Spacer Queston

Hey guys, so I'm interested in purchasing 15mm spacer for the front wheels on my Z, but I hear crazy stories about wheels falling off while driving. I was wondering how safe are spacers and which brand is the most reliable? Let me know.

follow the pattern for removing/installing wheels and use a torque wrench and you'll be good

Sometimes the wheels will fall off but it looks cool. That's what counts.

the linke Z04 posted will tell you everything you need to know...curious, where have you heard these stories of wheels coming right off due to spacers? I have honestly never heard of that happening to anyone

Not with a 350 at least.
