How much?

 

I am new, newbie and 1st car i ever mod 2004 Silverstone ZR

I did a whole day research on this site and just need confirmation or guidance, YES i actually know about the search button

Car is stock height, stock rims - Time to upgrade few things

Today I Ordered Rims: XXR 526 Chrome Gloss Black in 18x10.5 +20 all around

Questions:
1-
Do i need this kit : CNC Aluminum Hub Centric Wheel Spacers 2.5, 5, 10, 15, & 20mm? For front and Back? Should I drop it on Hotchkisor Springs or any other brand if its going to be a daily driver yet don't want a big gab between fender and rim?
- Please guide me to the best setup, i don't want to make a mistake

2- Are these tires OK (after research) 245/40 up front, and 265/40 rear? Do i really need spacers if i do that?

Thanks for your guidance...still learning!

 

Make sure I have this right. You intend to put a 245 mm tire on a 10.5 inch wheel?

 

yes, that's what i read on these forums but i could be wrong, this is why i am asking before i make an expensive mistake...



Thanks!

 

Bigger tires up front! You may want to run a square set-up as you order all your wheels in the same width! Tire rotation is an amazing thing! I don't believe you will need spacers, your wheels will be border-line flush with the +20 offset and wide wheels!

 

go to rimtuck.com and plug in the numbers. Lots of examples to browse through

 

Threads merged..

Spacers are not needed, and you can go 255-40-18 & 285-40-18 for tire setups

 

Thanks...if i decide to go witha square setup...what sizeshould i buys all 4 tires
Also, what lug nuts branddo you recommend...i prefer black....read that stock ones wont work?
do i need a drop from stock height with this...setup or should be ok for daily driver...if yes which one ?
Any specific tire brand you guys prefer for daily use?
will i be needing an alignment after this install
Thanks for helping put a new z owner

 

1. 265/35/18, 275/35/18, 255/40/18 <--thats if you want the same size all around. staggered tires on square setup wheels you can go with 245/40 and 275/40, you can even run a 275/35 front and 275/40 rear. it really depends on the goals for your car and its intended use. most importantly...its personal preference.

2. tuner/spline lug nuts---available at your local autozone

3. you don't need to drop...but it will look like **** if you run a 18x10.5 all around with no drop whatsoever.

4. no specific brand--but if by daily use and you live in an area with weather that changes periodically--all seasons should work

 

these would be pure WIN in 18x10. 16in max wtf?! it looks like the same barrel as the 521! come on xxr wheres the nissan love? people with miatas and 1990 civics already have aftermarket wheels, what crowd are they making these for anyway?
Build rims for the expensive cars! evos! 350z! STi! s200! A4! we buy wheels!!!
ie. i will be buying 521's, 526's, 527's AND especially these 531's below IF/WHEN they come in 18's and 5 lug.

 

^ that multi lug pattern just ruins it for me.

 

 

^ so whats the back story on that wheel??

post with no details...?

haha bingo, sorry i didnt post the link, just saw a friend post the pic on FB ... saw the XXR and made me think of this thread :P

 

Does anyone else notice the fact that that car is running on 4/5 lug nuts?

Pretty sure that could be a direct correlation with a stress crack failure....

 

^ this, plus that doesnt look like a 35mph crash to me. anyways. fake wheels rock.
