I want to install wheel spacer on my 06 15mm F/ 20mm R dont know much about it, what brand doesnt require to change the stock studs, im looking for direct bolt on???

Heres my understanding for 350Z 25mm ABOVE dont require to change stock studs, BELOW 25mm all require changing so you have to go thru all the hassle of taking off the brake caliper, rotor and stock studs correct???

 

Look at photos of a spacer and where it fits. With a 5mm spacer, the lug nuts will be 5 mm shorter. Will that hold the wheel safely to the hub. What about a 15 or 20mm spacer?

 

ohh i see it, damn so only 25mm above will be straight direct bolt on rest will require more work.

+1 for Ichiba

Very nicely machined, Bryant's great guy to deal with.
Go with 25mm in the rear, almost flush. I just did the rears, will do the fronts with 20's this week and post pics of my 06.

 

all ichiba spacers require you to replace the wheel studs. Project Kics do not require you to replace them. You just have to make sure that the back of your wheels, where the bolt holes are, that next to them there is enough room to accept the excess from the oem wheel studs.

 

Make sure you order "hub centric" spacers (H&R or Ichiba) and use the longer bolts that come with the kit. Do not use the stock bolts. Otherwise, you are asking for disaster. I've installed 20mm in front & 25mm in rear. My tires are flushed with the fenders. Click on my sig for pics of my Z with stock rims & spacers.

 

that looks good, i think i'm in need of some spacers myself. the wheels, especially in the front, are under the fender. how do you know what size you need....20mm, 25mm...etc...curious?


edit: i think i just figured it out...just take a ruler and measure from the tire to the fender...

 

how hard is it to replace the stock studs, i ve never done it before but want to do it myself.

 

Keep in mind that clearance will change during hard cornering and bumps.
