Wheel spacers for stock rims
There is a slight slight slight liability that they could cause your wheels to fall off. But there is also a slight slight slight chance that your door latch will fail, your seat belt will come undone and an unfortunate cross-wind will blow you out of your car while in motion.
The only other possibility for this "liability" statement is the fact that wheel spacers change the stresses on your wheel bearings and can potentially over time cause them to need replacement quicker than normal. But again, not a liability, just a cost of improving the appearance of your vehicle.

Yea, this was easy. Actually, you can do it with nothing more than a couple of chocks, the jack and lug wrench in your "Z". (You'll want to drop by somewhere and have the lugs re-torqued soon after.) Give it a try.
Awesome! Every time I see a nice drop it ends up being GF210's.
How long have you had them on? Are you running aftermarket shocks? I wanted to get the GF210's but I talked to a guy that said his factory shocks blew out within 10k miles. I would like it to last a little longer than that. So if I end up buying shocks and springs, I'm thinking I should just suck it up and get coilovers. Ugh... I've been in debate for over a month now. Thoughts?

WOW lot of good pictures and info on this tread. I want to do this mod!
If I can get a couple of opinions from you that would be great
I have the Sportlines w/ stock 18'aniversary rims..
I'm rolling my fenders. I'm also going to install Tokico Dspecs (as soon as they arrive)
Would the tires rub if i put 30m rear 20m front?? I'm worried that they will because the Sportline drop is supper low...
Thanks also what brand of spacer/cambers would you recommend?
Thanks

My car was just a bit out of spec both front and rear. My rear tires were beginning to show just a little camber wear when they were replaced. I started with a rear camber kit. That probably was enough. I added front uppers when I had the money - call me ****, I guess.
Based upon your drop - I would guess you are O.K.
(I am running 20mm spacers with a 1" drop F & R)
Sry I never saw this question. But to answer it...Yes I installed rear camber and toe kit and the person was still barely able to get it back into spec. I am not sure if he just didn't spend much time or what.
I did not get one for the front. But the camber is definitely way off. I lost the sheet from the alignment though. I want to say one side was like -2.1? Ran through my front tires fairly quickly. I am still too lazy to put on the kit though.
I had 25mm rears with the Sportlines, and needed the rears rolled.
