Hey guys...
Sorry to be a pain in the ***... but i dont feel like reading this whole thread.

I'm wondering what size spacers i should get for my Z. I've got the 03 track package with the trrack wheels on and want a more aggressive look... stock height...

What size spacers do you recommend on my stock setup?
Will be lowering and getting some staggered wheels eventually... saving for my house down payment first though.

25/30mm spacers would look the best, but will rub if you lower your car.

Would I be ok to run 25/30mm without having to change anything else? Will it throw out alignment etc?

I only plan on lowering about 1".
Is a 1" drop hard on the stock shocks? An will I need camber kits for 1"? And will 25/30mm rub with 1" drop?

I know I should be trying this stuff on my own, but a little information always helps.

Newbie question. Do the stock 18' wheels for my 07 have the necessary gaps for the Ichiba Version II (Stud Included) 25mm Wheel Spacers? Is this all I would have to purchase to install?

Hello,

Okay I tried to read the entire thread but i could have missed it. So if i did i apologize if its been mentioned.

Is anyone running Work VS-XX?
I need to clear my stoptechs and I measured that I need at least 21mm to do so.

19 x 8.5 + 29 255/35

19 x 9.5 + 29 285/35

Does anyone know if i will rub if i buy 25mm spacers all around? I'm lowered on Tein S-Techs.

Thanks in advance...

Got my Ichiba v2's 20mm in today and noticed one of the rings has a lot of play. While the other spacer is set firm with no play.

im gonna do all the ,easurements tonight. but i figure if theres some know-how before i get home that would be nice.

*I did read the thread* ...jjust looking to see if anybodyt has any experience with my specifics..

Want rear spacers going hubcentric and all that, only question is the size.

I'm going to lower the car 1"
I am running stock '03 17s with 255/45/17 and they buldge a bit, obviously.
Have read around that 10-15mm would be max while other people claim 20-25mm would be totally fine...

I'm thinking of getting some 19' rims but I think the offset might be too high and from what I can understand the higher the offset the more it's tucked in, I was thinking of getting some spacer so my question is will that decrease the offset? Explain 19x8.0 /w offset of 42 using a spacer of 15mm-20mm would make it like a 19x8.0 /w offer of 22-27?

^ You are correct...but even with the spacer those are pretty weak offsets if you are going for a flush look.

Yup, I have 25mm spacers on my stock wheels, which are 30 and 33 offsets, so in effect my offsets are 5mm and 8mm.

I once had a Maxima lowered with 20's w/275's in the back and had rubbing nightmares, so I'm pretty happy to stay @ stock height n tires with the spacers giving me the flush look.

For now...

Default Project Kics 10mm spacer and Volk GTS

FOr those about to order some kics and have GTS wheels, the OEM studs hit the wheel so the wheel doesn't sit flush on the spacer.

If you ran a 15mm, i dont see a problem.

Just giving people heads up, for what it's worth

Shorter studs is always an option, for those people that really want to run this combo.
