I have 19" 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the back. I run 15mm spacer in the front and 20mm spacer in the back. I started out with 20mm all the way around like Waiz, but I kept on rubbing in the front. So I swapped to 15mm in the front. I'm lowered 1" on the Eibach pro kit with new stock struts and SPC camber adjustment kit.

 

Yeah I rub in the front very infrequently, glad to hear you're still rocking the LM's

 

Dragon, there is nothing wrong with having a square set-up like you do. I would probably run a slightly smaller tire up front personally, but it's no biggie. Just make sure your Speedo is in check by using this link to be sure the tire overall diameters are the same. Off the top of my head, your front tires might be just a tad small, so your speedo might be reading a little high.

As far as spacers, I can only speak for your rear with certainty. I tried both a 20mm and a 25mm with your wheel/tire size on the rear of my car. My fenders were rolled and neither rubbed so I went with the 25mm. The 20mm was nice too though and not *quite* as flush. So if you're worried about rubbing go with the 20mm rear. I would suggest either of these spacer set-ups:

15mm front / 25mm rear
..or..
10mm front / 20mm rear

Cheers,
John

 

Yeah, I have 18" LMGT4's (bought from AadosX )and my spacers are: Front 15mm, rear 25mm. I tried 20mm on the front and was rubbing too often. I had the rear fenders rolled though so keep that in mind.

 

I forgot to mention that I also had the rear fenders rolled to fit the 20mm spacers.

 

 

18" LMGT4..(regret selling them, shouldve kept em for track/autox events)







19" lmgt4 (Track days and autox) Prolly sell these or trade them for a set of LMGT4 18's





370z Nismo wheels.. sorry car still needs to be painted... jus put the wheels on to take pics.

 

Nice collection of LM's and the 370Z Nismo wheels look cool in black

 

Hey dude, u need some kind of spacer to fit the nismos 370z wheels, to clear the brembo brakes?

 

I love my LMs, 2nd Z I had them on. I was in a car show this past weekend and the hood was popped showing the Vortech, the BBK calipers are bright red, and yet all of the Nissan people there were slobbering over the wheels! I got more questions/compliments on them than anything else on the car.

 

First G35 Sedan with 19" Nismo LMGT4s (2 or 3 Sedans have since gotten them IIRC)





EDIT: Just realized after going through this entire thread a few of you posted my car in here in Sept 2010...haha.

I added another set of Project Kics R40 lugs, now running TWO sets (I had extended studs prior to getting V2 spacers. So the second set was installed on the extended studs.)

 

^^^ very nice. Lmgt-4 FTW. i'M stretching my 18" on my SS.

 

Repost!

 

@candle, could you get a close up/angle shot of your lugs and wheels? I'm thinking of getting an extra set of lugs, mainly I'm looking into kics r40 in black.

Gracias amigo

 

^Here's the best close up/angle shot I have.

 

so sick, lmgt4s for the win

 

Great pics! I love/miss these wheels. This particular pic reminds me of when a friend saw my (then) new 19" LMGT4's....

"that must suck when you get a flat, you have to remove all 10 lugnuts"

 

Man 18" LMGT4s look so nice on Z's

...at stock ride height. lol

I really wish they were the same price for the legit sizes and offsets. =(

 

ok guys..thanks for all ur help...i swapped the stock tires on to the NISMO and plan to run them till worn out and get the correct width tires.

Here are some pics .


Now..i feel I do need for spacers to get the flush and make the tire stand out a bit..which would you recommend

these are original specs
Nismo LMGT4 18x8.5 +25 Front 18x9.5 +30 Rear

front:Tire: 225/45/18
rear:245/45/18

also do i need to roll my fenders...i would like to avoid rolling fenders.

Black wheels - black tires are difficult to photograph. Still glad this worked well for you.
