have you inspected them recently? any stress cracks? i would not have noticed them until i was hammering the coilover collar to loosen it and the lip from the spacer fell to the ground.

Z1 sells spacers cheap, high quality and available without studs. Perfect for people with APR studs looking for different options.

What brand are the broken spacers? I have dealt with a few sets of Z1 spacers, quality every time.

i dont know the brand, they are the generic ones z1 sells on their site. i might just have to order some again seeing as i think they are the only ones that sell spacers with no bolts. Anyone know what would happen if they fracture....im assuming nothing right since the wheel is bolted on to the hub?

OK my brain IS Bleeding out my ears on all of this

I have my wheels down to 2 choices
#1 MRR GT1 20x8.5 +20 20x10 +25 245/35/20 275/30/20
#2 TSW Snetterton 19.x8.5x +20 19x9.5 +20 245/35/19 275/35/19

I like the idea of the 19 for a 35 series tire in the rear, the 20x10 will requier a 30 series tire.
The MRR GT1 come in a 19 but they are +35 I think thats to big to try to spacer out

Thoughts Will I still need a spacer if I use the 19 inch wheels with the +20 offset?
looking to be flush or at least close

H&r or eibach is where it's at. Their stuff is top notch. I have a pair of eibach 25mm I'm willing to sell, I need 30mm

I would contact Z1 about their broken spacer, they may or may not do anything. I would also just get another set from them. Nothing will really happen on a broken spacer like that, just a bit extra load on the studs when it happens.

Question What wheel spacer will suit me best?

Hey all,

So I'm in the market for two rear wheel spacers. Currently I own a 2007 350 that is 100% stock. I'm fine with the fronts being how they are, but the rear wheels look so odd with how the fenders flare out but the wheels cave in. My math isn't the best, and I'm just having difficulty finding the proper size that will get the look I'm asking for. I want the tire to come out a tiny but not too much. I tried using the search bar but I have come across no answers to my question.

So what size am I looking to get spacer wise? Here is a link of what I believe would be the spacer for me.

*****EDIT*****
So I just went outside to measure how much I'm looking to come out and this is what I came up with. At the middle of the fender flare I was getting a little over 3/4 of an inch to have the wheels be flush with the fender. From different spots on the fender more toward the rear and front of the same fender, i was getting a little under 3/4 of an inch to be flush. So I guess I'm looking for a little over 3/4 of an inch to come out?

http://www.carid.com/2007-nissan-350...t-7608378.html

The 0.787" spacer is what I'm looking at.

Questions, comments, and concerns are all welcome!

In the mean time I'm going to go measure and see how much I'm looking to come out.

Thanks,
Justin

quality item for a great price. Plus Z1 has excellent customer service, I highly recommend them.

I have 20mm on the front and 25mm rear on my car. If you are just doing rear I would go with either 20mm or 25mm.

No one can give you an answer. you will need to measure and see where you want your wheels to sit and then order the appropriate spacers.

Thanks! I'm thinking of going the 20mm! You cleared my confusion!

It depends on where you look at the wheel. With my 20mm front and 25mm rear, the top of the wheels are slightly inside the fender but the bottom of the wheels stick out past the body of the car. I guess it also depends on your camber settings.

If you are stock height you can easily go 25mm and it will look good. I love my setup. 20mm is slightly less aggressive.

I would recommend 15mm front 20mm rear. It worked fairly well when my Z was stock and will allow you to get wider tires as well and not rub
