YES, the oem studs are 25mm long, so if you use 20mm bolt on spacers the stock oem studs will stick out 5 mm.

Yes!


YES they do! matter of fact...all oem wheels have gaps...deep gaps actually...

Except for the 370Z 19's.. The fronts will not clear the bolt-on (H&R DRM) spacers in a 15mm, 20mm, or 25mm. Have to go with the stud replacements on that application in those sizes.

 

Thanks J!

 

finally got around to installing my spacers.

The studs on the Ichiba spacers appeared to be a little longer then stock.
So I checked the depth against the OEM lug nuts.
They seemed to be OK by a few MM.

One thing I forgot to check were the locking lugs!
The locking lugs are a little bit shallower (less deep).
I found this out when tightening the locking lug on my second wheels and breaking the head off of the locking lug nut.

Tried to get the locking lug off of the first wheels and it feels stripped.

So two broken/stripped studs/lugs.

I installed Ichiba bolt-on 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear.

 

This should be fun to get off.

 

Theres a special socket to get locking lugs if you don't gave the key. That may be your best bet seeing how you can't get anything else in there. I've used that socket and you just band the socket on and it wedges itself onto the Brocken lug and with patience it'll come off unless it's badly stripped and bound up

 

where can i get that socket?

 

Try craftsman. If not there you'll have to get it from Marco or Mac or snap on. And check in that order lol

 

is this the one?

It looks like it. Go to sears and look at the actual socket. It's gunna look like a hollow round socket that has a slight taper so when you bang it on it wedges the locking lug on the socket

 

Duckee how about a Nismo v2 kit now?

I want to share mine again. Here is a photo of her at the Ebetts Pass Run 2011 October.
Now on new tires

FRONT 235/40/18 +10
REAR 265/30/19 +5


<br>
Here is the shot of the Rear

 

Looks kinda goofy with the rear tire shorter than the front. If you ran the proper size rear 265/35 you would also reduce the fender gap.

 

What do you recommend for my nismo, which is on HKS coils. I have attached some pics. The wheel is turned slightly to the right and is on a slight incline, thus bringing in the camber a bit. I'm thinking 20 mm? Thoughts please!

 

25mm with a simple fender roll will clear easy, what size tires do you have? and are you going to space the front as well?

 

im running the 19x10's from the back up front with a 20mm spacers and im dropped pretty low and i rub...u could prolly do 20 with the 18x9 and be just fine..out back go 25mm, im running them with 275/35 and have my fenders rolled and im just fine

 

Can somebody show is pictures of how the fendets look like when they are rolled in close view? Most of the pictures with rolleded fenders look like they havent been rolled.

 

In response to my recent post about my nismo..I installed 20mm spacers up front. I have attached a pic. Do you think it looks good/will not rub? I tried the 20mm in the rear, but with my 285 width tires, it was too aggressive, so my buddy tried a 10mm spacer on the rear, and looked great--very flush too. Will need to lower the rear a bit and get the rear fender rolled. Let me know your thoughts!

 

Looks clean to me. Would like to see a wider shot of the car.

real question is does it rub at all.

 

I will take a wider shot once I get it out of my garage, it poured all day here yesterday while I was installing them. I took it for a ride around my development and heard nothing out of the ordinary, and there were some mild dips and bumps.

 

it looks good to me...id go a little lower if i were u tho and run a 15mm spacer...im lower then that and rub on big dips but nothing major..it looks good tho!
