Damn it, I think I should use wheel spacers. Thoughts?

A distinct option... which I may do, but I like these Rota P45R's...

I refer you to my new wheels specific thread here (https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=345373)... i've already decided against spacers really and just want to rid of the TSW's.

If you're going to autocross your car, you really should get different wheels. I wouldn't autocross it with spacers and I wouldn't autocross it all tucked in like that either, especially with narrow tires. Then again I wouldn't autocross a convert. either

The spacers would be fine for spirited driving and MIGHT be fine with autocross but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way.

Get some wide wheels with wide rubber. Like the comericial, "wider is better".

Unless you want to fit into racing seats

Lots of people run spacers, you should be fine. Get the ones with the studs on them, not the eBay ones. Even if you autocross, they should hold up fine. But if you're really concerned, you can take them off on the higher speed track days.

You're gonna need at least 30mm spacers front/rear.

I'd take that $716 and simmer - wait and get what you really want. You'd be on your 3rd set and still looking at them as a compromise.

I've found the style I wanted with the Rota P45R/F's... think i'll be happy with that.


BTW guys i've decided with new wheels, selling the TSW's and not doing spacers... So I've got what I needed out of this thread no need to reply anymore, unless your bored though
