriously?

 

The texture of the flooring allows for easy cleanup so its not hard maintaining the floor. There's still a few more things I want to do with my garage to give it that showroom feel.

 

There you go


I have a couple copies of it too

 

I'm planning on replacing the 5mm to 10mm spacer in the rear and swap the front from 3mm to 5mm. Anyone recommend Project Kics or Ichiba version 2 for the rear?

 

I would just do it right and get the longer studs then the spacer...either way I've owned both brands and both are great! I like the Ichiba personally, but the safest way to run a spacer is to have the longer studs to match the length of the added spacer...Good luck!!!

 

Don't the Project Kics and Ichiba version 2 come with extended studs already plugged into the spacer? I was looking at the version 1 for Ichiba and you have to take out your OEM studs, replace it with extended and then add the spacer over the hub. Are you saying the version 1 is safer/better?

 

i had the ichiba ver 2 spacers and i wasnt 100% happy with them. the rears would get loose after 2 weeks or so and it was annoying.. i cant say anything about the other brands.

 

Oh dayum....loose! That could get very ugly.

 

I've ran many different sizes ichiba v2 and v1 spacers. I haven't had any issues at all. Project kics don't come with the hubcentric rings.

 

Yes, the version one will come with the spacer and longer studs, which is a bit safer than the v2. There is no unwanted pressure since the studs are longer. The V2 is a good "easier" alternative because the studs are built into the spacer. With the v1, the wheel is on the hub how it is supposed to be. With the v2, the wheel is on a spacer's studs, which is connected to the wheel hub studs, if that makes sense. There is added pressure, which can be avoided by having longer studs.

I think either way, honestly, you will be fine, but if you ever drive aggressive, I would just do it right.

Hope that helps, that's just my opinion though.
