FAQ: Official wheel "SPACER" thread!
My crappy pic doesn't do these wheels justice. The wife even says there's no comparison. But If the RPF1s were darker I'd probably have stuck with them as they wouldn't look as small as they do with the silver to black contrast you see here. I've seen some beauties, i believe sparco's Z is rockin the black RPF1s and looks amazing.
Will have to contribute with some nicer pics in the Magnetic and Volk threads.

oh and i think the blue isn't bad its just something different, the silver and black is just too standard looking idk

I have the same exact wheels with the same exact offset I have the 2.5mm spacer and it works great, and if you roll your front fenders well you shouldn't have any issues.. I may even step mine up to a 5mm spacer just been too lazy cause I don't want to press in the extended studs.. but my camber is within spec in the front so you should be fine (btw I have 245-35 in the front)

I have a 2007 350z touring with the stock 18" wheels, 225s in front and 245s in back. Planning on getting 25 mm spacers for back and 20 mm for the front. I've read through all of the spacer threads I could find but did not really see a conclusion to the question.
The main concern is safety. What spacers should I buy? THanks.

and yeah I've heard you might not need extended studs and just need to get about 7.5 turns of the lug nuts if I remember correctly, but either way i've read conflicting stories and since my car sees track time I'd rather be safe then sorry but maybe thats just me
haha I guess.. from the factory they are kinda V shaped and I made mine ll shaped cause had rubbing with the 19 +12 offset of the volks.. but you got me curious about running 5mm spacers without the extended studs i'll have to look more into that
just read up on the first couple pages of this thread. all the info is there.

Even some of the vendors on this site sell spacers.
Hey guys
I have a set of wheels 8.5in wide with an offset of 35+. I want to get spacers to get the whole set up flush.
I'm thinking 15mm front and 20mm back. I dont know if that will be a good set up though.
So I guess my question is: 20mm all around? or maybe even 25mm. Or 15mm front and 20mm or 25mm in the back?
I don't want the vdc messing up.
Front 225/50/17
Rear 235/50/17

Hi people, I am thinking about lowering my car right now.
Here's the car, stock.

I am thinking about throwing some Eibach Sportlines to lower it and than use Ichiba Spacers : 25mm and 30mm
What do you guys think about it?
Will it be okay? I'll have to roll my fenders or something like that?
Thanks
