i need a spacer that would make my wheels look flush with the car...i have a +40 offset 18" wheel that is 8.5" wide. which spacer size would work?

thanx guys!

 

You will need 25-30mm spacer for the front, and a 40mm spacer for the rear.

20mm front/25mm rear should be fine if you just want a flush look. Won't be super aggressive, but still a big improvement.

 

thank you guys sooo much!!!

 

25 rear will NOT give you a flush look o nthe rear. 35-40 will. Like I said 25 for front.

Here's what I use.... http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

My numbers aren't a speculation or estimate.

9.5 +22 and a 10.5 +22 will give you a flush look. If you convert those offsets to your wheel measurments my numbers are what you get.

i can't seem to find 35-40 spacers only 25....oh no

 

Exactly. I wasn't disputing Jetpilots calculations but rather listing the most common readily available sizes. Like he said, it won't be perfectly flush in the rear but it would look decent, certainly better than stock. You could do 25mm all around if want, but widths of the wheels aren't staggered so you might want to run a slightly larger spacer in the rear to partially achieve the staggered look. That's why I recommended 20 front, 25 rear. Really the best option is just to find a set of wheels made for the car with wide widths and aggressive offsets, but that is up to you.

 

It is true that they don't make spacers that big. Those are the sizes you would need to make these wheels flush.

The offset is terrible. I agree..... buy new wheels.

We can get up to 30mm ones. I just had a client order a set of 25 and 30mm spacers for his Z. I know the stock was sold out on one of those sizes. if you're interested shoot me a PM. We're running a special on KICS Spacers.

 

+40 offset is an offset meant for a different car.

 

I posted this on another thread. I have the Tein S Tech springs on my Z, along with H&R spacers (20mm in front & 25mm in rear). To give you an idea of this setup, here are some pics from this weekend:

My Z looks like a Porsche with the low and wider, aggressive stance. No gaps on the fenders with stock rims & wheels. No rubbing either.

 

Looks good. Do you notice any difference in ride quality or performance?


EDIT: 100th post! Haha...I'm definetly not a post *****!

 

There is definitely great improvement on the handling. Of course, it was a combination of the suspension mods that I installed -- front/rear sway bars, lowering springs and the wheel spacers, which pushed the tires out wide to give it a wider stance. My Z does not roll or dip anymore on corners.
