I'm down to the wire on getting some hubcentric spacers. I just wanted to make sure with you guys before I make the purchase. Ok, here's the setup. I have the 03 V1 track wheels everything OEM. I think it is best to go 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. I've done searches and it seems like this is the best way to go. Anyone have any problems with this setup on stock wheels or disagree with it??? I'm listening to anything before i buy. Let me know, thanks!

I've got 25mm on the back of my 03 track. Personally, I would not go less than 25mm on the rears. The tires are almost flush with the fenders. Suspension is stock. I can dig up some pics for you if you want.

Also, read this. Good stuff and info to see different sizes.

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...er-thread.html

30mm rear and 25 in the front seem to be popular.


I have not put spacers on the front yet. Cant decide if I want 25 to match the rears or 20mm to keep em in a bit. I've got ichiba, nice piece, only get the hub centric type.

Can someone touch on the changing handling characteristics of the car if the rear track is widened more than the front track. I'm assuming it would introduce a bit more under steer. Is this correct?

usually what i have read is 20mm up front and 25mm in rear but 30mm will also work. if you need some 20mm Ichiba V2's with hub rings, pm me if you are interested.

look at 25mm on a ruler its really not as much as you think when applied you can even do 30mm but 25 is a safer bet so you will be able to use on future setups

I had 20mm front and 25mm rear on my v1 track wheels and I was very pleased with it.
