So just to make things clear, because I'm going to be doing the same thing except with project kics spacers (have studs built into them), i would bolt on the spacers and wheels... then after 25mi like suggested take the wheels off and retorque the spacers? And then put the wheels back on, and retorque the wheels after 25mi?
That correct?
Also one more question, why do you need two jackstands and a floor jack to change wheels/add spacers? Isn't the jack that nissan gives you to change to the spare tire enough? Thanks guys!

 

that is the correct method, also check your wheels after another 25 miles to make sure those are torqued correctly. The reason the jack and jackstands are recommended are because the stock jack is really only meant for emergency use, and not for use on a regular basis, its weak and can fail much easier than a real jack. Its also easier to jack the car up from the differential and put it on jackstands to install the spacers

Would that be a good deal? A floor jack and 2 jack stands? Actually my cousin down the street I'm sure has 2 jackstands, but i dont think he has a floorjack.

 

Yeah that's a good deal. Just be careful when you release the pressure to lower it. Do it VERY slowly. One 1/4 turn too fast and floor jack will let off FAST.

 

ok... i couldnt fine anyone to install these. i think theres a different method for h&r spacers. i think you have to replace the existing studs with the extended once and put the spacer on top of that and then the rim over the spacer. the extended studs are not attached on the spacer. anyways. this might actually look different when its actually installed correctly, but i just tried test fitting over the existing studs and it looks retarded IMO. its not flush, it sticks out of the fender.
by the way heres my rim specs again...
19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +29

 

wow. thats too much right there. man. my bad are you gonna try to get it installed anyway?

 

there is something wrong with your suspension there, your camber is way outta wack, looks like you have positive camber and the top of the tire sticks out more than the bottom

 

Either that or you have to let the suspension/wheel settle with all of the cars weight over it. Even if you jack it up 6 or 7 inches (without the tires coming off the ground) your camber will change from negative to positive

 

there is no way his setup actually looks like that, my offset is more aggressive and my tires are wider and it tucks with a fender roll

 

With spacers you'd be at 9.5" +9 which is pretty much the same as a 10.5" +22, a nice flush fit.

Did you remove the concentric ring before seating the spacer over the hub? Because it looks like you're bumped out about the thickness of that hub ring. Spacer is designed to fit over your stock hub, not the concentric ring.

 

yeah nevermind then. LOL i was too lazy and didnt have the correct jack. i used the spare tire jack and have side skirts so it was a bich. yeah it wasnt installed correctly. i just put the spacers over the existing studs. thanks for the response. i realized i have to take off the caliper, then take off the existing studs replace them with the extended studs my spacers came with put the caliper back on then spacer then rim. too much work. any idea how much this will cost at a mechanics shop?

 

Few hours worth of labor ... $80 per hour = around $160

 

thanks. i think im going to try doing myself with a friend. my friend knows a lot about mechanics, so ils see what i can do before i get it professionally done. ill keep yall updated!

 

so i was just passing by my mechanics shop and dropped in for an estimate on installing these. he wants 45 per wheel. thats 180! haha i might just install these with a friend, if not sell them..

 

oh well... i finally got it done...

 

^ Looks good!

 

hehe thanks!
another one~

 

What size spacers/offsets did you end up going with? Fender cutting/rolling?

 

rim specs: 19x 8.5 and 9.5 +25F and +29R
spacer spec: 20mm ALL around
rolled rear fender.
i think i couldve went with 25mm, but 20 looks perfect..
