AWESOME THREAD!!!!!! Now I know which ones I want and when this snows melt I know how to measure and to make sure how much travel I need to comp for. I will post pic as soon as I get them and get them on!
noob question that probably has been answered but i am too lazy to go through this whole thread. So i have a 08 z with stock wheels, and i plan on keeping them for a while, and invest in so spacers. what company and size would someone recommend to have my wheels be completely flush with my fenders?

Hey guys, I've scrolled through a good chunk of these pages...but does anyone have pics of a V1 track edition with spacers on the stockers? I'm thinking of going with 25mm up front and 30mm in the rear. I'm on stock suspension, but is there a mild (probably very mild) lowering spring that would allow me to use those spacers without fender rolling? I honestly am not looking to get super low, I just want to close a little fender well gap, not necessarily all of it. Any pics? Thanks

Whoa, they came in chrome? Maybe they were chromed after the fact, but yes those! Sorry I must have missed those pics if it was in this thread. Any idea on that car's suspension? I definitely like the 25s up front and 30s in the rear...looks to be lowered a bit too though?

J,
Did you get a chance to read my PM by any chance, or is it easier to post it in here.
edit - this is your pm...

I had a couple questions, or what you could say maybe just a confirmation.*
My setup 245/30 19x9.5 (+24)// 275/35 19x10 (+18)
I'm wanting to run spacers, but I have an issue with what spacers I can run. Using your thread I've realized my work wheels don't have "gaps". Meaning I need to run at least a 25mm spacer front and back to clear the 25.4 stud in length. (I don't want to replace the studs, since I put my stock wheels on during the winter season)
19x9.5 (-1) 19x10 (-7)
I know I will have to roll my rear fenders. What about the fronts (with keeping this tire setup)??? Also, I will be stretching *my tire sizes a bit on the next set of tires. (if I need to roll my fronts, I may stretch the fronts in hopes of leaving the front fender alone)
Also, you stated work wheels bore is 88 and the stock hub bore is 66.1. If I were to get spacers with hubcentric rings already, are these all that I need? Or do I need to purchase hubcentric rings to put on my hubcentric spacers? 88 to fit a 66.1 spacer. If that makes any sense...
What brand of spacers do you recommend, do certain ones have more pros then others? I haven't heard much good from project kics. I was looking into ichiba since they come with hubcentric rings.*
Any vendor or site you recommend for good pricing and reliable?*I would appreciate any information on my quest to achieve my inspired fitment.*
Thank you,
JP

have you mounted these wheels yet?
also, u can replace the studs with longer ones and use "slip on style" spacers but your studs will just be long with stock wheels...but thats okay, just use open ended lug nuts?!?

even when a vendor or online car accessory shop says they have it "in stock" be verry very very blunt and ensure its in stock "IN HAND" ready to ship, not "drop shipped"
if not, you could be waiting!
